This man gets my vote!
It seems that Mr. Korenman is very much involved in scholastic chess and the youth. Are there some examples of him helping to improve adult chess? I really think that adult chess is one of the forgotten areas for many promoters.
As I have grown into an adult (My, how time passes so fast) and am now classified in this category I am particularly interested in this.
However, Mr. Korenman has my vote already anyways. I was just curious about this. Thanks!
Harry, are “you” honestly convinced that Susan “paints with a much wider brush”. Is there somewhere that I continue to miss that Susan has “painted” the whole board with that same brush. I am convinced our differences are in how we choose to read the statements she make calling for change.
In recent weeks, I’ve turned more suspect of the organized opposition to change, and who is leading it. I believe an election letter lumping Susan as a similar candidate to Sam Sloan leads us to where much of this opposition is coming from, and the person who sent it might be participating in more of the destructive USCF politics than meets the eye. Just the idea that he may have requested candidates to join an alliance in exchange for his support is adding fuel that the USCF is very much in need of serious change, which Susan is calling for.
I wouldn’t be going down this road if my good friend hadn’t told me that the USCF has been this way for years, at least since he was on the old “Policy Board” and the tactic was the same then.
Clearly, Susan has spoken out about a need for change in leadership of the USCF. This all started because the USCF elected Sam Sloan. Sam Sloan was elected because of the nature of the USCF and the deal making going on behind the scenes. Honestly, Susan has spoken out about the most important issue facing the USCF and the issue that will either allow chess to flourish in this country or keep it being more of the same “destructive chess politics” that have been going on for 20 years.
Talented, energetic, generous people have quit or avoided support of the USCF because of this nature and she is pointing it out. Those people responsible for it are leading an orchestrated effort to keep it the way it is.
This hurts chess and if the change doesn’t take place soon, may destroy the USCF.
