| Aug-23-15 | | savagerules: Is Stan Vaughn currently living in a mental institution in Las Vegas? If not, he should be. What a putz this guy is! If I create my own bogus chess federation I pledge my rating will stay under 4000 and I will put Carlsen at 3100 out of the kindness of my heart. |

| Mar-28-16 | | Petrosianic: <offramp>: <Here is the latest top 10 of the WCF. From http://www.wcfchess.org/wp/wcf-rati... Wesley So is sixth. Vaughan's rating has shot up. There are no Russians. 1. Stan Vaughan 4412 USA WCF Grand Master
2. Bobby Fischer (deceased 2008) 2897 Iceland WCF Grand Master> In real life, Vaughan is rated 2104. So if we pro-rate the two systems, with Vaughan's rating at 152% of Fischers, that means Vaughan considers Fischer to have been 1381 strength, USCF. And that's at his <peak>, mind you! |

| Sep-15-16 | | dumbgai: Stan Vaughan (Trump supporter?) attempted to ask Donald Trump a series of questions on Twitter, but sent them to a parody account instead (and with bad grammar, to boot): https://twitter.com/StanVaughan1/st... He also seems to be a firm supporter of the Confederate flag, even though he lives in (and represents) a state that was not a part of the CSA: https://twitter.com/StanVaughan1/st... |

http://burundi.post-stamps.com/wp-c...
He appears on the 1020F stamp of the République de Burundi.
Other people honoured by that fatuous country are:
1120F Emanuel Lasker
3000F Paul Morphy
3000F Alexandra Kosteniuk.
How much confidence should the financial world place in the economy of a country whose postal service believes the delusional witterings of an egoist like Stan Vaughan? NONE!!! |

 | | Fusilli: Wow. I had never heard of this guy until today. <Caissanist> <WCF’s registered trademark rights to “The World Chess Championship”.> Trademark rights? Hilarious. I'd love to see Vaughan sue FIDE over it. |
|
| Oct-03-17 | | Caissanist: Sadly, the World Chess Federation is no more. wcfchess.org now redirects to the World Chess Hall of Fame, an organization which won a lawsuit (by default) which the WCF had brought against it several years ago. Google searches for "World Chess Federation" now all take you to the FIDE website. Sad to see greatness unrecognized in this way. |

|
| Feb-01-19 | | Granny O Doul: I imagine NM here means National Master, the nation being the USA. The other player is probably best known (aside perhaps from this game) for a meteoric rating increase that qualified him for the 1997 US Junior Championship, wherein he sadly failed to match his recent form. |

| Sep-08-19 | | Wanda Nida: Lupco lost first game. In order to make time he played it from memory. He screwed up the position & lost major pieces in the opening. He asked Stan to allow him to take back a move but Stan true to his nature flatly rejected it & on October 13 1999, complained on groups.google how Lupco is no longer member of Stan's WCF. I don't know why Stan did it. That did not merit worldwide attention. They were good friend until Lupco asked him to take the move back. Lupco won the other game but all the time, throughout the match Stan kept on telling Lupco to resign because Lupco's position was "lost!" Wow, go figure... |

The page also details the "meteoric rating increase" I mentioned a few posts above this.

| Sep-29-20 | | Wanda Nida: thank you for the reply, even though it makes no sense at all... he had draw offers, he did not accept them and that is huge mystery. that steriev game lasted over 40 moves, you took that shyt from sam sloan's garbage website; sam never included his other games. why should one suffer defamation 23+ year later, he was below 20 when this happened; sloan published his private email to him without letting him know he will publish it to the world; that was unprepared material with grammar errors and all sorts of errors, it was not an open letter; his playing prowess greatly improved afterwards as proven: http://encyclopediasupreme.org/0000... |
