I FOUND YOUR ADDRESS ON THE WEB BY A TOTAL ACCIDENT...

THIS IS MR. STERIEV LJUPCO AND I DEMAND YOU TAKE OFF MY NAME FROM YOUR WEB. ( SPEAKING OF STAN VAUGHAN, IS HE A MASTER ANYWAY , CAN YOU PROVE HE CHEATED, NO !?! )

WHAT DO YOU MEAN: "EARNED", I CRUSHED MANY MASTERS ( MOSTLY EXPERTS ) IN THE CHICAGO AREA. YOU GUYS CAN'T PROVE NOTHING ABOUT MY RATING. MY YUGOSLAVIAN RATING IS WELL OVER 2100, THE HIGHEST YUG. RATING I HAD WAS 2333, I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE 2400, BUT AT LEAST 2200 ELO, YES I DO !!! AND I CAN PROVE THAT. I HAD MANY REASONS TO LOOSE ALL THOSE NINE GAMES ON PURPOSE, OK ( LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF GAMES: #1 AND #9 ) THEY WERE A NICE CREATION, UNTIL I LOST A ROOK ON PURPOSE AND FAILED TO DRAW GAME #9, THE MAIN REASON WAS: I WANTED TO DISAPPOINT SOMEBODY WHO HAD HURT ME A LOT IN MY LIFE, TO GET EVEN WITH, I DON'T CARE ABOUT USCF RATING ANYWAY, MY YUGO RATING IS NOW: 2175 ( USCF 2275 ), AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

AFTER THE NATO TERRORISTS STOP BOMBING YUGOSLAVIA I WILL GO BACK THERE AND PLAY SOME TOURNAMENTS AS I DO AT LEAST 2 TIMES IN A YEAR. LONG ONES ONLY. I USUALLY PLAY MANY GAMES.

THANK GOD I FOUND YOU BY ACCIDENT, SO I CAN STRAIGHTEN EVERYTHING OUT!

P.S. AND YES, I HATE USCF, BUT I'M GLAD MY RATING IS DOWN, THIS WAY I CAN CRUSH WITH MY EYES CLOSED ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY GROUP AND WIN SOME MONEY, ANYTIME I'LL FEEL LIKE IT, AND BROTHER I HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO DO IT NOW AFTER THE STUPID USCF PEOPLE TOOK MY RATING DOWN, I'M GLAD IT'S DOWN, I'M ALSO GLAD MY YUGOSLAVIAN RATING IS ON THE MASTER'S LEVEL, AND YES I PLAYED MANY FM'S, I CAN SEND YOU SOME GAMES, IF YOU PAY ME FOR S&H, ON A DISK, AGAINST COMPUTERS AS WELL I PLAY BETTER, TOTAL PRICE IS 10$ !@!! OVER 500 GAMES AND 500 PUZZLES I CREATED !@!!

GOOD-BYE DUDE, AND YES I'LL BE ON TV VERY SOON WITH MY NEW CHESS COMPANY, ON A TALK SHOW, AND NO, I WILL NEVER HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE USCF FOLKS !!!

VERY SERIOUSLY: MR. CM/(GM) STERIEV LUPCO

NO MATTER WHAT YOU OR THE USCF THINK, U GUYS ARE REALLY WRONG, I LOVE CHESS AND I SUPPORT CHESS AND YOU SHOULD THANK ME FOR BEING THE: CHESS-AMBASSADOR OF THE WORLD, I SUPPORT THE CHESS INTO OLYMPICS, I HAVE MY OWN NEWSPAPER CHESS-COLUMN, ON MY FORMER WEEKLY ELVIS RADIO SHOW I TALKED ABOUT CHESS A LOT, AND YES I PERSONALLY WON FEW BLITZ GAMES AGAINST IM/GM PALOS OSMAN, 10 MINUTES BLITZ, I WON TWO, LOST TWO AND DREW FOUR OF THEM... BUT I AM NOT A 100% PLAYER IN ANY BLITZ MODE!

YOU ARE NO JUDGE TO JUDGE OTHERS MAN !!!!!!!

I am sorry but I cannot take your name off of my chess web site.

You have earned a place in chess infamy, a name which will never be forgotten in the annals of US Chess.

You somehow managed to get into the US Junior Closed Championship, preventing somebody more deserving from playing, and then you lost all your games on purpose, you say.

For this you have made a name for yourself, a name which will never be forgotten by chess players everywhere.

I AM VERY RESPECTED BY MOST OF THE CHICAGO AND POLISH AND YUGOSLAVIAN PLAYERS. I HOPE MY NAME WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

I GOT THERE LEGALLY AND THE USCF ACCEPTED ME. I LOST ON PURPOSE TRUE, AND I NEVER WANTED TO GO THE TOURNAMENT ANYWAY, I WAS FORCED TO...

ASK THE SPONSOR, THE GUYS FROM NORMAL ILLINOIS, I CALLED THEM AND I TOLD THEM I AM NOT HAPPY WITH ME GOING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP, I AM HAPPY I LOST ALL THOSE NINE GAMES, MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT AROUND THE WORLD. I'M VERY HAPPY AND I DON'T REGRET ANYTHING AT ALL MR. SLOAN.

I WAS FORCED TO GO BY SOME OTHER PEOPLE I HATE NOW AND FOR EVER, I WILL PROVE TO YOU ALL UNBELIEVERS IN THE FUTURE MY REAL 2200+ RATING, YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE. I DON'T CARE IF MY NAME IS ON YOUR WEB-SITE OR NOT, YOU ARE ALL WRONG AND GOD KNOWS IT ALL !!!

THE CHESS-PLAYERS EVERYWHERE WILL FOR EVER BE GRATEFUL TO ME AND THEY WILL ALL RESPECT ME ( MOST OF THEM ANYWAY ). I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR SOME USCF. BECAUSE I'M THE FIRST WORLD'S AMBASSADOR OF CHESS.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND AT LEAST 50% OF IT ALL, YOU ARE NO GOD TO JUDGE OTHERS, SIR...

THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN OUT...

YOU all HAVE A NICE LIFE sir...

AND ONCE AGAIN: THINK WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT YOU ARE ALL WRONG, YOU AND THE USCF PEOPLE. ONLY YOU !!!!!!! OK!?!

SPEAKING IF STAN VAUGHAN, I DON'T KNOW THE GUY, ALL I HEARD ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE HAS HIS OWN CHESS COMPANY, AND YES I THINK HE IS A MASTER, BUT A GRAND-MASTER, NO WAY, HIS USCF RATING IS OVER 2200, THAT'S OK !

WELL, THAT'S ALL MAN !!!

AND GOOD BYE!!!

He created a fake rating, got in the 1997 US Junior Closed Championship and then played beginner's moves. He lost all of his games and finished with 0-9 in a tournament where almost every other player was over 2400.

Because of him, major changes had to be made in the way the US Junior Championship was conducted. A lot of promising juniors have had their careers hurt by his malicious acts.

Dear Mr. Sloan. I recently read the letters between you and Ljupco published on the Internet from April of 99. Both my brother and I went to high school with Ljupco, and he IS NOT the player he says he is. He does a lot of correspondence chess, and that's why his rating is so high. He also cheats using a computer. We have known him through college, and he was always known as a cheater, even in high school. How he ever got into the 1997 junior championships is beyond me, but we all know that he is truly a FRAUD. He falsifies information and illegally uses the mail for his fraud, a federal crime.
