Is there a Chess newsgroup without all the USCF crap?

I want to read about games, matches and occasionally how hot one of
the women GMs look. I could care less about the USCF board or Sam
Lafferty Sloan the 3rd. My kill filters are working overtime because
the spamming buttheads keep changing names. Is there a newsgroup
without all the political crap? Thanks in advance.

Kill anything cross-posted to more than four groups and anything at
all cross-posted to rec.games.chess.politics. That catches most of
the (fake-)sloan junk without needing to worry about what address is
quoted in the headers.
