"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

**************************************************
**************************************************
The CCC Supreme Committee has mandated that effective immediately, the round
for the Charlotte Chess Club Wednesday evening game will now begin at 7:20pm and the new time control is now G75 (with no "time delay") or G60 if both players agree. {"Time delay" can significantly increase the realtime length of a game}. We must acknowledge the fact that the Seafarer closes at 10 pm. The CCC will meet on the next 2 Wednesday evenings but not meet on December 24 or December 31. Our final club event of the year will be Quark 9 on December 27 at the Mint Hill Public Library. I hope you will join us then. LF

Seafarer V Begins
Charlotte, NC 12-3-08:  A record low turnout of 7 members of the CCC elite royal guard defied the boycott and assembled at this grand ballroom more commonly known as the Seafarer (Just look for the 3-D Whale) in order to participate in Rd:1 of Seafarer V. In the Top Section, the CCC's #4 player, the pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2011) played crazy against Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1774) but somehow prevailed in the end (See Game 0772) to lead with 1-0. In the "C" Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1231) upset Michael "Xan" 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! -  Quark IX - Dec 27!
Fuerstman, Xin Coast Home in Quark 8
Charlotte, NC 11-29-08:  A grand total of 8 of the most amicable chess players in the Metrolina area converged upon the Mint Hill Public Library in order to participate in Quark 8. In the Top Section, the pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2011) almost eclipsed the CCC "fastest game" record after he snagged a piece against Michael Alexander (1457) in 3 moves! (1 d4 Nf6 2 Bg5 c6!? 3 e3?? Qa5!-+) in Rd:1, barely fended off the advances of an aggressive Navaneet Galagali (1051) in Rd:2 (See Game 0771) and agreed to a Grandmaster Draw in the final round versus Samuel "Xman" Xin (1969) who dispatched of Charlie "Tenor" Cararros (1437) in Rd:1 and Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1774) in Rd:2. Each finished =1st-2nd Place with 2.5-.5 and took home $60. To observe all results see "Crosstable." Fuerstman Directed, Wheeless assisted.   Quark 9 - Dec 27!
