 CCC
NEWS & VIEWS 3-26-09Fuerstman, Sinanovic, Hales Lead Top; Gordon "B"; 4 "C"; Frazier, Hashemloo Lower Section of Skyland I Charlotte, NC 3-25-09: A slightly lighter turnout, possibly due to the bad weather, of 16 of the most competitive calculators in the county converged upon this mental jousting arena more commonly known as the Skyland Family Restaurant, in order to participate in Rd:2 of Skyland I. (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!), 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. I thoroughly enjoyed the "turkey dinner special" with all the trimmings; I kid you not it was more than I could eat for $5.99! Not to cast any aspersion on our previous facility, but the food is excellent  and
much cheaper at
Skyland, the location is far better and the place stays open 24 hours!!) In the Top Section, the
CCC's #4 player, the pride of
Mint Hill, NM Leland
"Ennui" Fuerstman (2011)
snagged a Pawn against the Center Counter of Team Asheboro's Jonathon "Livingston" McNeill (1963) but promptly
blundered it away and Drew (See Game 0786)
to share the lead with Slobodan
"the Mad Serb" Sinanovic
(1807) who welcomed newcomer Wesley "Sherlock" Holmes (Unr) to CCC competition
and Team Asheboro's Tom "Terrific" Hales (1804) who dispatched of Vincent Grosso (Unr) each with 1.5-.5. In
the "B" Section, Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1619) outlasted Jerome
"Cookiemonster" DeBell (1632) to lead with 2-0. In the "C" Section, Michael "Xan" Alexander (1458) survived a tactical
melee against Nathaniel "E's" Eerenberg (1528) to share the lead with
three others with 1 point. In addition, Rich
"Sam" Sneed (1189) upset
Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1451). In the Lower Section, "Smokin" Corey Frazier (1315) bested Josh
Balogh  (Unr) while Hassan "HH" Hashemloo (1314) won on time with
the exchange down versus David "Crash" Collins (1234) each with 2-0. 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!) - Long live
the CCC! - Quark XI - Apr
