XV Suffers Attack of Killer B's!; Team Asheboro Goes 2-0!
Charlotte, NC 7-21-10:
A light turnout of 15 of
the most loyal members of the CCC royal guard gathered at this mental
jousting arena more
commonly
known
as
the Skyland Family
Restaurant in order to participate in Rd:1
of Skyland XV. (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, Cathy! 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/"B" Section, the pride
of Mint
Hill,
ex-member of the NCCA
Hall of Fame, NM Leland
"Ennui" Fuerstman (2042) played the exchange
variation of the Caro-Kahn versus Team
Asheboro favorite
son 15 year old Jordan "Tiger"
Wood (1792) who
defended to the hilt until the former player blundered away a forced Draw (See Game 0893). Meanwhile,
Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1831) was outplayed by Team Asheboro guru Tom "Terrific" Hales (1762) who shares the lead
with Wood and Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1762) who beat down Bill
"Mind -sarcler" Wright (1636) and Marnzell
"Pat" Hand (1625) who
outdrew Winfred "Guns"  Gatlin (1375) each with 1-0. In the "C" Section, returning to Florida
tomorrow, Vincent "Sonny" Grosso (1426) bade goodbye to
Nathaniel "E" Eerenberg (1580) to lead with 1-0. In the Lower Section, "Smokin" Corey Frazier (1265) defeated
Manfred "Mann" Vees (1065) to lead with 1-0. 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! Everyone is
welcome... Long live
the CCC! |
