I congratulate Frank and Jim Berry for successfully bringing the US Championship to Oklahoma. We willhelp all we can to make the tournament a huge success. We will continue to maintain our excellent rapport with AF4C and Erik Anderson. As far as the future is concerned: “The Best is yet to come, we will make it so!” Don Schultz
The vote is currently 3-1 in favor of Frank Berry’s bid, with two Board members yet to vote, but I do expect this bid to be approved and will post further details when this happens. Bill Goichberg
This is the same Berry brothers that just successfully organized the North American FIDE Open! I am very grateful for the contributions to chess by the Berry brothers! Thank you Jim and Frank!
I’m amazed that Susan continues to promote people who are running against her in the election. This is unheard of in politics.
More of an acknowledgement of a job well done than anything else, but it is refreshing.
I’m sure Sam Sloan is one of the votes waiting to be cast and would just love to ruin the party, I’m sure.
I don’t understand what possess people to vote for Sam Sloan. He’s a scummy character. He’s a liar and he’s out to destroy anyone who stands in his way. He’s done nothing for chess except insult members and sponsors. I hope he’ll get 0 vote in the next election and the new board will suspend his membership for unethical conducts.
I guess it is time for me to get a coach so I can start preparing for Oklahoma. Any suggestions?
Excellent. I’m glad to see the event salvaged after the recent fiasco.
This is not over yet. Sam Sloan said that he’ll do everything to kill this deal just as he did with the AF4C. He’s now gunning for the SPF and the Berrys.
It will be called the Frank K. Berry US Championship as he is donating AT LEAST $50,000!!!
