We have selected GM Susan Polgar as the winner of the 2010 ChessCampeona Award in the category of “AMERICAN CHESS ORGANIZER COMEBACK STORY OF THE YEAR”. GM Susan Polgar faced numerous political chess problems in 2009 that caused the USCF to remove its support of the SUSAN POLGAR NATIONAL INVITATIONAL. This tournament was an important event in the annual cycle of the owner of this website, 13-year old WCM Claudia Munoz.
We congratulate GM Susan Polgar for innovating a different style of event as she created the SUSAN POLGAR GIRLS INVITATIONAL to substitute the SPNI. Although Claudia was unable to attend this event due to the recuperation process of a gall bladder operation, GM Susan Polgar took the time to personally call and inquire on Claudia’s participation.
The easiest thing for GM Susan Polgar was to give up in girls chess, she has only gotten started. This is the reason why we symbolically award her our recognition.
Yes, the crooks from the USCF are trying very hard to destroy good people who want to help chess. Susan isn’t the only one they’re going after. There are dozens of other good people who are in the same situation. This is the doing Bill Goichberg, Bill Hall, Randy Bauer, and Jim Berry. These are the same people behind the USCF suing FIDE and costing USCF members millions of dollars.
You forgot to mention me. I’m as ugly, dumb, and smelly as they come. My dream is to smell Lance Armstrong’s bicycle seat.
Well done! Congratulations, Susan. We look forward to larger and more tournaments and, of course, to SPICE events too.
