III Results |
| Out-of-State Players/Organizer?! |
| North Carolina Open Whatever happened to the North Carolina State Championship?? And, since we already have the LPO, Land of the Sky and many other 5 round "open" events in North Carolina, why is it necessary to allow out-of-state players to ruin the soverignty of our State Championship? Back in the 70's, the NCCA constitution, (which is nowhere to be found on their website and no longer even seems to exist), required that a "closed tournament be conducted each year in order to determine our State Champion." (Remember: "only residents, full time students & military personel are allowed to compete"). It is inherently unfair for a NC contender to be required to play an out-of-state player who may spoil his chances to win the crown?! Why or when that bylaw was changed is not important. Our new administrators must make the correction for the good of all North Carolina players. - And, while we are on the subject, why is it necessary to farm out our State Championship to an out-of-state promoter who is sure to profit greatly from the event, as usual, with the efficient assistance of an all North Carolina crew?? Look, I've known Thad Rogers for over 30 years! He already runs the LPO and the Land of the Sky; but our state championship is different! The responsibility of conducting this tournament falls upon the officers of the NCCA. To allow an out-of-state promoter to reap the reward$ of our State Championship when there are so many other competent promoters/directors in North Carolina is difficult to understand?! Wake up, people. Do the right thing and insist these changes be made. Oh, while you're at it, you might want to include a "Mission Statement" on the website as well as update the NCCA membership database by deleting members who expired years ago and reflect the names and E-mail addresses of "current members only." Good luck next weekend. LF |

Charlotte, NC 10-22-08: A grand total of 14 of the most congenial chess players in the Charlotte area navigated their way to this very well lighted, very quiet and very comfortable formal banquet hall more commonly known as the Seafarer  in order to participate in Seafarer III. In the "hotly contested" Top Section,
the CCC's #6 player, the pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2000) survived a
complicated endgame that went to the wire (See Game 0765) versus his
sparring partner, the
CCC's #3 player and pride of
Moskow, Russia via Mexico! Expert Dr. Vladimir Vladimirovich
Tkatchouk (2104) each finishing =1st-2nd

Jamaica, Alain "Rastamon" Morais (1738) beat down Vadims "the
Mad Rigan" Mudrovs (1534) to take clear 1st Place with 3-1. In
addition, Derek
"Cats" Smith (1733)
quickly dispatched of NCCA President
Randy "Wheels"
Wheeless (1667). In the "C" Section,
Michael "Sandy" Alexander (1416) bested Charlie
"Tenor" Carerros (1370) to take clear 1st
Place with 3-1. In the Lower Section, in spite of the fact that
he lost  to Alexander,
Charlie "Tenor" Carerros (1370) took clear 1st Place with 4-1 and won Free Entry
into Seafarer VI. Other Lower Section winners were "Smokin" Corey Frazier. In
order to observe all results see "Current
