The solution is simple, yet obvious: our governing body should not be a not-for-profit corporation. Either strip USCF of this status, have a court do it, or disband USCF and replace it with a for-profit concern like ICC or Dr. Moskow, who could run it as a patron if he wanted. Many problems USCF has now will not be solved due to its structure as a nonprofit, and would not exist in a for-profit...

While observing all the discourse in this newsgroup a question occurred to me. This is not aimed at any particular faction. Given that most of the U.S. chess politicians have a chess background, does the essential nature of chess conflict lead to less perception and appreciation for Win/Win solutions to political problems? Are chess players just too ornery to govern themselves? Note: I am not...

I was at a local chess club last evening getting petitions signed. The overwhelming opinion of Polgar is negative. Her suing the USCF was a major shot in her foot. Most of the players had seen her complaint and were appalled by it. The word "Bull****!" kept coming up. Of 13 people I asked to sign, only one refused and he didn't give any reason.

As long as your appeal is pending the case is still alive and you have a conflict to address as a candidate. I'm betting Sam will do the right thing.
