us, stops us, shifts us ahead, and soon picks us up
one after the other and gathers us in the same box of Nothing."

Our
100th 5 Round Event Since Wendy's
I * 2-10-99!
Charlotte, NC 11-19-08:
An average turnout of 12
of the most congenial competitors in the Carolinas converged upon this
grand chess ballroom more
commonly known as the Seafarer (Just
look for the 3-D Whale) in order to participate in Rd:4
of Seafarer IV. In the Top Section,
"Iron Man" met "Superman" as the CCC's #5 player, the pride of Mint
Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2011) squared off against
mild mannered reporter for the Daily Planet Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1779). In this dubious
confrontation between the two diffident superheros, kryptonite
notwithstanding, the game ended in a political Draw after 19 moves!? (See Game 0769)
allowing Fuerstman
to lead with 3-1.
In the "B" Section, Alain "Rastamon" Morais (1738) had his way with
castrato Charlie "Tenor" Carerros (1437) to lead with a perfect 4-0! In the "C" Section, Lee "Roger" Moore (1160)
upset Michael "Xan" Alexander (1504). In the Lower Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1325) welcomed Corey Frazier
(1213) back to CCC competition
and leads with 3-1.
In
order to observe all results see "Current
Crosstable". All welcome new member Kyle Harvey. (The
facility was great! Everybody was happy! We hope that more players will
join us
next week to dine, socialize and play chess!)
- Long live the CCC! - Quark VIII - Nov
