Honors; Holmes, Keller Lower Section of Caribou I
Charlotte
NC 1-15-05: A happy group of 21 of the Metrolina
area's most
avid competitors downed their cappucino and expresso coffee, wiped the
whipped cream off their mustaches and participated
in Caribou I. Though
the playing area was limited
and the tables were a bit small, the
atmosphere was pleasant and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
event. (Regardless, this was only a
temporary venue; next month our new location will be ready!)
In the Top Section, the CCC's #3 player, 2004 NC Scholastic Champion, 2004 CCC Scholastic Player of the Year NM Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (2201) who just unvailed his
new website at: www.danieltapia.com,
yielded a Draw to Soviet Grandmaster Gennady
Brazhnikov (1856) in Rd:1
and then reeled off successive wins against Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi
(1829) and Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1941)
to share =1st-3rd Place with 2004 CCC Expert of the Year Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2102) who defeated Matthew
"Hoekstra" Green (1856), Kenneth "the Terrible" Ivens (1807) and agreed
to a Grandmaster Draw with Expert Todd
"Squirrel" Trower (2058)
who chopped down Taefi and Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1759).
(Slobodan scored 2-1...Good
luck next week in surgery at Mercy Hospital...get well
soon!!)
Each scored 2.5-5
and
took home $50
cash. In the Lower Section, =1st-2nd Place was shared
by Laurin "Killer" Keller (1638) and
Dr. Gilbert "Sherlock" Holmes (1746) each with 2.5-.5
winning $75.

(Crosstable) for complete results. Next Saturday 3 rounder February 19.
