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).

"YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP!!!"

Charlotte, NC 1-23-08:  A record turnout of 24 of the most proficient board gamesmen from Mecklenburg county and points beyond converged upon this headquarters of the American Anarchists Party more commonly known as Quaker Steak & Lube in order to participate in Rd:4 of Quaker Steak Club I. In the Top Section, the CCC's #2 player, the pride of Crouse, NC, 2007 CCC Player of the Year NM Frankie "Bluffer" Newton (2291) returned with a vengeance whereupon in time trouble he survived the stubborn defense of NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2002) (See Game 0725) to grab a share of the lead with Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (2010) whose prepared variation of the Fromm Gambit upset the CCC's #3 player Expert Shawn "Arlo" Pealer (2082) each now with 2.5-1.5. In the "B" Section, Derek "Cats" Smith (1736) snagged a Pawn and was only able to Draw the CCC's 2007 Class "E" Player of the Year Dominique "the Dominator" Myers (1830) but still leads with 3-1. Meanwhile, Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1725) used just enough kryptonite to get by mild mannered reporter for the Daily Planet Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1751), Marty "Fritz" Katz (1743) beat down Andras "the Mad Hungarian" Bader (1735), Peter "the Mad Greek" Giannatos (1630) slowed down Lee "R&Bman" Richardson (1465) and Dr. Gil "Sherlock" Holmes (1739) made peace with Slobodan "the Proud Serb" Sinanovic (1795). In the "C" Section, Ankit "Mehendra" Jivan (1592) survived a lively encounter with Dave "2chip" Eadie (1549) to lead with 3-1. In the Lower Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1225) defeated Dr. Ron "Feet" Futerman (1082) to lead with 4-0. Other Lower Section winners were: "Smokin" Corey Frazier and Copeland "Copie" Blackwell. All results may be observed on the current "Crosstable."  Our next Saturday 3 round event is March 15. E-mail lelandfue@yahoo.com to have your name placed on the list of players who "Intend to Participate."

In the Top Section, the CCC's #10 player, the pride of Stallings, NC, Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (2014) dispatched of Ken "the Great" Ivens (1736) in Rd:1, split the point with Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1795) in Rd:2 and used just enough kryptonite in Rd:3 to defeat mild mannered reporter Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1764) to finish clear 1st Place with 2.5-.5 and take home $80. Clear 2nd Place was Sinanovic with 2-1 winning $40. In order to observe all results see (Crosstable). (Fuerstman  Directed)  See you at Quaker Steak VI on Mar 15! (Look for Ad in Chess Life TLA's)
