How does Chess Politics Affect Chess in Kalamazoo Michigan? by Andrew
Zito

I really don't like these lines of discussion others raise because it
seems some what naive and I have difficulty finding a place to begin
but certainly when people enjoy chess and sports and culture one is
entitled to an answer to their questions as why the president may
interrupt the Super Bowl.

The answer is simple though it is not one which Bobby Fischer had
really grasped as he acted primarily as an individualist. The Pushed
Pawn has adopted the Beastie Boyz theme song line of "You have to
fight for your right to party" into You have to fight for your right
to play chess!"

Chess is not merely a game between one player and his mates but an
international mental sport that has millions of enthusiasts
nationally and internationally, of which there are only 90.000 in the
US organized into the USCF representing the estimated 20,000,000
chess players here in the US which is because of reasons beyond
merely playing chess. Now if you wish to chess and have a great club
with facilities to go to that is affected by issues that arise when
the membership numbers are restricted by them being keep low due to
policies which are corrupt backward and simply wrong. What occurs in
chess on a local level occurs because of what occurs on many other
levels that has a ripple effect directly affected by reactionary
beliefs that doesn't even value chess (art, sports, and music for
that matter) unless there is a specific monetary value placed on
those activities.
How does all this Chess Politics Affect Chess in Kalamazoo Michigan?
Well to be fair beside aspects of the support that could be better
organized on the local level related to funding so that high school
chess clubs get equal treatment with football and basketball, so that
they can have access to official boards, sets, clocks, and staff,
community centers and libraries made available without chess
organizers having to beg borrow and steal to get them,

So that funding can be made available for teaching, coaching, travel
and hotel stays and merely middle class kids will not the only ones
able to afford what is denied kids and players of lower incomes.

'Stuart Finney' is a case in point as "a forward on his soccer team"
who "can play Haydn on the piano with his eyes closed *** is
currently the fifth-ranked 8-year-old in America", who has been
encouraged by the extraordinary provisions of his father who is able
to "shepherd him to tournaments every month, take him to chess club
on other weekends, buy him more than 30 chess primers, and pay $50 an
hour for weekly chess lessons". .(Ibid.. Child's Play: Grade-School
Grandmasters Square Off By ROBERT ANDREW POWELL Published: December
19, 2003 New York Times Online Travel Section)

Though admirably

"Mrs. Heung, a stay-at-home mother married to a civil engineer, feels
the expense is justified by her son's ability.''It's a sacrifice,''
she said, estimating she spends about $10,000 a year on chess for her
son, a sum that the family struggles to afford.'' (Ibid. Child's
Play: Grade-School Grandmasters Square Off By ROBERT ANDREW POWELL
Published: December 19, 2003 New York Times Online Travel Section)

I ask if that is the case for a civil engineer's family with a stay
at home mom what is the hope for a children with two or even one
parent barely surviving on minimum wages (which doesn't mention the
issue of health care).

When American chess players compete internationally why is it that
they are represented by a chess federation of less than 40,000 voting
members corrupted by private financial and commercial interests and
the Russians, the Chinese are represented by federations of millions
of members? Why is it that Germany and European countries subsidizes
chess as a sport but here in the good ole USA high school chess clubs
are lucky to get anything?

When an American gets into a confrontation with FIDE does he or she
want to be presented by a federation of approximately 40,000 voting
members or one with millions of members as one which represents the
United States?

It is not a question of parents making sacrifices, I am tired of
hearing how parents are being forced to take individual efforts to
provide their children what in needed in America. It is a question of
America and Americans ensuring that what is required to be done is
done not as a privilege and vested interests (as all too often rights
become merely privileges catering to special constituencies in senior
residencies and centers).

Perhaps you should visit the high school track in Flint, and ask why
though that High School team had a very impressive track record some
years that and they didn't compete at home (because their running
track was muddy and in permanent disrepair due to a lack of funds,
financial, political, and corrupt mismanagement in matters related to
social programs. Whereas rhetoric is the staple and starvation is the
result it is time to end those and other more egregious practices and
to encourage an appropriate outlook in chess..

And any one wishing to separate the chess from the politics or
dictate where and when those matters are to be discussed are not
doing chess America or any one any good but instead act in a rude
inappropoate socially myopic narrow minded sectarian manner
perpetrated under pretexts of what is supposedly good for chess.

I think Jeff's point was more that this particular board is geared
toward discussion within Michigan. Surely if people from Michigan
wanted to discuss a national topic it would be appropriate. But
discussing something national with national figures just doesn't seem
to fit. That and honestly.. I'd rather not see the board begin to get
spammed by messages like so many others are.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Jeff,

With all due respect, USCF operations do have a direct effect on
Chess in Michigan.  I don't have a dog in this hunt, but as USCF
members we would do well do be active in questioning the wisdom or
lack of it on the part of those we elect to spend our dues money.

Could it be that we are all a bit disconnected from the realities of
the organized structure that represents us, and that may well explain
why so many people who play chess, disdain organized play?  I mean,
if we who do participate in organized chess don't care, then why
would casual chess player want to sign onto such a system?

Regards,
Norm

though that is what I could politely call ignorant I don't ...

I know your position in local chess and respect that but ....

as the Russians even after the fall of the Soviet Union can claim
millions of members though the USA has 20 million chess players, what
can the USA claim for chess in that your leadership and the rest of

Sam Sloan doesn't have a formal membership group which is one of the

technically these were originally called email lists

I repeat you made comments without reading and appropriate

the USCF generally is a friendly group of friendly people

bad leadership should not be cause for what I percieve from you as

USCF Crossville Tennessee Building Construction a Bad Investment
by Andrew Zito October 29. 2005.

Though I am not an architect nor in the construction trades recently
I mentioned in passing references views that generally challenged
accepted references regarding the USCF decision to construct a
building for its use as a headquarters at the new location of
Crossville Tennessee . I write this at the bequest of Mr. Sam Sloan
who expressed that it was generally accepted within USCF circles that
such a building would be constructed of masonry and be of a permanent
long lasting nature rather than frame stud construction. This is the
culminative result of information, belief and knowledge, and further
research relating to the matter.

Well, a statement from the Sam Sloan group. Glad that Sam Sloan does
not hold the idea that UFO¡¯s come to Earth to play chess. If he did,
he would be demanding all USCF members would need to prove what

In a message dated 10/23/05 5:13:01 AM Eastern Daylight Time,

Mr. Channing and the USCF board shouldn't even be responding to your ludicrous claims.

Members buy a membership -- the contents of the membership are flexible and open to change at any time by a vote of the delegates.

The two publications (CL and SM) are a benefit of membership -- they are published solely for the purpose of communicating to the USCF's membership.

You would have a claim if 50,000 people bought a *subscription* -- there are a few dozen (maybe a few hundred) who do that.

Andrew Zito called me at 2:20 AM this morning to wake up me and my
wife and baby with this complaint.

He said that he forgot that I was in New York, not California.

However, he has a valid complaint, which is that US ChessLive was
advertised as a service by the USCF.

As far as I know, the USCF has no further connection with US ChessLive
and nowadays US ChessLive is owned entirely by Games Parlor.

Zito says that he purchased a multi-year membership in US ChessLive
relying on the belief that it was owned and regulated by the USCF.

Apparently, Zito wants his money back.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it except admit that
he has a valid complaint.

We can and should however change the USCF website to show that the
USCF no longer has any connection with US ChessLive and we should
demand that Games Parlor make similar changes on their websites.

Why Joel Channing can "Chill Out" by Andrew  Zito

I call on the USCF Executive board to join me in supporting a full
and thorough prosecutorial investigation of all USCF related
activities, ventures, associations.

As a USCF member though I can plainly see the ethical problems of the
USCF leadership in you and other insiders, as it is no surprise you
ask me to "chill out" when you have thru one means or another acted
with other insiders to cheat the membership.

The USCF leadership has acted in a morally and ethiclly bankrupt
manner and fashion while hiding it all behind the pretenses of any
tyrants ... now if the USCF leadership will make good on what was
cheated finanacially where will that leave the USCF except bankruptcy.

In that you pretend the executive board will address the issues when
they already should have been addressed as issues generally known to
the public as a whole but weren't is in itself in an unappologetic
fraud.

My subscription to the USCHesslive USCF Games Parlor criminal
operation is paid up until 2008-02-01 that netted from me alone a
sizible amount of money in a business matter that I was prented as
being owned by the USCF as "USChesslive was the USCF chess server"
where they held "online tournaments" held no where else on the
internet.

The minimally the torts for which the USCF et al have been guilty of
are "breech of contract", "contractual interference",
misrepresention, favoritism, cronyism, anbd what they are criminally
responsible is the fraud by which over 50,000 scholastic members were
deprived of approx 8 issues of "School Mates".

USchesslive is a travesty where they censor people online for
language that is commonly spoken in broadcast television while they
have refused to provide adult based channels for adult use.

We don't need another shopping list of errors, criticism, etc we need
a full federal investigation of all matters related to the USCF in
that even a past president of the USCF (Maxim Dlugy)(90-93) was
implicated in criminal matters regarding embezzlement by the Russian
government that perhaps involves money laundering, manipulations and
other frauds.

"The prosecutor's office of Solikamsk, Perm Region, has accused
American citizen Maksim (Max) Dlugi, former chairman of the board of
OAO Solikamsk Magnesium Plant, of embezzlement of $9 million. He had
been wanted since November 2004. He was arrested in Sheremetyevo-2
Airport in Moscow, where he arrived from Switzerland with a
connecting flight to Perm." (http://www.kommersant.com/page.asp?
id=578148 Russia's online daily, Moscow Times
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2005/05/18/011.html)

The crimes Dlugy was accused of (embezzlement and fraud) are related
to the the white collar of money laundering) fixing chess matchs,
preferential treatment etc.

Where did it all begin? Undoubtedly in the good old USA the land of
Golden oportunity!

At 13 "Maxim (Max) Dlugy is a Grandmaster of chess. He was born on
January 29, 1966 in Moscow, USSR. He arrived with his family in the
United States in about 1979. He was a late developer and was only an
average player for his age until he shot up in strength in the early
1980s. He was awarded the International Master title in 1982. He won
the World Junior Chess Championship in 1985." Wikipedia.org)

At the age of 24 he became a President of the USCF and undoubtedly
gained and benefited from that relationship that he soon out grown to
the point he entered the field of finance perhaps he got his start
with funds and favors he acquired due to his relationship to the USCF
as chess grandmasters are not generally know for making a lot of
money, often they have unsavory connections, associates.

I call for a full and thorough investigation public federal
investigation of the United States Chess Federation, that the USCF
executive join and cooperate in this call for an investigation, as
what is just and proper, as is required under law.

Larry of the current insiders who has not been tainted? in the Last 6 years
ever one connected to one questionable bunch or the others who had anything
to do with the USCF has walked away in failure and and with questions of
integrity hanging over their heads.

Since Sloan has been the victim of his own errors and excesses and has not
objectively reprented his errors and sins so the question is why?

He criticized mano pesada de nuestro presidente for promoting "drugs" when
said "drugs' were actually "nutritional supplements" (please don't thank me
for pointing this out) while he could of and should of criticized her for
improper commercial endorsement of questionable unapproved products.

No "your man Sammy" is a dud and should be regarded as such .... an
eccentric loner who wants no part of the USCF (except for the fact that he
runs egotisticly for offices he should be under such conditions denied).

Besides that I think that all the rest should be locked up and charged with
something though at present I don't know what besides violations of the ten
commandments.

Thank You first of all for once again misquoting me as one can not expect
you to
properly quote matters nor to state them. Nor generally can we expect
anything more than your biased
one-sided optimistic approach in favor of the status quo you and the Sam
Sloans of this world spin the numbers for (we can wonder how it benefit$$$
you!).

The truth of the matter is that the recent "victorious candidiates for the
US chess federation received  LESS VOTES THAN 5% OF THE TOTAL MEMBERSHIP
APPROVE THEM (if not please sue me or give your mouth and pen a rest) even
though you insist on treating foreign and currently under 16 year members as
second class citizen chattel for the benefit of the privileged group elite
group of commercial profiteers you shamefully vocally represent.

The fact that many groups do just as badly does not mean any of them do well
and that:
the Turnout "demonstrated the unmoving nature of any of the USCF factions'
leadership"
Nor because you're "been involved in a number of membership organizations"
does that qualify you as any sort of expert so as to be qualified to say on
face value "that nearly 14% of of those eligible to vote did so.  *** and
"it is seldom the case that over 10% of the membership votes" when you again
provide nothing else except unqualified conjecture.

Subject: [madison_a_potluck] Is the Dept. of Homeland Security on your campus?

Greetings,

For those who may not be aware, the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security has
set up new centers on dozens of college campuses and taken over other
older national security related centers.  The national consortium office
for this effort is based in Ohio and funnels money for programs, as well
as undergraduate and graduate fellowships to member institutions.
UW-Madison is just one of those members.  Below is a recent Counter
Punch article on this, as well as a full list of the participating
educational institutions from the Dept. of Homeland Security website.

Obviously, we need to do something about this... - John

************************
Alexander Cockburn (COUNTERPUNCH, 1-26-05)

The CIA's New Spies on Campus

After disclosure of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's effort to set a
new and spectacularly unaccountable version of the CIA in the Pentagon,
the sprouting forest of secret intelligence operations set up in the
wake of 9/11 is at last coming under some scrutiny. Here's sinister one
in the academic field that one that that had escaped scrutiny until this
week.

Dr David Price, of St Martins College, in Olympia, Washington is an
anthropologist long interested in the intersections of his discipline
with the world of intelligence and national security, both the CIA and
the FBI. CounterPunchers know Price's work well. Now he's turned the
spotlight on a new test program, operating without detection or protest,
that is secretly placing CIA agents in American university classrooms.

With time these students who cannot admit to their true intentions will
inevitably pollute and discredit the universities in which they are now
enrolled. Subscribers to our CounterPunch newsletter are now receiving
the edition with Price's full investigation. Herewith a brief resume of
his expose.

Even before 9/11 government money was being sluiced into the academies
for covert subsidies for students. The National Security Education
Program (NSEP) siphoned off students from traditional foreign language
funding programs and offered graduate students good money, sometimes
$40,000 a year and up, to study "in demand" languages, but with pay-back
stipulations mandating that recipients later work for unspecified U.S.
national security agencies.

When the NSEP got off the ground in the early 1990s there was some huff
and puff from concerned academics about this breaching of the supposed
barrier between the desires of academia and the state. But there wasn't
even a watch-pup's yap about Congressional approval for section 318 of
the 2004 Intelligence Authorization Act which appropriated four million
dollars to fund a pilot program known as the Pat Roberts Intelligence
Scholars Program (PRISP), named after Senator Pat Roberts (R. Kansas,
Chair, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence).

PRISP is designed to train intelligence operatives and analysts in
American university classrooms for careers in the CIA and other
agencies. The program now operates on an undisclosed number of American
college and university campuses. Dr Price has discovered that if the
pilot phase of the program proves to be a useful means of recruiting and
training members of the intelligence community then the program will
expand to more campuses across the country.

PRISP participants must be American citizens who are enrolled fulltime
in graduate degree programs. They need to "complete at least one summer
internship at CIA or other agencies", and they must pass the same
background investigations as other CIA employees. PRISP students receive
financial stipends ranging up to $25,000 per year and they are required
to participate in closed meetings with other PRISP scholars and
individuals from their administering intelligence agency.

From his enquiries Dr Price has determined that less than 150 students a
year are currently authorized to receive funding during the pilot phase
as PRISP evaluates the program's initial outcomes. PRISP is apparently
administered not just by the CIA, but also through a variety of
individual intelligence agencies like the NSA, MID, or Naval Intelligence.

Secrecy is the root problem here, with the usual ill-based assumption
that good intelligence operates best in clandestine conditions. Of
course America needs good intelligence, but the most useful and
important intelligence can largely be gathered openly without the sort
of covert invasion of our campuses that PRISP silently brings.

Anyone doubting the superior merits of open intelligence has only to
study the sorry saga of the non-existent WMDs whose imagined threat in
vast stockpiles was ringingly affirmed by all the secret agencies, while
being contested by analysts unencumbered by bogus covert intelligence
estimates massaged by Iraqi disinformers and political placemen in
Langley and elsewhere.

Dr Price says, "The CIA makes sure we won't know which classrooms PRSIP
scholars attend, this being rationalized as a requirement for protecting
the identities of intelligence personnel." But this secrecy shapes PRISP
as it takes on the form of a covert operation in which PRISP students
study chemistry, biology, sociology, psychology, anthropology and
foreign languages without their fellow classmates, professors, advisors,
department chairs or presumably even research subjects (knowing that
they are working for the CIA, DIA, NSA or other intelligence agencies.

"In a decade and a half of Freedom of Information Act research," Dr
Price continues, " I have read too many FBI reports of students
detailing the 'deviant' political views of their professors." In one
instance elicited by Dr Price from files he acquired under FOIA, the FBI
arranged for a graduate student to guide topics of 'informal'
conversation with anthropologist Gene Weltfish that were later the focus
of an inquiry by Joseph McCarthy). Today, Dr Price maintains, "These
PRSIP students are also secretly compiling dossiers on their professors
and fellow students."

The confluence between academe and intelligence is long standing and
pervasive. In 1988 CIA spokeswoman Sharon Foster bragged that the CIA
then secretly employed enough university professors "to staff a large
university". Most experts estimate that this presence has grown since 2001.

But If the CIA can use PRISP to corral students, haul along to mandatory
internships and summer sessions, douse them in the ethos of CIA, then it
can surely shape their intellectual outlook even before their grasp of
cultural history develops in the relatively open environment of their
university.

Academic environments thrive on open disagreement, dissent, and
reformulation. As Dr Price writes," The presence of PRISP's secret
sharers brings hidden agendas that sabotage fundamental academic
processes. The Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars Program infects all
academia with the viruses dishonesty and distrust as participant
scholars cloak their intentions and their ties to the cloaked masters
they serve."
