You're right; I've changed to dxe5.  Maybe one of these turns I'll do
things correctly.
Duly noted, but I didn't record your next move in order to keep the
games in synch.  (Nice to know what's coming, 'though.)
We did.  Had the whole famned damily in - three daughters, husbands & 6

Hope 1997 proves healthy & prosperous for you & yours.

user: You are replying to All about "Chess politics".

Write your reply.

assistant: Has anyone besides me been following all of the mud-slinging in the
chess politics echo on the Usenet?  In the last several weeks it has
gotten down and dirty.  First the USCF treasurer started pointing out
that there was all sorts of financial mismanagement going on within the
USCF, particularly a missing $235,000 that is owed to Chess Informant.
  At this point five members of the policy board decided to muzzle the
treasurer and voted to strip him of every duty that they thought that
they could, and then stop giving him information as well.
  The mud has been slung back and forth for some time now, but what is
very obvious is that the five members of the policy board are unable to
address the issues that are being raised by the treasurer.  They are
quick to talk about "working together" and the number of hours that they
have contributed to chess, but when it comes to addressing the real
problems, they either cannot or will not address the issues.
  I have been reading the echo for several months and only recently has
it heated up.  It seems that the five policy board members are incapable
of realizing just how poorly they come across in this debate.  To try
and muzzle someone who is raising issues you don't like instead of
addressing them makes it look like you have something to hide.
  For those of you with access to the Internet, check it out at
rec.games.chess.politics on the Usenet newsgroups.

He was the primary sysop of PAWNSTORM! BBS, North Bend, Oregon USA, Fidonet
1:356/27. He also maintained a mail point under my system at 1:356/4.27.
Details are not known as of yet, one of his close friends (barely able to

least... quite *stunned* by his sudden passing.
I will be remapping his personal mail which is being directed to 1:356/4.27
to my mail point so that I can notify others who may not be reading here

assistant: Hi Doug!!:
         Sorry for bothering you but I wonder if anybody would
like to become my chess tutor? I received a chess set for Christmas
from my fiancee & unfortunately I don't know how to play. Would it
be an inconvience for you or anybody on the system to coach me along
as I'm really a raw novice.
         Hoping to hear from you soon,
            (((((Keith)))))
