Greetings, I was looking forward to meeting my ace reporter in the third round, but it was not to be. Here is Dean Brown’s report on the CSCC Championship: “Dean William Brown posting Round 2 results of the Colorado Springs Chess Club’s 2010 Championship: Paul Anderson (2) over Buck Buchanan (1), Dan Avery (2) over Dean Brown (1), Peter Swan (1) over Paul Covington (0), Jeff Fox (1) over Imre Barlay (0).” Dan vs Dean: [facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3 … 1156704604](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31115737&l=97257c71a9&id=1156704604) Jeff vs Imre: [facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3 … 1156704604](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31115738&l=72d2d26393&id=1156704604) Here is my second round win: [chessvideos.tv/chess-game-re … p?id=36223](http://www.chessvideos.tv/chess-game-replayer.php?id=36223) [Event “CSCC Championship”] [Site “Colorado Springs”] [Date “2010.10.19”] [Round “2.1”] [White “Buchanan, Buck”] [Black “Anderson, Paul”] [Result “0-1”] [ECO “A42”] [PlyCount “74”] [EventDate “2010.10.12”] [TimeControl “5400”] 1. e4 c6 2. d4 g6 3. c4 d6 4.

It was myself that brought up the example of Buck. It was only due to extreme political pressure that I said the things I did (the transcript is included below). To the best of my recollection, DuWayne has never said anything derogatory about anyone at anytime. It is only right and fitting that, at this time, I come forward to apologize for casting a shadow of doubt on DuWayne’s fine reputation. As a token of my repentance and to avoid the noodle thing, I offer these games from the Air Force Quads.

Personally, I couldn’t care one way or the other, but I did research the USCF position a couple of times for newsletters I wrote. I remember looking it up after Josh Smith and Tim Brennan responded to a newsletter with differing views: [cschess.webs.com/apps/blog/show/ … e-part-ii-](http://cschess.webs.com/apps/blog/show/4325709-where-is-the-expert-title-when-you-need-one-part-ii-) Here is their wording, from the USCF Title System article Norms and titles cannot be lost through poor performance or inactivity. So, I gathered that title and ratings are independent from each other. Or as Josh put it, “Once a master, always a master.” * * * Subject: RE: [BrianWallChess] Paul Anderson responds intelligently to: I lose to a 12 year old again, 2010 DCC Autumn Cornucopia [1 Attachment] Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:30:35 -0600 …Rather than pick on Buck, who is a good friend of mine, and in my opinion, one of the most respected and knowledgable chess players in Colorado, my assertion was a general one. It is my understanding that attaining the title of master does not give that player the title permanently. Rather, that player is back to “expert” status when their rating falls below 2200. Now, I could be wrong, but that is how I’ve viewed the matter for my 37 years of playing the game. Maybe someone from the USCF can clarify here. The question does not have to do with the new “category” classifications, but rather the title of “master”. Paul, ten lashes with a wet noodle. DuWayne * * * Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:56:03 -0600 Subject: [BrianWallChess] Paul Anderson responds intelligently to: I lose to a 12 year old again, 2010 DCC Autumn Cornucopia [1 Attachment] I love g/29 tournaments. My first was Larry Wutt’s Liberty tournament in 1998 and my second was Fred Spell’s Palmer Divide this year. That is the main reason I like g/29 tournaments. I went 5.5/6 and sat in the same chair at board 1 every game, except when Kurt Kondracki beat me back from lunch. It also was apart of my recent unbeaten streak of 15 rated games. Kurt started the streak and ended it. I fall asleep listening to heavy metal. In my last round of the Palmer Divide, Anthea’s mp3 player died so I offered my phone, if she could handle my taste. She found Led Zeppelin acceptable and started with Achilles’ Last Stand (which she had never heard). Our game ended before the song did and she unplugged her headphones to give me back my phone. Of course, she didn’t realized you have to stop the song first, so everyone got to enjoy a little Led Zeppelin at the chess tournament. While the end of my 15 game streak and loss to Kurt at the Air Force quads hurt, I rebounded in my next two games and even won an argument over DuWayne Langseth. DuWayne said Buck was not a National Master because his rating dropped, with which I disagreed, as NM is a title not a rating. I argued that it was comparable to a degree. You don’t lose your Phd even if you forget everything you studied. I told him I would supply proof, so here is it from two examples in the MSA. Buck is listed as a NM since 1992 as he earned his certificate when the archives were being collected. Brian is listed as a NM but without a year as he earned his certificate before the archives were being collected. He also went on to earn higher titles too. 10273030: RICHARD W BUCHANAN Current Published Rating (October Supplement) Published Rating as of 2010-11-01 Regular Rating 2000 2010-10 (Current floor is 2000) 2010 National Master Certificate Earned in 1992 10923344: BRIAN D WALL Current Published Rating (October Supplement) Published Rating as of 2010-11-01 Regular Rating 2225 2010-10 (Current floor is 2200) 2200 300 Games as a Master (Original Life Master) Yes National Master Certificate Yes Highest USCF Norms-Based Title Earned (in events since 1991) Life Master Note: The Norms-Based Life Master Title does not include a 2200 floor. The ‘Original Life Master’ title, which requires 300 games as a Master, does include a 2200 floor. ---
