New group

All,

I have created a new group call "Carver Center Chess" to publicize the chess activities at the Carver Center. After the recent "split" of the Leesburg club, I do feel the need to affirm the independence of the Carver Center. (I hate to see friends fight and I am not going to rehash the events - I let my views known to all the principals in private e-mail exchanges-)

Carver Center Chess is definitely not a club, it depends on the good will of our County and its first purpose is educational. (Chess mainly but we will also emphasize the fairness and sportmanship aspect of the game as well as the importance of organized thought process in all aspects of life.)

We also want to serve as a center of chess activities and exchange in the area (from Manassas to Frederic, from Reston to Winchester) but I propose the use of the "Loudoun" chess.com group for that side of our activities.

Do not try to "join" the "Carver Center Chess" group but feel free to use the forum to exchange ideas.

More later, I have a busy week-end.

Raymond
