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."

"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).

CCC Back in Action at New Location as Seafarer I Begins; The Food is Fantastic!
Charlotte, NC 7-16-08:  A contented crowd of 21 of the most friendly chessplayers in the two Carolinas navigated their way to where the big ships pull into harbor more commonly known as the Seafarer  in order to participate in Rd:1 of Seafarer I. (Many of those who participated enjoyed a delicious meal with friends and family prior to and during tournament play. Others drank beverages and coffee. Our private room is spacious, reasonably lighted and very quiet!) In the Top Section, 2008 North Carolina State Champion NM Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2240) outplayed Spartenburg, S.C. icon David K. Williams (1904) (See Game 0742), in spite of a time deficit, Expert Keith "Chuckie" Eubanks (2075) from Columbia beat down returnee to CCC competition Gary "Sandbagger" Branton (1902), NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2000) first lost one Pawn, then another, before Team Asheboro's 2008 North Carolina Scholastic Champion Jonathon McNeill (1859) tried something cute - which backfired (See Game 0741), each leading with 1-0. In addition, Kevin "Spacey" Huang (1932) split the point with a stubborn Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1709). In the "B" Section, NCCA President Randy "Wheels" Wheeless (1664) made peace with Asheboro CC President Tom "Terrific" Hales (1580) to each share the lead with Lucas with .5-.5. In the "C" Section, Nate Eerenberg (1486) won a Pawn down ending from Lee "R&Bman" Richardson (1458) to lead with 1-0. In the Lower Section, wins were submitted by Winfred "Guns" Gatlin, "Smokin" Corey Frazier, Vadims Mudrovs and Charlie Carerros each with 1-0. See "Current Crosstable" for complete results. (The facility was great! Everybody was happy! We hope more players join in the fun next week!  LF)
