"You don't stop playing when you get old; you get old when you stop playing!" Benjamin Franklin
Here is the only truth:  "We are the pawns of the mysterious game of chess played by God,  who moves us,  stops us,  shifts us ahead,  and soon picks us up one after the other and gathers us in the same box of  Nothing."
Omar Khayyam 1040 ad

"Chess grips its exponent, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom and independence of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected."  Albert Einstein
"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason.  Poets do not go mad;  but chess-players do".
—Chesterton, The Maniac (1908).

is doing what is impossible
 for  talent"

In the Top Section, Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1764) upset the CCC's #3 player, the pride of Mint Hill, 2009 CCC Player of the Year NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2011) after the latter player attempted and failed to win a clearly drawn ending (See Game 0776). In the "B" Section, Alain "Rastamon" Morais (1770) beat down Michael "Xan" Alexander (1460) to share the lead with 1-1. In the Lower Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1370) outlasted "Smokin" Corey Frazier (1212) to lead with 2-0. In order to observe all results see "Current Crosstable"  (The facility was great! Everybody was happy! We hope that more players will join us next Wednesday to dine, socialize and play chess!) -  Long live the CCC! -  Quark X - Feb 14!
