Hi, David.
I understand your issues and concerns, and I'm sorry to see you leave the BC
list.
Have you considered joining the Chess Parlor at the For the People chat room
site.
Jim Slagle runs it, and I've been a member for about a year now.
There's no politics or hastles.
And, the games are live, so they are finished in about 2 hours.
Let me know if you want more information.
Mike

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
