BLUE CHIP VALUE FUND DECLARES THIRD QUARTER DISTRIBUTION

DENVER, CO. (October 3, 2005) The Directors of Blue Chip Value Fund, Inc. have declared a distribution of $0.14 per share. This distribution is payable October 28, 2005, to stockholders of record October 14, 2005, and will have an ex-dividend date of October 12, 2005. The Fund currently pays a quarterly distribution equal to 2.5% of its Net Asset Value, rounded to the nearest penny. These fixed distributions are not related to the amount of the Fund's net investment income or net realized capital gains or losses.

Of the total distribution, approximately $0.0028 represents net investment income and the remaining undesignated portion is paid from capital surplus. If the Fund's total distributions required by the fixed quarterly payout policy for the year exceed the Fund's "current and accumulated earnings and profits", the excess will be treated as non-taxable return of capital, reducing the stockholder's adjusted cost basis. The final determination of the source of the undesignated distributions can be made only at year-end. Stockholders will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment of all distributions for the calendar year in early 2006.

As of September 30, 2005, the Fund's N.A.V. was $5.65 and the stock closed at $6.66, a premium of 17.8761%.
