Chess
continued from page 1
McClure, who has been playing the
game since childhood, said his deci
sion to study at the University was
largely determined by the fact that
the school had an active chess group.
“That was one of the criteria I was
basing my decision on,” he said.
McClure added that he enjoys
chess because it consistently keeps
him interested.
“It’s an engaging game,” he said.
“It’s not a game you can learn over
the course of a week and get bored
with in a month.”
Club director and Center for
Housing Innovation research assis
tant Stephen Lamb agreed. He has
been playing the game for more than
30 years. Lamb said chess is a good
way for students to develop their
skills in diverse areas.
“It keeps your wits sharp,” he
said. “For college students, it is a
good way to look at strategy and
planning. There’s a unique dynamic
that goes on — it applies to other sit
uations indirectly.”
The club, which has roughly 30
members on its mailing list and 10
who attend meetings regularly, has
participated in tournaments with
Lane Community College, Oregon
State University and, most recently, a
simultaneous match against South
Eugene High School national champi
ons Oleg Zaikov and Morgan Griffiths.
Zaikov and Griffiths played a “Simul”
game, meaning they each competed
with up to six opponents at once.
“(Griffiths and Zaikov) won all of
them,” Lamb said. “They kicked butt.”
Lamb emphasized that everyone,
from national champions to novices,
is welcome to join weekly meetings,
and that student status is not required
for membership. He added that a ba
sic knowledge of the board and pieces
is useful, but the group “would wel
come anybody who has an interest.”
South Eugene High School senior
Michael Davidson joined the UO
Chess Club this year. He said he en
joys the challenging opportunities
the game provides.
“It’s so creative,” he said. “There’s
always room for new moves. It’s
completely accessible.”
He added that the meetings’ re
laxed atmosphere is a welcome es
cape from hardcore practice.
“You talk all the time,” he said. “It’s just
a release from serious chess sometimes.”
McClure said he also enjoys the
club’s social aspects, but the true draw
simply comes from the game itself.
“You get together, you play chess,”
he said. “That’s about the extent of
it. But that’s enough.”
