What happened was the Ethics Committee by a vote of 6-3 found that
Tanner had manipulated his own rating and voted to reprimand him
(only).
Then Goichberg made a (secret) deal with Tanner that if he would
resign from the board and from all his FIDE Positions, which included
his position as USA Zone President, no further action would be taken
against him, such as revoking his TD Certification.
Tanner accepted this deal and went back to Arizona and nothing further
has been heard from him.
However, I understand from other sources that upon his return to
Arizona, once the schools where he was running chess cl***** found out
about this, he lost all his teaching jobs and those jobs were given to
other chess teachers. I have heard that Tanner is completely out of
chess now.
I must say that Tanner behaved like a gentleman throughout this entire
affair. He never uttered even one word of recrimination or anything
like that. The first time I have ever heard anybody say that this was
some sort of political vendetta or anything like that was the
inappropriate posting by Phil Innes today.
