Some people say that the USCF is loosing money and providing less service to members. We don't know that USCF will lose money this year, though it is possible. We are a very seasonal business, and a nine month loss which includes our four worst months does not prove there will be a twelve month loss.

Since its financial low point in the summer of 2003, USCF has shown a cumulative surplus of over $500,000.

As for "providing less to its members,"

In 2003, most tournaments took a month or more to rate. Today most are submitted online and are rated in less than a day.

In 2003, rating report errors had to be corrected manually and the office had a backlog of more than a year in making these corrections. Today not only are the corrections done quickly, but the opponents of the corrected players are also appropriately corrected.

I like his pithy introductions to each game. Here’s a few taken at random.

Game: Yates – Gunsberg, Chester, 1914

The time spent in effecting a pawn capture of doubtful value often allows the enemy pressure to become irrestible. This is the painful lesson to be learnt from the very beautiful game that follows.

Game: Alekhine – Euwe, World Championship Match, 1935

A most tense struggle, in which the interest never flags, in spite of one or two missed opportunities, due perhaps to the importance of the occasion.

Game: Lasker – Rubenstein, St. Petersburg, 1914

There are rook endings in which the advantage of one or two pawns is not sufficient to ensure victory. But here is an endgame, apparently simple and, after Black’s 58th. move, with equal material on each side, in which a seemingly unimportant feature turns the scale in White’s favor.

Game: Burn – Tarrasch, Ostend, 1907

After lengthy, consolidating maneuvers on either side, White succeeds in winning a well-merited pawn, after which Black’s resistance quickly collapses. On the whole, a game won in simple but eloquent fashion.

This looks much better on the right than on the left. This is from the 4/24/07 post.

This is a good time for me. I wonder how this is going to do this.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

This is an example of a medium image that is right. Look for TEXT-ALIGN: right. Center does not seem to work.
