Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Not even one single American events is in the USCF. Thank you Mr. Goichberg and Mr. Jim Berry. The two of you are the most incompetent USCF board members in history. You should have pride and resign for the sake of all 79,000 members.
Frank Berry, the brother of Jim seems to be doing some USCF National Events in Tulsa OK. See the June CHESS LIFE. 1st U.S. Women’s Open, 2009 US Senior. Both events are FIDE Rated and open to any one in the World who joins USCF.

Yes, this was the event where many of the top U.S. players boycotted. This is the same event where Jim Berry told GM Onischuk to get lost because he complained that the playing space was too small and not adequate for a national championship. He told Onischuk feel free to drop out and let him know when he can take Onischuk to the airport when he decided to drop out. Classy!
Russell once again is defending the indefensible. He must be lobbying to be on the USCF friend’s list 🙂
USCF stinks. I smell the stink each time it is mentioned.
