You can go to the beach, hang out with your friends and party until your eyes droup out- and then what? Even summer summer holidays can become to much of a good thing. Spell "dog-days" of summer BORING. BORING. Bur why settle for just another humdrum Tuesday evening, sweating in front of summer re-runs when there is excitement, challenge challenge and the chance to socialize with folk just like yourself. Believe it or not, the action this year is at your local Optimist Chess club. That's right, I said Chess club. At the Port Hope Optimist Chess club to be exact. Before you reach for the comforting familiarity of your television remote control, control, let's explore a couple of enduring myths about the games of kings "Chess is for brains and other social deviants" Nope. If you can count to ten, plan a menu, balance a cheque book or read the back of your breakfast cereal the you can play an enjoyable game of chess. In fact, a poll found that chess was the third most popular recreational activ-; ity in the country. Swimming Swimming was number two. Public Public school children, Teachers, Teachers, Homemakers, Labourers, Labourers, Doctors, Lawyers, In dian Chiefs...all play chess. I once went out with a charming lady who would take great vocal delight in occasionally beating me. Much to the chagrin of my male ego. "A Chess game takes hours to play" Wrong again. Serious tournament tournament games can, and often do, require hours of concentration. On the other hand, the P.H.O.C.C. is first and foremost a social gathering. The average ' game lasts about fifteen minutes minutes and memebers will be encouraged to play many different opponents of vary- 1 ing styles and strengths. The first 30-45 minutes of each session will be devoted devoted to group instruction through the use of a large demonstration board and various handout. This will be followed by individual instruction for those who desire it against an ongoing background of pleasant banterand kibbitzing(table talk). Whether you have just learned the moves or are of Candidate Master strengh, the P.H.O.C.C. promises to deliver you from summer's dog-day blues. The Port hope Optimist Chess club summer program program runs every Tuesday evening from 7 pm - 11 pm commencing July 7, 1987 in Hewson Hall. The program is offered FREE of charge to students while adults arc asked to contribute $5:00 to help us offset the expenses expected to be incurred during the 8 week session. Our only goal is to offer affordable, affordable, family entertainment entertainment to be enjoyed by all, young or old, rich or poor, brother or sister...the language language of chess is universal and everyone is equal at the board.

We won two games, and lost the final one 2-1. But we never saw anything about it in the papers. papers. We'd really like to get. some fans out here. Maybe once they know who's playing, playing, they'll start turning out." This is Nicholas's second year as president. of the league.
