Apparently few in the outside world realize that one of the features in Bill Goichberg's "new plan" is that, in additional to making Chess Life optional, the...

... This is exactly the problem. According to statistics provided by Mike Nolan, although the USCF has 86,000 members, only 7,500 of them play in more than one...
Steve Immitt, who is the biggest tournament organizer in the US, made an interesting point over on the USCF Forums. It happens surprisingly often that a player...
... Dear Mr. Ansel, You apparently believe that my opposition to Bill Goichberg's plan to eliminate membership cards is motivated solely by my hatred for Bill ...
That is an absurd position for the leader of a "membership organization" to take -- the entire point of membership cards is to give a token of value to the...

People thought I was exaggerating when I wrote that Bill Goichberg and the rest of the board has gone completely mad. In reality, I was understating the...
