| Jan-11-16 | | dumbgai: I find it interesting that Sloan plays standard openings when faced with 1. d4, as opposed to Damiano's defense against 1. e4. I know what I would play with the white pieces if facing him. |

| | offramp: From the video above Sam seems very clued-up and statesmanlike. He would probably make a good full-time politician. He cannot hope to rise too high, though, as I believe he has some "skeletons in the cupboard". Whatever happens I won't vote for him, because I'm British, so I can't. |

<"skeletons in the cupboard">
And you think that's a disqualification? (Cue all the kibitzers on the Rogoff page) |
|
| Feb-27-16 | | Caissanist: He got 14 votes in New Hampshire. So far as I know, that was the only state where he was on the ballot: http://sos.nh.gov/2016DemPresPrim.a... . |

 | | blazerdoodle: I've been away, and coming back see that he is a controversial as ever, lol. This site used to drive me up the wall! No games recently. I wonder if he still plays. |
|
| Jun-08-16 | | Caissanist: Looks like he still play but he is, after all, a 1900 player: http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlMa... . |

| | blazerdoodle: What the heck. I've been quiet on here just reading reading reading, and playing through games of course. Hope he's still playing. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | JimNorCal: The somewhat goofy smile in the photo makes me think of Ivanchuk. |
|
| Oct-02-18 | | botvinnik64: Sam the Man is posting from Batumi as we kibbutz here on CG... |
|
| Feb-12-20 | | Caissanist: Sam seems to be building a base of support in New Hampshire. This year he got at least 37 votes, up from 15 last time around. Maybe we'll see him on the debate stage around 2032 or so. |
|
| Feb-12-20 | | JimNorCal: Didn't see Sam in the vote totals list which included several candidates with 0 (so he was not missing due to a low count).
Maybe they're not listing write-ins. |
|
Feb-12-20
 | | OhioChessFan: I did a Google search of "New Hampshire vote totals" and Sam was listed with 39. |
|
| Dec-03-20 | | Gallicrow: Looking every day of his 76 years here:

 | | perfidious: Such is the price of spending one's days always tilting at the windmills. |
|
| Dec-04-20 | | Granny O Doul: More recently, Sloan sought the Democratic nomination for New York's 14th congressional district seat; just this past June, in fact. He finished behind the incumbent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, and Badrun Khan, who, respectively, garnered about 74.6, 18.2 and 5.0 percent of the vote, to Sloan's 2.2. |

 | | Fusilli: The author of the article is J.C.Hallman, the author of The Chess Artist. I loved The Chess Artist. |

 | | Check It Out: That was a very interesting article. |
|
| Mar-30-23 | | stone free or die: Last, and probably final.

Here's a blurb from the Boston Globe (July 14, 2003) when he was running for office in the USCF: <Sam Sloan, a native Virginian in New York, maintains a national chess chat site. Sloan is respected as a
researcher who knows every nook of chess, but not as a company man.> "not as a company man" is funny. |
|

 | | fredthebear: Do you have Sam confused with <althelyin' king>? |
|
Mar-02-24
| | OhioChessFan: I just discovered he's currently an active candidate for the Republican Presidential nominate. https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2... I discovered he had 7 votes in New Hampshire.

| Mar-02-24 | | Mr. President: It's early in the morning and your competition is still sleeping. |
