I have filed a lawsuit against Truong, Polgar, USCF et al after it was proven that 2464 obscene posts impersonating me has been posted to the chess newsgroups. Here is the Mottershead Report proving this.
The case has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York at 500 Pearl Street, New York NY 10007.
The case number is 07 CIV 8537
The judge is Judge Denny Chin
The Magistrate Judge is Judge Frank Maas
The suit seeks to overturn the results of the 2007 USCF Election on the grounds of election fraud and to reinstate the directors who were thrown out in that election until a new election can be held. The complaint alleges that defendants Susan Polgar and Paul Truong impersonated Sam Sloan and sent out three thousand obscene and pornographic newsgroup postings during the election campaign in order to discredit Sloan and get themselves elected so as to take over the USCF Finances.
The papers and pleadings filed in the Southern District of New York can be downloaded at the following addresses: Summons in Sloan vs. Truong.

In case anybody doubts the truth and accuracy of what you are about to read here, one of my frequent critics made the following statement:
"Sam Sloan is nearly always right; the trouble is that his insights are so deep, and so far ahead of the time, that they appear incredible to the educated layman. I myself have occasionally made the mistake of thinking that Sam Sloan had made an error. Invariably, sometimes a year or more later, I had to admit my mistake.
"Jurgen R."

Woman's Chess in the Republic of Georgia
Our favorite chess-girl, Irina Krush, aged 14, has just won the United States Woman's Chess Championship with the fantastic score of 8 1/2 - 1/2. Irina would have been a contender for the World Championship for her age group but, due to a nefarious scheme to prevent her from winning both titles, both the US Woman's Championship and the World Youth Championships in Marina d'Or, Spain were scheduled for the same dates.
The World Youth Championships were held in Marina d'Or, Spain from October 25 until November 7, 1998.
Laura Ross, aged 9, our other favorite chess-girl, finished 8th in the world championship for her age group.
It is important to monitor such events because invariably the top finishers almost all will become grandmasters and a few will someday contest the world title. The next world champion in the post-Kasparov era will probably be one of the kids at Marina d'Or, Spain.
Here are the results of the 1998 World Youth Championships in Marina d'Or, Spain.
Altogether, there were 876 players in the ten sections combined. Here is the complete list of winners: 1998 World Youth Championship Results from Marina d'Or, Spain.
Here are the last round results and complete final standings in each of the ten sections:
There were numerous web sites covering the Chess Olympiad. The best, quickest and most complete results are available from Iceland! However, only a few games were available, because FIDE wants to sell the games! Here are links:

One of the many Dirty Tricks which took place in connection with the 1996 campaign for USCF President was that Woodrow Harris, former Secretary of the United States Chess Federation and an old crony of my election opponent, Dirty Don Schultz, made a complaint to the Department of Social Services about my daughter just at the conclusion of the election campaign. Here is the Letter Acknowledging Complaint by Woodrow Harris to the DSS .

In 1985, I wrote a pamphlet entitled "The Origin of Chess". This pamphlet proved that chess was not invented in India, as is commonly believed, and that chess was most likely invented in China.
The most important element in this proof is that Indian Sanskrit scholars state categorically that there is no reference to chess in early Indian literature, whereas H.J.R. Murray had based his claim that chess was invented in India entirely on citations to these Sanskrit works.
No new sources have emerged since 1985. Here is my pamphlet entitled The Origin of Chess .
In 1988, I attended the World Chess Olympiad in Salonika, Greece as an accredited journalist. I wrote numerous articles intended for publication. I did not become aware until one month after the Olympiad was over that Dawn of Leisure Linc had banned my articles from that network and that, as a result, none of my articles had appeared. No explanation has ever been given for this. Had this not occurred, I would have been the first to report the sensational defection of Soviet No. 2 woman player Elena Akhmilovskaya, an item which made the world news, not just the chess news.
Here are some of the articles I wrote and transmitted to Leisure Linc which never appeared. And I ask, was Dawn justified in banning these materials from the chess news wires?: FIDE Congress Meets in Salonika , Debates at Meetings of World Chess Federation , Polgar Sisters Defeat Soviets in World Chess Olympiad , American Women Score Upset Draw Against USSR , World Chess Federation Election Campaign for 1990 Underway , Reactions to Soviet Defection Mixed , Schultz Denies Involvement in Effort to Bring Back Wayward Soviet Girl , Mike the Scrabble Player Wins Bronze Medal at World Chess Olympiad and Anti-Israel Boycott at World Chess Olympiad .
