Game Of The Week
This week’s game comes from the CSCC’s Tuesday event. I didn’t write the score down during the game, but I did my best to remember it later that night so I could see where I went so wrong. I took a huge opening lead and threw it away in 2 moves.
It was at my second, double-question-mark move that Joe asked me, “Are you trying to let me win?”
What could I say? He was right. I had just let him win.
So, I kept my mouth shut and just hoped he didn’t see it.
Well, he missed it, and then he put up some double-question-marks of his own. So, when it all was over, there was only one thing to say:

This Week In Chess
Tuesday May 31, 2005
On May 24, the CSCC had 17 members in attendance. In addition to the regular club members, a handful of kids from the Cripple Creek Chess Club stopped by to play some chess before the main event started. In the USCF-rated match (G90), Richard Cordovano and Dan St John ended in a draw.
Most of the members played in the thematic event. All games had to start in the Scotch Gambit and were played in a 3 round, double Swiss tournament (G10) so that each player could play both sides. Brian Wall finished on top. Here are the results:

Even More Photos
This past weekend, the CSCC had their chess booth at the Territory Days in Old Colorado City. The members play visitors for free as a way to promote the club and chess in Colorado. Jeff Brewer manned the booth each day and captured a handful of images on his digital camera. You can view the photos by clicking on the Photos link in the menu bar to the left.
