Nobody is allowed to use the l-word on the USCF Issues Forum so I will clue everybody in here. I have had extensive dealings with Bill Hall and I must tell you...
The debate about this is raging over on the USCF Issues Forum but I will try to explain here briefly what this is all about. In early 2005, the USCF contracted...
There was a motion to hold the next board meeting in person rather than online as has been previously announced. The vote barely passed 4-3, with Truong,...
A lot of time was wasted talking about the history of the US Open, something that any board member should already know about. There were fire works at the end,...
Sam, Thanks for the alert -- I checked out that page and it seemed to be a pretty respectful comment about my little magazine. Amazing that after 9 years, it...

The board has wasted a tremendous amount of time this morning discussing ridiculous issues. One was a Goichberg idea to allow rich people to buy seats on the ...
They have discussed 1) Ways to get rid of Sam Sloan 2) Allowing rich people to buy their way on the board. 3) Why Paul cannot step across the California State...
... During the meeting, Joel Channing said that it was obvious what the reason was that Paul Truong cannot go to California, but Channing did not tell us what...
I think that under the circumstances there is a good chance that we could get the 96 signatures needed to start a recall of Mr. Truong. However, then there...
During the just-completed USCF Executive Board meeting, Bill Goichberg made two proposals for governance re-structuring. The second was obviously intended to...
I think that everybody who watched the meeting on the webcam was astounded by how much BSing and aimless bantering took place and how rarely was there any...
