Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids

Subject: Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids

In one of the most preposterous, ridiculous and absurd claims
imaginable, Joel Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids in her
program.

However, there is no evidence that Polgar has any kids in her program.
Polgar has no schools, no students and no program anywhere, as far as
anybody has been able to find out.

Here is what Joel Channing wrote in the BINFOS:

"We currently have five executed endorsement agreements. The number
of
children recently reported as receiving chess instruction from our
partners'
curricula and/or participating in their other programs is as follows:

"AF4C 25,000
"Berkeley Chess School 5,000
"Kasparov Foundation 75,000 - 100,000
"Kid Chess 6,000
"Susan Polgar Foundation 300,000

Since when? I have been complaining about this "Internet Insurance"
from day one. In the first place, I did not think there was any such
thing as Internet Insurance. I repeatedly demand that Bill Hall tell
us what the Internet Insurance covered. He refused to answer the
question and the rest of the board would not back me up on this.

All of the things that Ron Suarez is complaining about, I complained
about too, at the time they were occurring. The reason you do not know
that is most of my complaints were deleted from the USCF Forum as
"violations of the AUG".

Ron is correct.

It was at Channing's insistence that the USCF Purchase "Internet
Insurance". In 2006, I made a motion that the Internet insurance be
canceled. My motion lost. It is true that a majority voted for it, but
that was because Channing was extremely insistent on it.

It was also Channing's idea to hold the "Retreat" to Florida. At the
time it was first announced, I assumed that Channing was going to pay
for it because he had just gotten elected on the basis of being a very
wealthy man. No vote was taken and I am sure that the board would
never have voted for this.

I and many other USCF members were stunned and shocked when we learned
that the USCF had to pay for it.

At the last Executive Board meeting, Bill Goichberg proposed that the
Internet Insurance be canceled. All board members were in favor of
this, except for Channing who said that he would resign from the board
if the Internet Insurance were canceled. The other board members have
been treading lightly about this threat or promise. We are waiting to
see what will happen next.

Why should I believe you, Sam. Didn't you claim to be a former rated
USCF master,
and a current USCF rated expert in front of a camera? Perhaps if you
had received
instruction from Ms. Polgar on how to play chess, you might be able to
achieve your
dream of being a USCF Master.

Susan Polgar does more for chess in one day than you have done in your
entire
life, Mr. Sloan. What has Sam Sloan ever done for chess in the US?

The other programs on this list are believed to actually hire and pay
teachers who are sent out to a network of schools who have contracted
for their services. Examples are Dean Ippolito's school in New Jersey
and, I believe, Sophia Rohde's school in New York, plus Chess-in-the-
Schools.

Simply faxing the "Polgar curriculum" for free to a school district
should not count. The real issues here are that the programs that
receive this "endorsement" claim the right to have a banner ad posted
on the uschess website and this was the outcome of the "retreat" by
insiders to Florida in 2006.

I realize that FIDE has been hijacked by a Central Asian former Soviet
Republic, but I've never heard of a country called Nevis - it sounds
like a place in Great Britain, with which, I should think, the CIS
would be hesitant about letting any of its members start a war.

If he had claimed that she had given *birth* to 300,000 children,
*that* really would have been "one of the most preposterous,
ridiculous and absurd claims imaginable". But he didn't, although the
title of your post could be taken as implying that. Even if Mr.
Channing is making false claims, one should still be careful not to,
in turn, appear to be making false claims about him!

This problem of making up stuff really has destroyed all of chess
worldwide. All of these fake bomb threats
by Paul Truong, now fake numbers from Channing. It is just whatever
pops into their head. Truong has this
mental thing with BOMBS, and Channing likes big numbers.

The Ethics Committee needs to force the chessplayers to quit lying,
like the bar assocaition. There is no
more truth anymore, and this negative environment has litarelly
destroyed all of chess in a world chess war.

I speak the truth. Even the UN General Secretary got in on this fight.

and becasue I am an Ambassdor, nobody even tells me what the charges

$27K on 300K kids makes for 9 cents per child, not 90 cents per child.

It was actually Carol Channing. She said:

So while FIDE threatens to smuggle guns into Nevis to mout a coup
de ta, Polgar makes the truth more hard to find with these crazy
claims.
Just what is truthful anymore? Are we going to have another chess
election
and Chessplayers just start SHOOTING in Nevis?

Who can call who crazy? The Channing lies like this, I am attempted
with FIDE arrest,
and S Poglar keeps up with these ridiculous claims.

30,000 would be crazy.....

I was teaching a chess class in the Queens Public Library in Flushing
Queens New York near to the Polgar Chess Center for a number of years.
I never met even one kid who was in the Polgar Chess Program. However,
many of the kids in my class were also in the Chess in the Schools
with IM Yuri Lapshun as their teacher or were in other chess programs
around the city.

The number of 300,000 probably represents the number of all kids
combined in chess programs in the entire United States. The USCF only
has about 30,000 scholastic members. If the 300,000 claim is true,
then she has ten times more kids in her personal program than the USCF
has in the entire United States.
