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

Newton Leads Top; Myers "B"; Obey "C"; Frazier Lower Section of Wendy's 91  Chess Central displayed new books and equipment for sale! - Quaker Steak this Saturday! -
Charlotte, NC 10-24-07:
  A particularly light turnout of only 16 of the most loyal members of the CCC Royal Guard converged upon this fortified compound more commonly known as Wendy's in order to parcipate in Rd:4 of Wendy's 91. In the Top Section, the CCC's #2 player, the pride of Crouse, NC, 2006 Player of the Year NM Frankie "Bluffer" Newton (2271) used almost every second of his time before his adversary, 13 year old phenom Samuel "Xman" Xin (1935) tipped his King to lead with a perfect 4-0. Meanwhile, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2032) blundered away an overwhelming position to Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1987) (See Game 0706), Expert Todd "Squirrelbreath" Trower (2040) squeeked by Expert Shawn "Arlo" Pealer (2084) (See Game 0708) and Michael "Bolton" Kliber (1986) clobbered Gary "NightCrawler" Newsom (1999). In the "B" Section, 15 year old phenom Dominique "the Dominator" Myers (1781) split the point with Peter "the Greek" Giannatos (1609) to lead with 3.5-.5. In addition, Derek "Cats" Smith (1720) used just enough kryptonite to upset mannered reporter Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1770). In the Lower Section, "Smokin" Corey Frazier leads with 3-0. Other Lower Section winners were: new member James X McLean (Unr). All results may be observed on the current  "Crosstable."

Pealer, Fuerstman Share Top Honors at Quaker Steak IV
windyCharlotte NC 10-27-07:  A record low turnout of only 4 brave  holdouts from the boycott participated in Quaker Steak IV. (Some played in the SC Championship; others played last weekend) In the Top Section, Expert Shawn "Arlo" Pealer (2084) knocked off Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1609) in Rd:1, used kryptonite on mild mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1770) in Rd:2 and agreed to a quick GM Draw with NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2032) in the final round to score 2.5-.5 and share =1st-2nd Place with Fuerstman who defeated Brosi in Rd:1 (See Game 0707) and Ozherelyev in  Rd:2 each winning $30. In order to observe all results see (Crosstable).
