"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

Tkatchouk Leads Top; Morais "B"; Alexander "C"; Carerros Lower Section of  Seafarer III - Just Look for the 3-D Whale!!
Charlotte, NC 10-8-08:  A stronger turnout of 15 of the most well fed chess players in the Charlotte area gathered at this "town hall" more commonly known as the Seafarer in order to enjoy an excellent meal, socialize and participate in Rd:3 of Seafarer III. In the Top Section, the CCC's #3 player, the pride of Moskow, Russia via Mexico! Expert Dr. Vladimir Vladimirovich Tkatchouk (2084) went to the wire but ultimately prevailed over NCCA President Randy "Wheels" Wheeless (1667) to lead with 3-0. In addition, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2000) successfully employed the Black side of the Budapest Defense  versus Nick "Check" Matelli (1614) (See Game 0763). In the "B" Section, Alain "Rastamon" Morais (1738) beat down Michael Alexander (1457) to lead with 2-0. In the Lower Section, Charlie "Tenor" Carerros (1350) K.O.ed "Smokin" Corey Frazier (1096) to lead with 3-0. Other Lower Section winners were: Joe Shirlen and Dave Peter! 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 for G60!) -
