BREAKING NEWS: SHAHADE SUES US CHESS

The shoe has dropped on US Chess for their alleged discrimination against 2x US Women's Champion, Jennifer Shahade. For full disclosure, she was my editor at Chess Life Online and I interviewed her last summer. So, I am clearly not unbiased here but I do know from the inside scoop that she was treated very badly by US Chess. They sued her first, frivolously in order to try to get her to be silent. Well, the day has come where US Chess needs to examine the actions of their board members especially, Executive Board President, Randy Bauer. There are quite a few good people on the board but to support the fact that they forcibly pushed out Shahade from her Director position, they are all complicit. Please read Tarjei Svensen's article from last year that details some of the discrimination that she faced. 

Here is the press release with more to come shortly:
