NEWS & VIEWS 12-23-10Fuerstman Leads
Top; Gatlin "C"; Frazier Lower Section of Skyland
XIX
Charlotte, NC 12-22-10:
A similar turnout of 12
chess players dressed in Santa outfits converged upon this north pole
station more
commonly
known
as
the Skyland Family
Restaurant in order to participate in Rd:3
of Skyland XIX. (CCC
members
got very comfortable
sitting in the padded booths
and
full
size tables and chairs while
being
catered to by
our own personal waitress, Aleka! Most
enjoyed a generously
portioned
delicious
home
style meal for
a ridiculously
low price
($6.95!),
drank fresh
hot coffee and
other
beverages, analyzed
on our demo board
and occasionally
monitored
the giant flat screen TV with
the sound
turned off;
open 24 hours!) In the Top Section,
the pride
of Mint
Hill,
ex-member of the NCCA
Hall of Fame, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2009) employed the non-"h3" London System against Paul "Survivalist"
Lucas (Play 3 rounds; Get a Free Turkey Dinner!)  (1863) trading the Bishop for the
Knight but finally gained the upper hand on move 22 (See Game 0925)
to lead with 2.5-.5.
Meanwhile, driving in from Spartenburg, SC, the CCC's #3 player David "Knox" Williams (1893) snagged a pawn from
Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1888) and ultimately won the ending.
In the "C" Section, Winfred
"Guns" Gatlin (1534) outplayed Ray "Ray" Hutchison
(Unr) to lead with 2.5-.5. In
addition, Bill "Mindweeder" Wright (1598) casually emerged into
an absolutely even OCB ending versus Tony "the Tiger" Cato (1574) who
was generous enough to  give Bill an early Christmas gift!? In
the Lower Section, "Smokin" Corey Frazier (1348) outlasted
Manfred "Mann" Vees (822) to lead with 1 point. 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!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
