NEWS & VIEWS 7-6-08Seafarer New Home of the Charlotte Chess Club! Prize fund increased to $500!! Charlotte, NC 7-15-08: After many months of searching, we have finally found what we were looking for!! It is this editor's honor to announce that beginning Wednesday, July 16, 2008, the Seafarer Restaurant will become the home of the Charlotte Chess Club!  Though the location may be a bit
further for some,
and closer for others, it is very easy to find at the intersection of Albemarle Rd.
and Harrisburg
Rd. (Look
for the whale!!) Owner Chris Copsis
is going the extra mile by allowing us to stay till 11pm! The seafood
selection is extraordinary and competitively priced offering one of the
most extensive menues in town. Hey, they also serve beef tips! The "private" room
in the rear is properly
ventilated and adequately lighted
with "padded"
chairs and 8' x 30" tables
with tablecloths!
With space for 100
players,
the room is large enough for some to have quiet conversation or play skittles
without disturbing others. In addition, the bar, which
sells only beer
and wine, allows smoking!?
And, the free
standing building has a huge, well lighted
parking lot. Finally, after dinner at the Seafarer,
your better half can shop at the Wal-mart
across the street while you play chess! This is gonna' be fun!!************************************************** Thanks to the amazing response we have already received from our many friends and fellow players who have been patiently waiting for the CCC to come back to life, the CCC Central Committee has decided to increase the prize fund!! But, thanks to another benevolent CCC member, with the lower rated players in mind, the prize fund for Seafarer I has now been increased to $500 Guaranteed! The Top Section will now offer $200! the "B" Section $100, the "C" Section $100 and the Lower Section $100. I personally invite all USCF rated players in the Charlotte area to participate in Seafarer I. (Look, it's worth coming just for the food!!) ************************************************** In addition, the CCC is offering "FREE ENTRY" for Rd:1 of Seafarer I to anyone who plays at the Asian Library on the previous Tuesday! - On top of that, the Seafarer will offer CCC members a "flat rate special" which will include dinner, drink & tip! We will also have a large demo board available - and a Mon-Roi to try! ************************************************** Some potential participants have voiced their concern that they must become members of the CCC in order to win prize money in Seafarer I. For our inaugural event, that requirement has been waived! In addition, the "4 point requirement" has also been waived!! All cash prizes are Guaranteed! - CCC members will pay an EF of $4, non-members $6 per game. In addition, if enough of them show up, a special Scholastic Section will be conducted with a $2 entry fee per game! G45, Done by 9:00pm! ************************************************** NOTE: There seems to be some confusion about the "food policy" at the Seafarer. It is NOT mandatory for anyone to purchase food in order to participate. You may arrive at 7:29 pm and play the round without spending one cent otherwise! Or, you may choose to order a delicious meal before or during the round and enjoy beverages throughout the evening. (Please do not bring in food or drink from other sources). If you are running late and wish to be paired, simply call 704-778-3211 and I will have an opponent waiting for you. Remember, we have our own "private room" in the back of the building. Everyone is welcome, including kids! See you on Wednesday! ************************************************** The CCC has long been known for it's welcome and friendly atmosphere. An artist's pallet does not contain as many colors as the places of origin of our members. It's good to share ideas with people from other places! The CCC will continue an active policy of welcoming new players to USCF tournament competition. - Long live the CCC!! LF |
