| <<2300+ ELO Grand Coulee, NM Taylor Kingston, the man who
heliumized his chess rating with 500 points of vapor [...]>>
Sam Sloan claims to be a former master. I am unaware of his having a
published ELO rating above 2200 in any national federation.
Could you look into this matter, Larry?

Sloan: [After correctly objectiing that his felony convictions were for
kidnapping...] Also, although it is true that right now I am rated as
a Class A player, I was a rated expert or master for 40 years and I
recently defeated Bill Brock, a rated expert and former master, in a
chess match with a $1000 stake. Thus, it is generally accepted as
correct to refer to me as a chess master even though my current rating
has fallen to Class A.
Brock: Factually incorrect about Bill Brock, whose peak was rating is
2170 [sic], and therefore makes no claims to be a master.
