CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, Jan. 19 - Jan. 25, 2001 - 67
Chess tourney slated for Rehoboth's AmericInn on Jan. 20
Peace. Quiet. Checkmate. Resi-
dents of the Cape Region can
show off their best chess moves at
the Americlnn Lodging National
Chess Tournament, one of the
largest-ever amateur chess tour-
naments. The tournaments will
take place locally on Saturday,
Jan. 20, at the Americlnn, 329 Z
Airport Road in Rehoboth. The
Americlnn Lodging System will
host the chess tournaments across
the country from January to
March.
Ann Watkins is excited to have
the opportunity to introduce rest-
dents to Americlnn's dedication
to providing guests with a quiet
night's stay and on being an ac-
tive member in the local commu-
nity, where guests can have fun
during their stay and experience
quiet times for reading, sleeping
and even playing chess.
"It's a great pleasure to host the
Americlnn Lodging National
Chess Tournament in Rehoboth
Beach," Watkins said. "We want
everyone to appreciate the special
features and construction that
make Americlnn the perfect ven-
ue for a chess tournament or any
other event that requires a quiet
environment - including a quiet
night's stay."
Designed for the casual chess
player, participants can compete
for a chance to play in the nation-
al tournament to be held in March
in Minneapolis. The winners from
the local tournament, four adults
and four youth, will advance to
the regional tournament to be held
in February at participating
Americlnns. Regional winners
will then advance to the national
tournament where one adult and
one youth will be named the
'70s Soul Jam set for Dover Downs Slots Jan. 26-27
The Dramatics, The Manhat-
tans and Harold Melvin's Blue
Notes will grace the Dover
Downs Slots stage tbr two nights
in January. Following the over-
whelming success of last year's
'70s Soul Jam, a new combination
of legendary R&B groups will be
appearing Jan. 26 and 27, 2001.
The shows begin at 9 p.m.
The Dramatics, known as one
of the most distinctive and suc-
cessful soul vocal groups of all
time, are back after a four-year
hiatus and a newly recorded al-
bum. Their combination of dis-
tinctive harmonies and choreogra-
phy has always been the forte of
this Detroit-based group. Origi-
nally formed in 1962, their list of
hits includes "Whatcha See Is
Whatcha Get," "In the Rain,"
"Hey You, Get Off My Moun-
tain," "Me and Mrs. Jones," and
"Shake it Well."
After a four-year hiatus, five
members of the Dramatics return
with a new album. Lenny Mayes,
William "Weegee" Howard,
Willie Ford, L.J. Reynolds and
Ran Banks have reunited to create
Somewhere in Time (A Dramatic
Reunion) for Fantasy Records.
The long-awaited reunion albam
is thoroughly contemporary, yet
remains true to the full, versatile
sound that made the group a ma-
jor force in popular music.
The Manhattans, with their
smooth, polished and heartfelt
harmonies, bring their wealth of
hits to this exciting show. The
Grammy, Gold and Platinum
award-winning Manhattans have
sold more than 12 million records
with hits such as "Kiss And Say
Goodbye," "There's No Me With-
out You," "Don't Take Your
Love," and the classic "Shining
Star."
Since 1990, The Manhattans
have performed throughout the
United States and Canada. Their
latest album, "Now," offers listen-
ers 12 newly recorded songs in-
cluding the gospel classic "Touch
The Hem Of His Garment," and
"Save The Best For Last," a pas-
sionate original song.
Harold Melvin's Blue Notes
have created many classic hits
that have stood the test of time.
Their hits include "The Love I
Lost," "Bad Luck," Wake Up
Everybody," and the classic mil-
lion-seller "If You Don't Know
Me By Now."
Although Harold Melvin
passed away in 1997, the influ-
ence he had on the Blue Notes re-
mains strong. The current mem-
bers of Harold Melvin's Blue
Notes include Donnell Gillipie,
Rufus Throne, Dwight Johnson,
Tony Brooks, Robert Owens and
Nate Brown. They work to "'keep
his dream alive and continue
climbing towards the mountain
top that Harold started."

champions. The tournament is a
no elimination tournament where
players are paired against oppo-
nents who have the same score
and every player plays a different
player in every round. All tourna-
ment participants are encouraged
to bring their own chess board, set
and clock.
According to Dave Kuhns, na-
tional tournament director for the
Americlnn Lodging National
Chess Tournament and United
States Chess Federation (USCF)
certified national tournament di-
rector, Americlnn's unique con-
struction makes it the ideal venue
for a game of chess.
"Chess players seek out a quiet
place to play chess; they need an
environment to be able to concen-
trate on the game," Kuhns said.
"Americlnn is an ideal place to
hold a chess tournament."
