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."

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

of
Wendy's
92 - Round @ 7:30pm!
Charlotte, NC 12-05-07: A grand total of
25 of the most
loyal members of the CCC royal guard defied the strike and crossed the
picket line at this non-union chess facility more commonly known as Wendy's in
order to participate in Wendy's
92. In the Top Section, the CCC's #10 player, the
pride of Stallings, NC, Expert Patrick
"Fabio" McCartney's (2006)
affinity for things Polish encouraged him to play the Sokolsky versus
Michael "Bolton" Kliber (1982) which resulted in the former clobbering the latter to share the
Title with the CCC's #8 player, the pride of Mint Hill, NC, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2000) whose Alekhine
Defense resulted in a nice win against Slobodan "the Mad Serb"
Sinanovic (1795) (See Game 0715) each with 4-1 winning $50. In
addition, 13 year old phenom Samuel
"Xman" Xin (1920) was
victorious in his first ever encounter with 15 year old phenom Dominique "the Dominator" Myers
(1830). In the "B" Section,
with seconds left in the 2nd game of their match, Dr. Gil "Sherlock" Holmes (1786) was forced to resort to
perpetual check against mild mannered reporter Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1770) but still finished
clear 1st Place with 2.5-.5. In
the "C" Section, Octavius "0-0" Obey (1530) only needed a half point
Bye to finish clear
1st Place with .5-.5!! In the
Lower Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1276) bounced back by defeating Marnzell "Pat" Hand (1600)
to share =1st-2nd Place with
"Smokin" Corey Frazier (920)
who split the point with Ethan
Hollandsworth (1116) each with 3.5-1.5.
