Did you dislike this quote by Denker, as offered by Acers, Matt:-
.... "Because I had just retired as a successful businessman people wanted me
to inspect the US chess federation books. There was then no question that
the US chess federation was run by crooks and thieves...they simply stole
with phony contracts, took money for years of service and the like...all the
time while leaving players destitute...even Fischer was playing for peanuts
while living in near poverty in New York ." ...
There are those of us who call for a greater transparency, and less of a
closed-shop environment. I am sorry - if this really is the part to which
you object - if this has the appearance of disloyalty. It may at times be
disloyal to USCF, but not to Chess in America.
You are a relative newbie to all these goings on, and i do not wish to
dissuade you from your current opinion, as to note the authority and
standing in the US and the World of the person who wrote those words So -
not believe or disbelieve anything, but suspend your belief entirely while
we ponder the man's words.
Cordailly, Phil Innes
