| Flash - Flash - Flash - Flash Beaman Resigns Charlotte, NC 9-29-09, 3:00pm: Now that there has been an official statement published on their website that Victor Beaman has resigned as President of the NCCA, (you saw it first on the CCC website!) hopefully the organization will move forward with positive changes. But, until a thorough, much overdue audit is made of the NCCA's records and checkbooks, I am afraid that many inherent problems will continue to persist. Regardless of my current status with the NCCA, I am a past President who cares very much about the future of chess in North Carolina. Currently, there seems to be more of an emphasis on scholastic chess; and the competition is fierce! There are new organizations cropping up all of the time, including one currently being advertised and covertly promoted called "Chess Adventures" which is actually owned by NCCA President Gary Newsom!? ("Illegally elected" NCCA Vice-President of Scholastics Jessica Martin appears to spend most of her efforts on promoting "her" Scholastic Organization called "9 Queens") What puzzles me is why it is necessary to charge an entry fee of $25 to very young scholastic players who can only win a $5 plastic trophy?! Seems like a fair EF for kids should be between $5-10. Mr. Newsom was one of the Directors of that tournament. Furthermore, contrary to what Mr. Newsom has recently discussed publicly at his chess club and privately in a phone conversation to wit: "McCartney has asked Fuerstman 'numerous times' to remove his recent message?!" --- The fact is that Patrick McCartney has never asked me to remove Message #390 from the CCC Message Board. Again, I have become the object of "dirty tricks" which are designed to make me out to be the bad guy. Anyone within earshot of that conversation might form an opinion about me based on a statement which is absolutely not true. At best, that could be described as particularly bad manners... Look, the NCCA is still in chaos. Beaman's resignation is a good start, but nothing has changed yet including their continued policy of ignoring every important question which I have raised concerning the North Carolina Championship and other topics. By the way, Patrick, if you had tied for 1st Place in the NC Class and paid for "2" nights of lodging, gas and food, you would have "lost" between $50-100? The organizer, American Chess Promotions pocketed almost $4,000!?? And remember, the NCCA sanctioned it. Ps. And just to prove that I am capable of saying something positive about someone, I want to congratulate Asheboro Promoter/Director Tom "Terrific" Hales for promoting his 50th tournament on October 3. In the face of much political adversity, in a small town, Tom has built a very successful organization and provided a great service to all North Carolina players. I strongly recommend participating this weekend in Asheboro! You just might see me there. LF |

NEWS & VIEWS 9-24-09Sinanovic Leads Top; Balogh, Gordon "B"; Gatlin "C", Breukelaar Lower Section of Skyland VI Charlotte, NC 9-23-09: A even lighter turnout of 9 of the most contented calculators in the county converged upon this octagon where mental grappling takes place more commonly known as Skyland Family Restaurant in order to participate in Rd:3 of Skyland VI. (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 ($5.95!), 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!!) In the Top Section, the CCC's #8 player, the
pride of Serbia, Slobodan "the
Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1842)
beat down Josh "GTO" Balogh (1700) to lead with 2-1.
Meanwhile, the CCC's #3 player, the
pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman
(2005) tossed in a few Pawns for a piece versus Daryl "Flash" Gordon
(1700) who defended to the hilt but eventually capitulated in the end (See Game 0822).
In the Lower Section, Ron "Dutch" Breukelaar (1289) outplayed Lee
"Roger" Moore (1218) to  lead with 2 points. In
addition, "Smokin" Corey Frazier defeated George "Shaw"
Bernard (Unr). 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! - |
| Fuerstman Wins Quark XII Mint Hill, NC 9-5-09: A anticipated light turnout of 7 Labor Day  weekend
warriors gathered at the Mint Hill Public Library in order to participate in Quark XII. After being held to a Draw in Rd:1 by 11 year old Mark "the
Bomb" Biernacki (1305!) (See Game 0819), NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2005) bounced back with
victories over Vadims "the Happy Latvian" Mudrovs (1297) in Rd:2 and Joseph "the Detonator"
Biernacki (1597) in Rd:3 (See Game 0820)
to finish clear 1st Place with
2.5-.5
and pocket $70. Equal 2nd-4th with 2-1 were Joseph "the Detonator" Biernacki, Copeland "Copie" Blackwell and Ron
"the Dutchman" Breukelaar each taking
home $12.
