Brian,

Several things need to happen in Colorado chess and getting Grimmy back
would be on the list as well.  My vote would be to fix the following:

1)  High fiber diets mandated for all chess players
2)  Enforce the "two flush" rule - Pete could assign a Pinkerton Toilet
Cop
3)  Make all Colorado chess players sign a Memorandum of Agreement - "You
clog it, You clean it" clause
4)  Require LaMoyne to wear his "teeth" whenever new chess applicants are
involved in the state of Colorado
5)  Make IHOP consider a new mascot (ideas?) if we sign a deal regarding
our next DCC site location

he
 "chess" folder at home.

 run-in with the neighborhood ice cream truck while out on one of my bike
 rides, or fall off a cliff and paralyze myself on some ridiculous trail
 hike/run.

 Hi Brian,

 I wrote a somewhat serious and completely satirical tome on my 11 year
 history and memories from the Denver Chess Club titled, "Clogs and
lungers -
 The unhappy story of the Denver Chess Club".

 I was inspired to share my thoughts when I found out that the DCC can no
 longer afford a playing location because membership and players on
uesday
 Nights has dropped to an all time low and now they are considering
laying
 chess in a cramped room at the IHOP on Colorado Blvd.  Although I admit

 have taken no proactive role in promoting chess in Colorado and have
aken
 advantage of the generosity of others time who have volunteered to run
he
 club - I still feel I have a vested interest in this as I do pay entry
ees
 to play and I have introduced players to the club.  Like my chess idol
obert
 James Fischer - I have strong opinions on playing conditions.

 Tim Brennan has posted this article on his chess blog, www.timmybx.com I
 thought you would enjoy it as you have a certain "God Father" status
ith all
 of us class players and you have shared in many of the same experiences
hat
 I included in the article.

 Feel free to share this with your readership as well as we are all part
f
 the same community of thought.

 You might also look at the DCC website in the Forum Section and see the
 posting by Dave Logan who was appalled at his first and last visit with
is
 son to the club.

 Oh to remember a time when IM "Boots" Valvo stomped the tile floors of
he
 VFW playing not only in the speed tournament but also the long time
ontrol
> games as well.

 Best regards,
 Pete
