"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).

NEWS & VIEWS 8-28-08
Fuerstman Leads
Top; Wheeless "B"; Alexander Lower Section of Seafarer II
Charlotte, NC 8-27-08: A low turnout
of only 12 very
comfortable and well fed mental jousters continued to defy the boycott
and reported to this well appointed banquet hall more commonly
known as the Seafarer (Just
look for the 3-D Whale!) where they
enjoyed a delicious dinner before and during Rd:2 of Seafarer II. (In
order to placate the management, the time control has been changed to Game 60! so we can be out by 10:00pm! This will allow more
young players and early risers to participate). In the Top Section, the CCC's #6 player, the pride of Mint
Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2000) botched the Black
side of an English and ultimately issued a Draw to Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1709) to lead with 1.5-.5. In
the "B" Section, NCCA President Randy "Wheels" Wheeless (1664) bested Andrew
"Lefty" Turner (1438) to lead with 1-0. In the Lower Section, Michael Alexander (1395) beat down Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1287) to
lead with 2-0.
Other Lower Section winners were: "Smokin" Corey Frazier and Charlie "Tenor" Carerros. See "Current
Crosstable" for complete results. (The
facility was great! Everybody was happy! We hope more players join us
next week for G60! -
