Carey Milton

Carey Milton was stricken today while playing Cy Lakadawala in Round 1of Gambito # 397.  He was rushed to Scripps-Mercy Hospital.  Eye-witness accounts report that a number of his friends came to his aid: Richard Jensen called 911;  Dimitry Kishinevsky ran to the road to flag down the ambulance; James Mahooti applied CPR.  I am sure that many of you present also provided assistance.

 

I heard about this later this evening from Jamieson Pryor and called the hospital at 8:30 p.m.

 

According to his attending nurse, Carey is stable and sedated at the moment.  Carey is *not* in intensive care and can receive visitors.  The nurse said that Chuck Ensey has already visited.

 

We are cautiously optimistic that the incomparable one will pull through (after all, he wins games a full queen down) and return to chess boards to dazzle us all with his wizardry.

 

Please keep Carey in your thoughts and prayers.  We will try to provide you with updates.

Web Site

Hey there,

 

A few years ago there were emails flying around between Rick, Chuck, and myself about a java applet chess viewer I wanted to incorporate but it never happened. Anyways, with this msn groups issue, I'd like to resurface this a bit. The last few weeks I have been messing around with Adobe's Flex 3, and it freakn rocks. I've converted a chess game viewer I did in .NET to Flex. Its a flash based(actio script) web app, and its totally open source. While getting more intimately involved in Flex, I would love to put something together for the club. We could have a flash based, no javscript, web site, and anyone with the flash plugin, free of course, could do some amazing things all through the flex web site. If anyone is wondering about games already out there, the viewer I did will parse a those pgn files, and will do unlimited nested variations.

 

If anyone would like to see this go forward, give me some ideas on things you'd like to have, and I'll try to hook it in. I can give anyone thats interested a demo anytime.

Double Super G November '08

Behind that sweet, innocent demeanor lies a mind of mating net calculations and other chess snares. Beware!

Super Double Gambito Open

Please don't miss one of the big events of the year at the San Diego Chess Club - the 8th Annual Super Double Gambito Open on November 8th and 9th. $$2,100 in prizes, 8 rounds over two days of G/45 (or G/40 w/ 5 second delay). To sign up and secure the advanced entry rate of only $50, just email chucnglo@aol.com , otherwise it is $60 at the door. See our website for details. We usually get between 35 and 40 players, I would like to see us get to 50 this year, which is quite possible considering 100 different players have won money at a Gambito Open this year so far.  Thanks, Chuck Ensey

Anyways, enjoy.
