Invitational! Congratulations to North Carolina's newest Expert!! McCartney Finishes Dead Last?! Click Here for Crosstable |
| 11 yr old Will Campbell is 2010 NC Scholastic Champion! Greensboro,
NC 2-28-10: This years event, which took place in Koury
Convention Center in Greensboro, (in spite of it's
high Entry Fees, hotel room rates and travel expenses),
attracted a
 total of 449 players! Gifted 11 year old,
6th grader from Statesville Will "Gasoline"
Campbell (1957)
not only breezed through the
field defeating last years
Champion David High (Rd:5),
but broke NM Michael Klein's
record as the "Youngest NC Scholastic Champion" ever while doing it!
For his clear 1st Place perfect 5-0
effort, Campbell has won a
$1,500 college
scholarship. (Hope
he doesn't have to wait 7 years to receive and use it!?) Clear
2nd Place was taken by Joshua Mu
(1965) of
Charlotte with 4.5-.5.
The K-12 U1300 Champion was Zehan
Duan with 5-0. The
K-8 Open Champion was Ken Chu
with 4.5-.5. The K-8 U1000
Champion was C. Reid Herrera
with 7-0. The K-5 Champion
was Lloyd Liu with 6-1. The K-3 Champion was Sam Ferguson with 6-1. The K-1 Champion was Michael Ferguson with 7-0. Special thanks to organizer
Bill
DeArmey and Floor Director Tom
Hales for conducting a well organized event. (Two years ago, when he was 9 years old,
Campbell defeated NM LF in tournament play! Current record 1-1.) Noteworthy
is the fact that the past 3 Scholastic Champions: Jonathon McNeill, David High and Will Campbell have all been
active members of the Asheboro Chess Club! Campbell still has a chance to
break Kit Crittenden's
1948 record of being the youngest State Champion (14) in the entire country ever!
Congratulations, Will,
keep up the great play!! LF(Photo courtesy of Tom Hales) |

NEWS & VIEWS 3-25-10Fuerstman Leads
Top; Gordon "B"; Eerenberg "C"; Gatlin Lower Section of Skyland XI
Charlotte, NC 3-24-10:
A slightly lighter turnout of 13
of the most celebrated officers of the CCC royal guard gathered for a
non-political caucus at this grand dining facility more commonly known
as
the Skyland Family
Restaurant in order to participate in Rd:4 of Skyland XI. (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
($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 down;
open 24 hours - No Smoking!) In the Top Section,
the  pride
of Mint
Hill,
ex-member of the NCCA
Hall of Fame, NM Leland
"Ennui" Fuerstman (2022)
playing the Timman System against the English missed
the cursher on move 16 but ultimately defeated Bill "Mindweeder" Wright
(1616) (See
Game 0869) to lead with 3-1.
Meanwhile, Slobodan "the Mad
Serb" Sinanovic (1876)
advanced a fleet of Queen side Pawn to their destination versus David
E. Smith (1763). In the "B" Section,
superhero Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1719) grabbed a couple of Pawns and won the
ending versus Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1742) to lead with 4-0. In
addition, Josh "GTO" Balogh (1719) beat down Tony "the
Tiger" Cato (1592). In the "C" Section,
Vincent "Sonny" Grosso (1443) got crushed in the
opening and destroyed in the middlegame but, finally, there is the
endgame whereupon he defeated a very disappointed James Bourque (Unr). Nathan "E's" Eerenberg (1492) still leads with 2.5-1.5. In
the Lower Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1398) riddled "Smokin" Corey
Frazier (1240) to lead with 2.5-1.5. 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 XV ?? |
