Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Any news on FIDE Congress decisions which matter to us?
Yes, FIDE concluded that the USCF sent a bunch of nutjobs and no one should take them seriously.
Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Jokester, I don’t see anything funny about your statement. It is the sad reality that all involved seem to be a bunch of nut jobs. An Kirsan is the Nut-in-Chief
