	Stan Vaughan vs. United States Chess Federation
		Because I was the only member of the original group who had had experience with other USCF affiliated chess groups outside this state, I was chosen to draft by-laws for operation of the organization, which would then be submitted for approval by the officers of the local organization and by the United States Chess Federation.
