When the bookseller, Greg Yanez of Chess4Less and the London Chess Centre found out that Trice had accused the Chess4Less bookstore of stocking and selling the fraudulent 'My 61 Memorable Games' on chessgames.com for upwards of $300, he immediately sought out Mr. Bill Goichberg. Mr. Goichberg and Greg, approached Trice to verify that in fact, the Ed Trice from the chessgames.com blog, and the man sitting in front of them with a stack of 'My 61 Memorable Games' were in fact the same person. After Trice acknowledged that he was in fact the same person, Greg Yanez demanded to know why Trice had posted a clearly obvious false and defaming statement, accusing the Chess4Less bookstore of stocking and selling the fraudulent 'My 61 Memorable Games'. Trice offered to remove the post, if only he could borrow Greg's computer. By this point, Greg was fuming and asked Mr. Goichberg what could be done.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Mr. Goichberg informed Trice that he wasn't allowed to set up and sell at the tournament. Trice demanded to see an 'exclusivity' contract saying he couldn't. At this point Mr. Goichberg informed Trice that not only did he not have to show him a contract, he could have security remove him from the hotel, and banned from returning. Trice then put the stack of 'My 61 Memorable Games' below the table, and out of sight, and then proceeded in a feeble attempt to save face by playing skittles for while. Trice was not seen back at the tournament on Sunday.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Greg did mention that Trice seemed unstable, and appeared to actually want to fight! Trice literally came from around the table and that at one point, Greg and Trice were almost nose to nose.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Greg has also agreed to send me an email with further details of what actions Chess4Less is considering for the defamatory libel on the chessgames.com website (I’ve already mentioned how poorly the sight is actually monitored, and that Daniel Freeman appears to be the most loyal man money can buy!). Needless to say, I pointed out to Greg to ‘Get In Line’!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Best Wishes!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Edward Labate<br /><br />National Chess Master<br /><br />Boardman, OH 44512Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272015064476224653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035964.post-1141172644383686492006-02-28T18:24:00.000-06:002006-02-28T18:24:00.000-06:00Rodney,Thank You!Rodney,<BR/>Thank You!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035964.post-1141158711459553302006-02-28T14:31:00.000-06:002006-02-28T14:31:00.000-06:00I am a 69 year old American who followed Mr Bobby ...I am a 69 year old American who followed Mr Bobby Fischer most of my life.I am sad to be a American when i see what our government did to you.Chess should be political free.Mr Fischer you are still the best Chess player the world has ever seen.I Salute you sir.Anything i can do for you just call or e-mail.<BR/>One of your admirers.<BR/>Rodney E LaMay<BR/>1626-337-0178<BR/>P/S A Chess Player of 55 yearsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11035964.post-1132756149651980952005-11-23T08:29:00.000-06:002005-11-23T08:29:00.000-06:00Hey this blog is not about columbus health insuran...Hey this blog is not about <A HREF="http://www.low-costhealth-insurance.com" REL="nofollow">columbus health insurance</A>.
