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."

"Imagination does not breed insanity.
Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go
mad; but chess-players do".

jousters in the two Carolina's gathered at this square circle
more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:2 of Wendy's 91. In the Top Section,
the CCC's unofficial #1 player, the pride of Crouse, NC, 2006 Player of the Year NM Frankie "Bluffer" Newton

Meanwhile, Expert Shawn "Arlo"
Pealer
(2084) clobbered Michael "Bolton" Kliber (1986), 13 year old phenom Samuel "Xman" Xin (1935) upset Expert Gary
"NightCrawler" Newsom (2040), driving all the way from Columbia, SC,

(2074) split the point with Patrick
"Fabio" McCartney
(1987) as did Expert Todd
"SquirrelBreath" Trower (2040)
with Team Davidson standout Expert James "Mason" Dickson (2029).  In the "B" Section,
15 year old phenom Dominique
"the Dominator" Myers (1781) (who
has gained over 600 rating
points in 6 months!)
continues to roll as he used just enough kryptonite to do away with
mild mannered reporter Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1770) while Derek "Cats" Smith
(1720) did the Professor Moriarty thing to Dr. Gil "Sherlock" Holmes (1787) each leading with 2-0. In the Lower Section, Dr. Ron "Feet" Futerman (946) walked all over Copeland "Copie" Blackwell (956) to
lead with 2-0.
