STAN VAUGHAN
(born 1956) United States of America

[what is this?]

Born 1956 in Kentucky, United States.1 Stan Vaughan is a USCF rated expert from Las Vegas, Nevada, best known as the longtime world champion of the World Chess Federation. According to the now-defunct WCF website, the organization was founded in 1992 by Bobby Fischer as a vehicle for defending his world champion title against Boris Spassky, and the title then passed to Vaughan when Fischer retired in 1994. As of November 2015, the WCF website lists Vaughan not only as world champion but the highest rated player, with a current rating of 4412 (Fischer is listed as second at 2897, despite having died in 2008).

Despite sporadic lawsuits and media appearances by Vaughan, the WCF's claims that the organization is a competitor to FIDE, as well as its recognition of Vaughan as world champion and highest rated player, were not widely accepted. As of 2017, the website no longer exists.

  HeMateMe: they got any brick and mortar chess/checker/backgammon clubs in British Columbia?

<HeMateMe>

Well, yes and no, and thanks for asking.

There are no checker/backgammon clubs of any kind in BC. There are however chess clubs in "buildings" some of which are built out of "brick and mortar", but there are no stand alone single use brick and mortar chess clubs.

That is, there are no chess clubs that aren't cannibalizing an already extant and purposed brick and mortar building. My home "chess club" is actually a "STARBUCKS" for example...

The more august BC chess clubs meet in semi-respectable brick and mortar venues. I used to play in the Langley chess club meetings which are held in a cavernous brick and mortarer that could accommodate 100 players. That was a great club. I think it was an actual mortuary, but I was afraid to ask...

The club I play at now in my BC home town is so punk that it isn't even listed on this handy brick and mortar list here: http://www.chessbc.ca/club.html. My home town is so dink that the town itself isn't even listed on maps eh. If you need directions there you have to wait for a helpful cow to wander by. They're usually happy to help steer you in the right direction.

However, in my home town the BCCF and CCF still recognize my tournament scores as contributing to an "actual chess rating" which may be "actual" but it is not built out of brick and mortar. As far as I know....

The most (only) strong chess tournament in BC is the "Keres Memorial" held in Vancouver. I have never played in it, though they usually offer "minnow sections" for various species of fish. The main event purse is solid, however, so we usually get a few strong masters enter from Washington State, so long as they are willing to work for scale.

<Paul Keres> played the last tournament of his life in Vancouver, BC. Probably this was played in a brick and mortarer.

Aug-04-22  stone free or die: <jfq> I've been mulling over your question, just to let you know. It's a good one - but I'm afraid I don't have the best answer.

Obviously.

But let me continue brooding on it a bit.

As far as <whiteshark>'s reiteration:

<whiteshark: The question that still went unanswered is:<What's his current rating?>>

We do have this chess.com rating:

Aug-06-22  Noah Parking: Sounds like a family spat.

Observers now know that Stan (Stevie Ray perhaps) Vaughan was the greatest, ratings aside. Ratings are just numbers. Numbers change.

I say Starbucks is for show -- it's too damned expensive just for coffee. Sippers must save the homeless whales or something to make Starbucks worthwhile. Will they accept food stamps from all this ridiculous joeflation?

WARNING: Stan Vaughan worked for the US Postal Service!

You have hit the nail right on the head:

<Sippers must save the homeless whales or something to make Starbucks worthwhile. Will they accept food stamps from all this ridiculous joeflation?>

Interestingly, in the Fraser Valley Starbucks backed off on their whale safety mongering when they hosted a talk by the "Rainbow Society."

The Society talk collapsed mid stream after a farm-kid chant took off in the audience:

"CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES AND USE THEM TO BEAT THE WHALES TO DEATH WITH."

Needless to say, futher live whale booster events no longer challenged local Star Bucker patrons. They still had to pay for the overpriced coffee though.

Aug-09-22  Honest Adin Reviews: stan vaughan is no longer defanding his WCC title, so that's good since they were all good club players but not masters, but they got paid at least 5000$ for the match.
Aug-10-22  Noah Parking: <jessicafischerqueen> I tried to respond to your post yesterday but was silenced. Now I am finally out of CG jail <RESTRICTED KIBITZING>. They locked me up without an appearance before the judge. Certainly would like to know who my accuser is and what I've done wrong. I swear I’ve never laid a hand on anyone on this site!

Will hurry off to Starbucks to celebrate my freedom before CG throws me back in jail <RESTRICTED KIBITZING>.

  perfidious: It has long been regarded as, at best, a dubious strategy for defendants to take the stand in their own behalf.
Aug-10-22  Honest Adin Reviews: noah parking, let's celebrate our freedom by getting drunk and talk about evils of abortion what chessgames.com really hates and bans you for life..

taking stand on your own behalf is good as long as it's not felony case, but if you know how to play the ball and beat the legal system, fine...

remember, usually, do not fight the (legal) system, you beat the system by playing along with it!

For once we agree. Let's not make it a thing :)

Jan-04-24  Petrosianic: It's a big mystery how a 2103 USCF player could be rated 4412 in another place.

Well, actually that's not the mystery. The mystery is how Fischer could only be 2897 in that same place. If WCF ratings are so inflated that Vaughan could be 4412, Fischer should be about 6000. Even higher if he were alive.
