With the biggest turnout of the summer Thursday, the members and guests of the Ellsworth chess club played doubles chess. Doubles certainly is good for the chess brain as far as mental gymnastics go, but hard from an emotional standpoint. We had a good time despite the many blunders and squanders.
As school looms, it will be interesting to see if numbers decrease. The press in the Ellsworth American has certainly helped. Has it helped my chess game? It hasn't hurt, but improvement at age 47 is slow!

I got lucky with the partner I have for doubles. We had some cool tactics within the Ruy Lopez games we kept playing. It has definitely been refreshing to have so many players showing up for the Ellsworth Club. A great group of people.
