"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).

"Adversity reveals character" Anon
  "Talent is doing easily what is difficult for others, but genius
is doing what is impossible
 for  talent"
   Amiel
"the chess playing of a master ties him to the game, fetters his mind and shapes it to a certain extent so that his internal freedom and ease, no matter how strong he is, must inevitably be affected."  Spinoza
"One bad move nullifies 40 good moves."  Horowitz
"The older I grow, the more I value my pawns."  Keres
"Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all."  Fischer
"I thinks it's almost definite that the game is a draw theoretically."  Fischer

Fuerstman Leads Top; Gordon "B"; Balogh "C"; Frazier Lower Section of Skyland III
Charlotte, NC 6-17-09:  A stronger turnout of 15 of the most competitive calculators in the Carolinas converged upon this think tank more commonly known as the Skyland Family Restaurant, in order to participate in Rd:4 of Skyland III. (CCC members got very comfortable sitting in the padded booths and full size tables and chairs while being catered to by a team of friendly waitresses. Most enjoyed a generously portioned delicious home style meal for a ridiculously low price ($5.95!), drank fresh hot coffee and other beverages, analyzed on our demo board and occasionally monitored the giant flat screen TV with the sound turned down; open 24 hours!!) All CCC members were pleasantly surprised by the visit of a number of strong players to include Greensboro Favorite Son Jacob "Dylan" Parrish (1954) who played some skittles! In the Top Section, in spite of the fact that he was severely waddled upon by upstart Bobby "Duck" Waddell (1938) (See Game 0803), the CCC's #3 player, the pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2023) still leads with 2-2. In addition, David K. Williams from Spartanburg, SC split the point with newcomer Dr. Cheng Chu (1820) from Winston-Salem. In the "B" Section, Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1679) won a nice King and Pawn ending from Michael "Xan" Alexander (1451) to lead with 2.5-1.5. In addition, Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1793) schooled upstart Josh "GTO" Balogh (1514) who still leads the "C" Section with 2.5-1.5. In the Lower Section, in spite of the fact that he lost to returnee to CCC competition Copeland "Copie" Blackwell (1283), Corey Frazier (1319) still leads with 2-2. In order to observe all results see "Current Crosstable" - The facility was great and everybody was happy! We hope that more players will join us next Wednesday to dine, socialize and play chess!) -  Everyone is welcome... Long live the CCC! -
