NEWS & VIEWS 12-17-09Fuerstman Takes Top; Balogh "B"; Fedko "C"; Breukelaar Lower Section of Skyland VIII Charlotte, NC 12-16-09: A grand total of 13 of the most contented calculators in the Carolinas congregated at this grand ballroom more commonly known as Skyland Family Restaurant in order to participate in Skyland VIII. (CCC members got very comfortable sitting in the padded booths and full size tables and chairs while being catered to by a team of friendly waitresses. Most enjoyed a generously portioned delicious home style meal for a ridiculously low price ($5.95!), drank fresh hot coffee and other beverages,  analyzed
on our demo board
and occasionally
monitored the giant flat screen TV with the sound
turned down;
open 24 hours!!) In the Top
Section, the pride
of Mint Hill, ex-member of the NCCA
Hall of Fame, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2016) administered just
enough kryptonite to derail superhero Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1840) (See Game 0840)
and finish clear 1st Place
with 3.5-1.5. Meanwhile, Slobodan
"the Mad Serb" Sinanovic
(1867) traded 4 Pawns for a piece versus superhero Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1700) who
ultimately mishandled the ending and lost on time. In the "B" Section, Josh "GTO" Balogh (1632) bounced back with a
nice win over Bill "Mindweeder" Wright  (1705) to finish clear 1st
Place with 4-1 and win Free Entry
into the next event. In the "C"
Section, Slavic "the
Happy Ukrainian" Fedko (1429)
outplayed Ron "Dutch" Breukelaar (1388) to finish clear 1st Place with 2-0. In the Lower Section, Breukelaar finished clear 1st Place with 2.5-2.5. In
order
to observe all results see "Current  Crosstable"-
The
facility was
great and everybody was happy! We hope that more players
will
join us next Wednesday to
dine, socialize and play chess! - Everyone is
welcome... Long live
the CCC! Quark XIV Dec. 26!! - Be there, or be square... |

0835) and Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1878) in Rd:2 (See Game 0836) before agreeing
to a GM Draw with Expert Patrick "Fabio" Mc Cartney (1996) who defeated Team Elkin's Leroy "SH" Greenlee (1540)
in Rd:1 and Team Elkin's favorite son
Bobby "Duck" Waddell (1942) in Rd:2.
Each finished =1st-2nd Place
with 2.5-.5
and pocketed $50.
(The
Entry Fee was only $5! The
CCC collected a total of $50

organization is charging less?" |
