The first part may be true but computers still make a lot of mistakes,
especially in deep analysis.

DEAR LARRY PARR
In a message dated 3/3/2008 [email protected] writes:
Thank you for the link to The Bobby Fischer That We Loved.
by Larry Evans. I don't subscribe to Chess Life and might
never have found it on my own.
Fisher certainly was an exceptionally sad
case in life -- so talented and brilliant and yet a
flawed diamond. After all that deranged Fischer
worship, Evans was refreshingly honest.
I especially appreciated Evans' question when he
discussed the impact of computerized chess:
"Why would anyone today devote a lifetime to mastering
a game from which it's almost impossible to earn a
living when a hand-held device can find the best move
in a split second?"
I also liked his answer to Frank Brady at the end
of the article: "I try to make each game a work of art."
I ask you, what better reason is there to devote one's life?

Sam Sloan,
This is a false rumor. What happened was I told Bill Hall I was going
to call the Tennessee DA and complain about being banned
from the newsgroups (forums) unless I got my 1,000 dollars back,
becasue they were halting discussions about child safety. I had
to deal with this problem with FIDE, I was worried about being
arrested, and I was sending everything I could outside
of the USA to protect my nation. Human life is more important than
membership in a chess organziation.
Paul had threatened to expel me from the USCF, and in fact, he is
himself responsible for making the "offensive"
posts calling Mike Nolan a NAZI. Paul Truong FRAMED ME.
I am planing to file a protest with Secretary Rice. I am an
Ambassador, and I have been expelled, in violation of international
law, from the US Chess Federation. Anything I posted as an act of my
mission, and that has been docuemtned at the state deparment.
I AM CLAIMING DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY FROM EXPULSION - AT THE US STATE
DEPARTMENT.
I don't really want back in (40 or 50 dollars is ok) I want to FORCE A
PEACE MEETING.
We all need to sit down at the State Department and talk about this.
They expelled me from the FORUMS without a hearing. I never even got a
chance to appeal

I am informed that you were not kicked out of the USCF. Rather, you
asked for a refund of your $1000 life membership dues and Bill Hall
complied with alacrity.
If that is not true, I would like to hear about it.

FISCHER'S LUNACY
In a message dated 3/1/2008 9:18:00 AM Pacific Standard Time,
[email protected] writes:
Larry:
I really enjoyed the article and the way it leads up to making the
final point
that Fischer was a much better competitor than a champion.
II appreciate Fischer's dedication in keeping his "game face" on
from
that day in his young life that he decided to accept the self-
commissioned
challenge of putting aside being a normal adolescent in favor of
becoming the best chess player on the planet. That part is not lunacy.
The lunacy takes over once you realize that after all the
sacrifice and study you have done that a computer will reduce all
your achievements to just another item on the menu.
What sort of mind could just shrug that off and be a good sport about
it?

I was kicked out of the USCF. when the company goes bankrupt, we will
see how this attitude
of arrogance contines.
On a business level, USCF has lost GOODWILL due to the Trolgar
scandle. That will sink
the company unless we take collective action, which is impossible,
becasue some think
that being a "Chess Grandmaster" keeps them out of jail.
GM Sorvokin died under suspicious circumstances. My attempted arrest
demonstrates to me,
that, in fact, GM SORVKIN WAS KILLED BY FIDE!
Sue me!

USCF

Not mentioned in this article. However, GM Evans in his Chess Life
column at the time criticized the expulsion of Bobby Fischer from the
USCF as "unwise."

Do they say anything about the fact that he was kicked out of the USCF
and Goichberg and Channing would not let him back in?
