Connecticut Chess Magazine: CONN CHESS SURPASSES 100+ READERS PER DAY

GAME OF THE WEEK, by Alan Lasser

This game is a classic tripled pawns win, they are on the board for almost forty moves. Black gives them to White with the idea that when the three isolated pawns are eliminated, Black will be a pawn up. However, they remain on the board, they control much of the center, and they give White the advantage.

Dear Connecticut Chess Organizers:

As you may have heard, many changes have recently taken place at the Connecticut State Chess Association. There is a new Board comprised of the most diverse group of people ever before assembled on this leadership body with six entirely new members. There is a new CSCA President for the first time since 2003: Jan van de Mortel. There is also a completely new slate of Officers, and an entirely new attitude and purpose to the Association. In this new environment, CSCA is open to and welcomes all organizers to participate and contribute to the Association. Most of you may have already noticed the change in the new and open CSCA event bidding process and policies distributed earlier this month, in which at least six of you participated.

As part of this great CSCA Renaissance, I would like to invite you all to participate on the newly created CSCA Organizers' Committee (OC), which will be submitted for Board-approval as a permanent, standing committee.

You may participate on the OC directly or designate a representative for your organization. All organizers are entitled to a permanent seat on the Committee and may join/participate at any time. There are no fees associated with such participation.

The general purpose of the committee is:

(1) To provide/raise organizer concerns and issues to CSCA leadership and the Board;

(2) To advise CSCA leadership and the Board on organizer and related matters;

(3) To exchange and share ideas on chess organization and management throughout the state;

(4) To request, suggest and organize CSCA support and benefits for organizers;

(5) To coordinate organizers' efforts and goals with CSCA efforts and goals;

(6) To maintain solid and open lines of communication between organizers and CSCA; and

(7) To benefit the Connecticut chess community as a whole, as well as regionally.

As CSCA Tournaments Coordinator, I am the OC Chair to start. My purpose is to maintain and facilitate communication between organizers, and between organizers and CSCA. Since I am also an organizer, if a conflict arises, I will appoint an Associate TC, who is not an organizer, to act as chair in my stead. If possible, the OC will try to meet at least once or twice per year in person, and then decide other means of meeting/communication, i.e., email, phone conference, web-based posting board, etc.

Again, this is an open invitation. Each organizer is entitled to their committee seat, may join/participate at any time and cannot be excluded, unless otherwise directed by the CSCA Board.

The following organizers and organizations known to me have been invited to participate on the OC:

Swan e4 (Fairfield)

DJA Chess (Southington)

CCFC (Norwalk)

Chess Haven (New Haven)

Coventry Chess Center

NECA (Stamford)

NSCF (Greenwich)

DIG Chess (Weston)

New Britain CC

Mike Zadarozny (Fairfield Co)
