Greetings,
Well, another chess season has come to a close for me. It is time for me to move on to managing the website for my other hobby (spamfootball.webs.com/), but I will return after the football season ends. Before I go, I wanted to clean up some loose ends.
Of course, you can still send in news items or articles during the off-season, and I will email them along to the subscribers. Any games I receive will be stored at the Colorado Springs Chess News’ Yahoo! group (games.groups.yahoo.com/group/cs_chess/). You can also join the group to keep receiving chess games all year round.
So, before I finish typing my chess thoughts for another year, I want to thank all the people who sent in games and articles, all the people who took the time to tell me something nice about the newsletter, and all the people who take the time to read this.
Don’t forget about the 52nd Annual Colorado Springs City Chess Championship (5SS, G90+30, USCF-rated, $10 entry, cash prizes and winner added to the club plaques) starting October 4th! See our ad in Chess Life.
The CSCC has rated the monthly events for August.

This week’s position comes from the Game Of The Year. I am sure Earle Wikle is happy that my only upset of the year was published early in the season and didn’t make the Game Of The Year. It is White to move.
