"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

Seafarer Remains Home of CCC
$1,000 Match! - Fuerstman vs. Branton
windyCCC NEWS & VIEWS 9-4-08windy
Fuerstman Leads Top; Mouse "A"; Wheeless "B"; Eerenberg "C"; Alexander Lower Section of Seafarer II
Charlotte, NC 9-3-08:  A slightly stronger turnout of 14 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 prior to  and during Rd:3 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) played a rarely seen Pawn sac variation of the Botvinnik - Panov Attack versus Team Salisbury's Greg "Horns" Hall (1797) which was littered with errors?! (Position after 15 Rc4!) When the smoke cleared, Black was the exchange up,   but unfortunately overlooked checkmate (See Game 0753)  allowing Fuerstman to lead with 2.5-.5. In addition, all CCC players welcome new member Expert Vladimir Tkatchouk (2084) who defeated compatriot Vadims Mudrovs (1534) (See Game 0754). In the "A" Section, representing all of the frightened mice in the Charlotte area who don't show up to compete at the CCC, Mickey Mouse (1999) was awarded his 3rd consecutive Bye to lead with 3-0!! LOL - (Hey guys; you're missing out on some great food and lively conversation!) In the "B" Section, NCCA President the Honorable Charles R. "Randy" Wheeless (1664) beat down Bryan "Beach Boy" Wilson (1743) to lead with 2-0. In the "C" Section, Nathaniel "E's" Eerenberg (1486) sold a few vowels to Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1287) to lead with 1-1. In the Lower Section, Michael Alexander (1395) outplayed Corey Frazier (1059) to lead with 3-0. Other Lower Section winners were Lee "Roger" Moore. See "Current Crosstable" for complete results. (The facility was great! Everybody was happy! We hope more players join us next week for G60! -
