He lies everyday. He insults people everyday. He's being a pest
everyday. He writes craps on wikipedia. He's a convicted felon. He
molested young children. He's an unfit father. He's an unfit husband.
He cheated against Bill Brock. He's an embarrassment to the USCF.
Should he be kicked out of the USCF?

2 months back Nick played Chess at:

http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

He won the game with Beginner Level. At that time Game was quite new
and its moves were not good. Now the Game plays very good moves. So
Nick is finding it difficult to digest that the Game has improved.

He made fun of me when he beated the game 2 months back. But I think
now he is unable to beat it because of the improvements. I asked him
show me a recorded game with Normal Level Won by him.

Yesterday he played with Beginner level and was unable to complete the
game saying under time pressure.

Any game with Beginner level can be finished with half an hour as
Beginner Level makes moves in 5-10 seconds. While on Nicks Computer it
takes 1-2 minute for each move. I feel he is playing the game on a 8086
Processor.

Everyone playing my game at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

Were able to Record the game and play quite comforatbly. But Nick
always get Problems. Here are the Problems he gets when Playing game at

http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

1. His Computer Hangs?
2. Beginner Level takes 1-2 minute per move?
3. He is unable to Record the Game

I feel there is something wrong with Nicks computer as my game has been
played on nearly all types of Computers without much problem. Or may be
his internet connection is loose. Or he works on 100 things at a time.

When you play a game at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

1. You should refresh your page for each game
2. Do not open too many files while playing the game
3. Try having a fast Internet Connection.

And then all your games will be recorded properly.

Beginner: 5-10 seconds per move
Easy: 30-50 seconds per move
Normal: 1-2 min per move

Master only for Bob, Taylor Kingston and Bonsai

Bye

Sounds like Nick-Null Boobaki. Let's see:

Nick tends to present a rather idealized picture of himself there.
Here on this group, Nick is generally an object of derision due to his
chronic mendacity, absurd pretensions, and many other strange and
offensive behaviors. However, his motto seems to be "There is no such
thing as bad publicity." Nick wants attention, and whether it comes in
the form of praise (which he seldom receives) or ridicule (which he
receives often), it's all the same to him.

Perfect but not complete:

No lie is beneath Nick. Nick the liar. The notion of dignity
is completely alien to him.

Etc. :-)

At least ishi-Sloan and even gmail-sloan and comments-sloan
have a contribution to rgc*. ishi-Sloan is good at raising the
impportant issues (recently the rating floor or is it floor rating).
All Sams are way more intelligent than Nick-Null.

The immensly huge difference is that Sams are entertaining,
have a sense of humor, while Nick-Null is soooo boring that
it is funny :-)

Given the rubbish that Sanny has been writing to promote
his commercial chess engine, why should Sanny object
to 'chronic mendacity' or 'absurd pretensions'?

It seems to me that Sanny also may believe 'there is
no such thing as bad publicity' about his chess engine.

Sam currently has USCF rating of 1920.

Sam tends to present a rather idealized picture of himself there.
Here on this group, Sam is generally an object of derision due to his
chronic mendacity, absurd pretensions, and many other strange and
offensive behaviors. However, his motto seems to be "There is no such
thing as bad publicity." Sam wants attention, and whether it comes in
the form of praise (which he seldom receives) or ridicule (which he

There is by now a small cluster of Sam Sloans.
And it seems to be ever growing.

None of them seems to be a GM. They are rather etc.

Which one? Most likely you mean the ishi-Sloan.

> He has shown ranking of top 100 Players.

Don't confuse Sam Sloan with USCF and FIDE.
Sam Sloan is a cluster while FIDE and USCF
are single entities called organizations
(a poorly organized organization is still an
organization, don't ask me why).

> What is the Ranking of Sam Sloan?

The ishi-Sloan would like to force himself
into the wikipedia rank, while he ranks
for dirty magazines. That's why he confuses
notoriety (he calls it "being notable") with
achievements and merit. It's like you are
confusing seconds and hours, which to you
is the same.

As I've written elsewhere, there is the ishi-Sloan,
gmail-Sloan, usa-Sloan, comments-Sloan...
Possibly I have missed a couple of them.

Have sam-fun or a lot,

Wlod
