Top; Wright "B"; Eerenberg "C"; Gatlin, Shirlen Lower Section of Skyland
XIII
Charlotte, NC 6-9-10:
A grand total of 17 of the
most friendly calculators in the county converged upon this grand chess
arena more
commonly
known
as
the Skyland Family
Restaurant in order to participate in
Skyland XIII. (CCC
members got very comfortable
sitting in the padded booths
and
full
size tables and chairs while
being
catered to by
our own friendly waitress. 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 - No Smoking!) In the Top Section,
the pride
of Mint
Hill,
ex-member of the NCCA
Hall of Fame, NM Leland
"Ennui" Fuerstman (2042) got involved in
a crazy contest versus Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1762) but
ultimately stumbled into the correct line (See Game 0884)
to finish clear 1st Place with
5-0,
his second perfect score in as many CCC
events! Meanwhile, Slobodan
"the Mad Serb" Sinanovic
(1847) defeated Vincent "Sonny" Grosso (1426) to finish clear 2nd Place with 4-1 while Daryl "Flash" Gordon
(1831) outplayed Bill "Mindweeder" Wright (1633)
who finished clear 1st Place
in the "B" Section with 2.5-2.5. In
the "C"  Section, Nathaniel
"E's" Eerenberg (1565) grabbed
the Smith-Morra Gambit pawn but could only Draw Marnzell "Pat" Hand (1600) to finish clear 1st Place with 3.5-1.5. In
the Lower Section, despite the fact that he
lost to Ron "Dutch" Breukelaar (1395), Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1375) finished =1st-2nd Place with Joe Shirlen (1019) each with 2 points. 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! |
