"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

Skyland VI Begins
Charlotte, NC 9-9-09:  A normal turnout of 14 of the most conscientious calculators in the Carolinas converged upon this think tank more commonly known as Skyland Family Restaurant in order to participate in Rd:1 of Skyland VI. (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!!) In the Top Section, the CCC's #3 player, the pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2005) was summarily routed by superhero Clarke "Kent Brosi (1819) who shares the lead with renown traveler from Wake Forest Medical School in Winston-Salem, Dr. Cheng Chu (1976) who outlasted Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1842) to each lead with 1-0. In the "B" Section, Josh "GTO" Balogh (1700) split the point with Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1700) each sharing the lead with .5-.5. In the "C" Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1514) emerged victorious against "Smokin" Corey Frazier to lead with 1-0. In the Lower Section, Lee "Roger" Moore (1218) vanquished Copeland "Copie" Blackwell (1268) to lead with 1-0. 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! -
Fuerstman Wins Quark XII
Mint Hill, NC 9-5-09:  A anticipated light turnout of 7 Labor Day
weekend warriors gathered at the Mint Hill Public Library in order to participate in Quark XII. After being held to a Draw in Rd:1 by 11 year old Mark "the Bomb" Biernacki (1305!) (See Game 0819), NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2005) bounced back with victories over Vadims "the Happy Latvian" Mudrovs (1297) in Rd:2 and Joseph "the Detonator" Biernacki (1597) in Rd:3 (See Game 0820) to finish clear 1st Place with 2.5-.5 and pocket $70. Equal 2nd-4th with 2-1 were Joseph "the Detonator" Biernacki, Copeland "Copie" Blackwell and Ron "the Dutchman" Breukelaar  each taking home $12. For complete results see "Crosstable"  Fuerstman Directed - Next Quark coming Soon! Hey, WE had fun...
