The future of chess is very bright. Chess is booming but I do not
see that for the USCF.

I still do get invitations to strong events but I will only play
if it is something interesting and make sense for me. I came out of
retirement and played in the 2004 Olympiad, Women's Chess Cup in
Germany, and the Mayor's Cup in NY. I find those events exciting.

I will be promoting chess for the rest of my life. But I do not
like politics, not now, not ever. I am ashamed of the behavior of some
of my colleagues. Their personal ego and political power is more
important than improving or fixing the USCF.

My involvement with the USCF board is to help this federation. If
they do not want my help then I will continue doing other things for
SPICE and the SPF. Chess will continue to grow with or without the
USCF.

Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

Jolly, as I stated before, I am very disappointed in the state of
USCF chess. I ran for the board to help. Instead of working together
for the good of chess and the USCF, the same small group of people
would do anything to maintain the status quo and their control of the
USCF. Their personal interest, ego, and power is more important than
the welfare of this federation.

In the mean time, chess is booming in America while the USCF
continues to crash and burn.

Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

Are you writing to Ray Gordon, Phil Innes or Rob Mitchell?

Your comment applies to all of them.

I have to agree with her sentiments.

Should she stay on the board given them?

I would assume USCF bylaws would require that board members be committed to
helping the federation.

If she doesn't want to do that, she could free up her seat for someone who
does.

Beware! VH-1's "The Pickup Artst" was FRAUDULENT. Six of the eight

their prromised acting credit. What else has Mystery lied about?

It seems odd that someone who has not paid dues in over ten years, would be
commenting on the inner workings of the Executive Board. The USCF is a
private group, if you are not a member, and don't support it with your dues,
you should shut your mouth.
