Fuerstman Keeps Pace with Daniel and Newton For
Lead In Wendy's XI; Millsaps Stops Ashamalla; "Flash"Gordon Perfect in
Lower Section
Neither
rain, nor sleet, nor ice, nor snow could prevent at least 30 of
our chess energumens from parking their snow-plows and competing in Rd:4
of Wendy's XI. (Sometimes I get the feeling that these
guys would show up during a hurricane, tornado or even nuclear attack to
play chess!!) In the Top Section, leader Gary
Newsom's (1907) position fell through the ice and into the freezing lake
as CCC Youthful Offender Justin Daniel (2018) grabbed a share of
the lead with 3-1.
Keeping stride while attempting to secure his unprecedented 4th Club Title
in succession, NM Leland Fuerstman (2041) smashed the snowman to
the ground as he destroyed NM Garrick "Outlaw" Wells (2254) with the rarely
played Frankenstein-Dracula variation of the Vienna Game! (See
Game 0088) (After last week's ghastley loss
to Newsom, Fuerstman realized the importance of "not losing one's mojo"
just prior to competition).
A
promising R & P adjournment against NM Daniel Liu (2000) will probably
elevate CCC Favorite Son William F. "Frankie" Newton II (2188) to
the leaders platform. Also, in the Top Section,
PatrickMcCartney
(1761)
with the Black pieces, corralled David Jaap's (1821) Queen while
Tarokh
Taefi (1791) handled "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1631). The final round
should prove to be very interesting. In the Middle
Section,
Alphonse "Amazing Al" Ashamalla's (1250) incredible streak of 8 wins finally
came to an end at the hands of spoiler Douglas "Sky" Millsaps (1563)
while also with the Black pieces, Paul "Shuttleman" Calloway (1641)
and Mike Isner (1499) defeated CCC Internal Affairs Committee Chairman
Paul F. Lucas (1646) and Andras Bader (1600) respectively. In addition,
Algie
Clyburn (1599) took care of Jerome "Bouncer" DeBell (1578) In
the Lower
Section, Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1302)
successfully defended against Michael "You Know You Make Me Wanna" Shoup
(1128) to lead the section with a perfect 4-0! (Hey Dude; you should
have played the Queen of Cups!) Other Lower Section winners were:
Slobodan Sinanovic, Brandon Brown, and Helton Clavijo. For all results

See
ya' Saturday at Denny's!
CCC Continues to Seek New Location; John's Restaurant
Just Too Far Away
Over the
past two months,
officials of the Charlotte Chess
Club have been searching for a new "temporary" home. Though John's
Restaurant would have been a perfect facility for our purposes, ie. modern,
comfortable individually lighted booths, room for 100 players, open till
11:00pm, great menu, friendly, "quiet" employees, direct parking, etc.
the facility was located "off the beaten path." What we have negotiated,
however, is the use of the
Ole Smokehouse Dining Room on Montford
Dr. (Off Park Rd) for Saturday
tournaments. Hopefully, if
they like us, we will try to talk them into allowing us to use it
on Wednesday evenings as well. But, for now our first tournament has been
planned for Saturday, February 26. (See
Upcoming Events) See ya' there! LF
Liu Captures Denny's A-1 Title; Dr. Sztyber Performs
Surgery on Lower Section
A dozen
of the Metrolina area's most competitive chessplayers installed
chains on their tires, caravaned to Ft. Mill, SC, and participated
in Denny's A-1 on Super Bowl Saturday! In the Top
Section,
NM
Daniel Liu (2000) pocketed $60 after having dispatched of David Jaap
(1821) and Gary Newsom (1914) before drawing his final round against Patrick
McCartney (1783). (See Game 0089) Equal
2nd-3rd winning $15 each were Gary Newsom
(1914) and PatrickMcCartney
(1783) who each score 2-1. In the Lower Section,
Dr.
Gerard
Sztyber (1513), after having driven all the way from Alabama, preformed
various procedures on Don Norwood, Mike Isner, and Rob Morse to score a
perfect 3-0 and carry home $60 (Please give Governor Wallace my regards...)
Equal
2nd-3rd with 2-1 and winning $15 were Jerome DeBell and Rob Morse.
(Our next 3-round Saturday tournament will be held at "The Ole Smokehouse
Dining Room" on Montford Dr. (Off Park. Rd.) on Feb. 26). Fuerstman
directed.
