I find it amazing when those who are a queen down in the endgame claim that they are winning when the rest of the world can see that they are losing. Remember, during the Invasion of Iraq there was this official Iraq government spokesman dubbed by the press as "Baghdad Bob" who daily showed up for his TV interview in which he would claim that the American forces were being decimated, driven back, wiped out, surrounded, had no way to escape and so on, when in reality the American forces were advancing rapidly, winning every battle (if you could even call them battles). Even when the American forces had entered Saddam's Hussein's palaces and set up offices there, Baghdad Bob was still on TV claiming that the Americans had been utterly destroyed. Now, we are having the same sort of things going on here in the Polgar Wars. The Polgar Group has taken to declaring victory. Kind of reminds one of the way that George W. Bush declared the "end of hostilities" in Iraq. Here are some examples: gregory on Fri Oct 26, 2007 4:43 pm #75593 I see that you too are upset that your evidence and case is falling apart Sam.

The goddesschess comment is at: http://goddesschess.blogspot.com/2007/10/susan-polgar.html I have just posted two comments and I am waiting to see if she will respond, or if she will just delete my comments in the style of her hero, Susan Polgar. Meanwhile, I am wondering if Janet Newton is a USCF Member. Her name is not listed in the MSA. Possibly she is a parent member. She certainly seems interested in chess. She has a blog about "Chess News about Women". She donated a $300 brilliancy prize to the US Woman's Championship, which eventually got paid after some mishaps and the usual messups by Bill Hall, our Executive Director who somehow forgot about the money. (He seems to have problems with things like that.) I am remembering that when I first got involved with Susan Polgar in Budapest Hungary in 1986, it seemed that she was constantly at war with the entire Hungarian Chess Federation and had no friends and allies and indeed she seemed to be at war with the entire country of Hungary as well. At that time, I had only heard her side of the story and she seemed to be in the right and I could not understand why so many people seemed to have so much against her. I never really get to hear the other side of the story, but it seems that history is repeating itself and again we have the situation of Polgar vs. The Rest of the World (save a few remaining supporters like Janet Newton).

This is a bit subtle, but apparently, correct. After convincing the enemy that they are "on top" and "in control" by allowing them to sit on top of your belly and pound your arms and sides with their fists, only THEN are you in a position to gain control of the situation, to lull them into a false sense of security and launch a decisive counter attack. Some call it jujitsu, others call it rope-a-dope. > Now, we are having the same sort of things going on here in the Polgar > Wars. The Polgar Group has taken to declaring victory.

But even if so, it may not have been in vain if just one slimeball is rooted out of the USCF establishment for good. But for that to happen, it may require a certain degree of competence... and thus, I am not holding my breath. -- help bot
