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."

of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected."

Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go
mad; but chess-players do".

Seafarer IV
Begins - Our
100th 5 Round Event Since Wendy's
I * 2-10-99!
Charlotte, NC 10-29-08: An average turnout of 14 of the most congenial chess
players in the Metrolina area forwent watching the World Series and
instead reported to this mental jousting stadium more commonly
known as the Seafarer
(Just
look for the 3-D Whale) in order to participate in Rd:1 of Seafarer IV. In the Top Section,
the CCC's #6 player and pride of Mint
Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2000) launched a
blistering assault upon the
CCC's #3 player and pride of
Moskow, Russia via Mexico! Expert Dr. Vladimir
"The
Impaler" Tkatchouk (2093)
but was only able to Draw (by
the skin of his teeth!) (See Game 0767) to share the
lead each with .5-.5.
In the "B" Section, Alain "Rastamon" Morais (1727) outlasted outgoing
NCCA President Randy "Wheels" Wheeless (1653) to lead with 1-0. (Check
out Randy's article in the October issue of Chess Life on p. 30!)
In addition, the pride of Salisbury, Greg
"Hornblower" Hall (1795) split
the point with Derek "Cats" Smith (1733). Leading the "C" Section, Nathanial "E's" Eerenberg (1482) welcomed Charlie
"Tenor" Carerras (1437) to the "big time" while Winfred "Guns"
Gatlin (1231) upset
Michael "Sandy" Alexander (1504) to lead the Lower Section with 1-0. 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 week to dine, socialize and play chess!)
- Long live the CCC! LF
