Which are the 600 morons who voted for Sam Sloan? Let's see. Laffert,

not been posted.

The Susan Polgar Blogspot this morning states that she is willing to
accept the presidency of the USCF. Here is what it states:

the big question that many of you have asked, would I accept the

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
