If you need a roommate, please send me an email. I will try to get you in touch with others who may want to share rooms.
When you decided to start this event a few years ago, people like Marinello and others were fighting you tooth and nail. Then members of this executive board wanted to cancel this event. This is why it’s especially amazing to see such incredible success! Thanks Susan! Don’t every give up! Keep on fighting against these chess politicians. We need you!
Susan, don’t let those … bother you. Just keep up the great work!
Manuel,
It is unfortunate that too many people are putting their personal agendas before the welfare of chess or the USCF.
I do not plan to give up. I will continue to fight against this kind of destructive politics.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
