  • DCC November 2024 Report

    The heading photo is DCC President, Earle Wikle. Who needs two computers to do everything he does for the DCC.

     DCC Tuesday night attendance has been slipping, quite possibly due to the 10 dollar entry fee. Some justification is due to rising DCC expenses, which are not unlike the rising prices of everything else. Last year the church board wanted to raise the rent to 600 dollars a month.

  • DCC October 2024 Report

    ... but especially the players at both locations.

    The heading photo is an attempt to show the social aspect of the DCC before the round starts.The DCC October tournaments were confusing to me. I admit to being easily confused.

  • DCC August 2024 Report

    Note that GM Giri is calling chess players athletes.

    I frequently refer to tournament chess as a sport, mainly because it is certainly more of a competition than a game. I do not mean to disparage pastime games. After all, doing that is better than watching television or listening to some politician tell lies :-) But anyone who plays USCF rated chess knows firsthand that it is about as competitive as competitive can get.
