When Tom Dorsch ran for election in 1996, the USCF already had a
contract with Interplay signed by Al Lawrence. Tom Dorsch was opposed
to the Interplay contract and campaigned against it.
Later, after Dorsch was elected, the Interplay contract because an
issue for another reason. Interplay was delinquent in its payments and
it seemed likely that Interplay was not going to pay. Yet, the USCF
carried the amount as an accounts receivable, thereby inflating the
USCF profit and loss statement. I do not know if Interplay ever paid
or not.
Tom Dorsch was no longer on the board when Doris Barry brought in
Games Parlor. This happened first at the meeting on May 21, 2000. This
is the same meeting where I introduced Rusudan Goletiani who had just
arrived on a refugee flight from Georgia one week earlier. You can
read the transcript at

In between Interplay and Games Parlor, we had a deal with ICC. It was
a very good deal, because they advertised us on their popular website
plus paid us money. We exchanged that for the Games Parlor deal, which
was the opposite because we had to advertise them plus pay them money.
The Games Parlor deal was such a bad deal that John Fernandez among
others suggested that there might have been bribery and kickbacks
involved. The Games Parlor deal did not make any sense at all. It was
made worse when Frank Niro extended the Games Parlor deal by signing a
three year contract without telling the board, knowing that the board
would be opposed. The three-year contract was uncovered by Joe Wagner,
who turns out to have been one of the best board members although he
was not popular at the time and was not re-elected. It has been
estimated that the Games Parlor contract cost the USCF $100,000, but
this is just a wild guess because nobody really knows. What is known
for sure is that the USCF lost two million dollars during this period.
If I ever get elected to the board, I intend to try to launch an
investigation into this. I will seek a determination of whether it was
actual malfeasance, bribery and corruption or rather simply stupidity
that caused the USCF to lose this two million dollars.

That could be characterized as throwing good money after bad.

I would not blink with my eyes if it was as we call it in europe: "friends
among friends".
To say it polite.
Because i know those folks a bit.
They are no good.
Some real weird things happen there in and around USCL/Gamesparlor.
When persons who do not care a #@($ for chess, nor can't play chess, run a
chess server, just for the money, then you know something will go wrong.
Are they paying out prices nowadays that people win?
