Hi, everyone.
I know this is going to come as a shock to many of you, especially as I have
been part of chess lists for years. I have been mulling over how much of my
busy schedule I can truly devote to correspondence chess. And, I have wrestled
with this need for some time. I am going to be unsubscribing from this and the
USBCA lists and resigning my games. Simply put, among the multitude of other
fires I've got irons in, I simply don't have time to devote to the game we all
love.
Admittedly, the verbal and emotional abuse that Alan Dicey dealt out to Donna
over her allegedly cheating on her games had a bit of souring of my enthusiasm.
Being vice-president of an organization that is ripping at the seams over
issues that we blind chess players ought not need to be dealing with has s
soured my enthusiasm instead of heightening it.
I love the game alot and hope to compete on the o.t.b. scene which is my first
love in chess. And, I do plan to attend the tournament in Pittsburgh, which
every able-bodied US blind player should consider attending.
But, as for correspondence and political involvement in the USBCA, etc., I
don't have room in my busy schedule right now.
I do apologize to my oppponents who have to endure my lack of moves and
untimely moves in our games. Yet, as writing, other organizational issues, and
especially work have taken precedence, I just don't have the time to focus on
the amount of material the chess lists have and the correspondence games I can
play.
I truly hold no hard feelings toward any of you.I appreciate and am thankful
for the acquaintanceships I've formed with you and enjoy that. But, as for the
ongoing, day-to-dayness of it, time is not present for my involvement with the
list and correspondence chess. I apologize.
David
