| Sep-17-05 | | SnoopDogg: Is this guy even titled? For one I don't even think he should have been writing chess books nonetheless giving lessons. Its ironic he wrote Chess for Juniors when he is charged with sexual assault of kids. What a loser. |
|
| Nov-19-05 | | pazzed paun: IN the past people have admitted to lying and falsely accusing other people of such things |

| Feb-07-06 | | mack: Oh lovely, more good publicity for chess:

| Feb-10-06 | | lemmonrober: I took lessons from him when i was a kid in 1987-1988. He did seem like a wierdo, he lived in his parents house and he was single. thank god he did not try anything with me. |
|
| Feb-11-06 | | mack: Cripes. Are you in the database, lemmonrobber? |
|
| Feb-13-06 | | lemmonrober: am i in the database??? what do you mean? |
|
| Feb-13-06 | | waddayaplay: the chessgames.com database.... |
|
| Feb-14-06 | | lemmonrober: no im not in the database, why? |
|
| Feb-15-06 | | RookFile: I kind of remember Snyder, I think he wrote an article for chess life about 1. e4 c5 2. b3. |
|
| Apr-21-06 | | KlausJunge: Snyder is/was a self made millionaire through chess and author of the top selling chess books. Sounds like a "shakedown" big time. Read about it at: http://www.chessclub.com/chessfm/ch... |

| Jun-02-07 | | pazzed paun: the website for chess for children says his out of print books are going to come out in new editions. Does anybody know if that is true or just hype? |
|
| Oct-19-07 | | pazzed paun: does anyone know where the new second edition copies of his books can purchased at a steep discount? |
|
| Dec-20-08 | | Everyone: He wrote a book for me:
<Chess for Everyone: A Complete Guide for the Beginner> barnesandnoble synopsis:
Based on the author's bestselling 'Chess for Juniors', this book is for <everyone>! who wants to understand and enjoy playing chess. |
|
| Dec-20-08 | | Jim Bartle: Then I sure hope you purchased a copy! |
|
| Dec-26-08 | | Everyone: While there's life, there's hope. |
|
| Jan-03-09 | | Caissanist: A former student of Snyder's, by the name of Andrius Kulikauskas, offers his memories in the comments section here: http://theyshouldbedead.blogspot.co.... Kulikauskas was apparently one of the students with whom Snyder "tried something". Nonetheless, he is sympathetic and says that Snyder was a very positive influence on many young peoples' lives, including his own. What a waste. |
|
| Oct-03-09 | | wuvwater: I am so sick of seeing his reviews of his own books, under various aliases, on amazon.com. Note: If a random review on a chess book (not by Snyder) mentions one of the books from Snyder's junior series - it's a fake review. Simply check the reviewer's other reviews, and every book or most books not by Snyder, mentions Snyder junior series. Just a lame attempt to try and get people to buy this creep's books. But it doesn't matter since the books are OOP, but the reviews still remain unfortunately. |

A fugitive chess teacher and chess master, who spent more than 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor counts of unlawful sexual contact with a child, has reportedly been caught in Belize. He was wanted for parole violations and had been sought for more than a year.
...
According to a Web site called 7 News Belize, which reported his capture, Snyder was teaching chess in primary schools under the name Augustin Rios and had married a police woman. The site said that Snyder had moved to Belize in September 2008, just after his release from prison. |

| Mar-13-10 | | Roger Krueger: So how do we get the creep's name off the variation (1. e4 c5 2 b3) he so magnanimously named after himself? Folks who engage in such ridiculous, shameless self-promotion always seem to end up doing more serious dirt as well. |

 | | eternaloptimist: Finally this stupid crazy scumbag has gotten what he deserves...12 years to life in prison. He was sentenced yesterday. He didn't have enough sense to learn from his previous ~1 1/2 year sentence. Actually, I used to be a coach @ 2 chess clubs @ elementary schools in eastern Oklahoma, & 1 of the books that I used was his book "chess for juniors". It's an excellent book, & the best chess book for kids IMO. Although, if I ever get back into teaching chess in the schools again, I definitely won't use that book anymore; I will use the other book that I used to use - "a primer of chess" by capablanca. |

| | eternaloptimist: If u guys want to read the articles about him, go to the chessgames home page & look @ the left margin ~halfway down in the "chess news" section. |
|
Mar-31-10
| | eternaloptimist: Actually, I stand corrected; he served a 2 year sentence instead of ~1 1/2 year sentence. Out of curiosity, do any of u guys know of any other well known chess players that have been in jail or prison? I know that claude bloodgood & kasparov (for opposing the Russian leaders) r 2 examples of this. |
