NEWS & VIEWS 1-6-05Newton
Still Leads Top;
Katz "B"; Hofer "C"; Nichols, McLaughlin, Bullis Lower Section of
Wendy's LXII
Charlotte,
NC 1-5-05: A
rather healthy turnout of 28 of
the Metrolina area's most cunning
calculators converged upon this factory of creative genii more commonly
known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:4 of Wendy's LXII. In the Top Section, the CCC's #2 player, NC
Invitational Champion, CCC Player of the Year NM Frankie "Neutron" Newton (2282) ultimately dispatched
of Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi (1825) after a hard fought
encounter to lead with 3.5-.5.
Meanwhile, NM Leland "Padrone"
Fuerstman (2035)
became involved in an intense see-saw battle with 2004 CCC "A" Player of the Year, Expert Shawn "Arlo" Pealer (2033) whereupon in the time
scramble, according to NM Newton, the former player overlooked the
winning move and made an "illegal" one instead which, incredibly, was
overlooked by both players!?! The flurry ended in Draw (See Game 0444). In addition, Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1944) split the point
with the good Reverend Bernard
"King" Baker (1843) and "up in
the sky; it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman disguised as mild
mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1802) who caused truth and
justice to prevail over Michael "the Savage" Savage (1789). In the "B" Section,
the CCC 2004 "D" Player of the Year & Most Improved Player of the Year
Marty "Fritz" Katz
(1640) deported Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1615) to remain as
the only perfect 4-0 in the
tournament! In addition, Laura
"Karate Kid" Lee (1615)
quickly pinned "Sponge" Bob Moore (1700) while CCC 2004 "C" Player of the Year Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1643) beat down Ankit
"Butch" Jivan (1615). In the "C" Section,
Donald "Trump" Hofer (1485)  outplayed Jim "Sticks" Ulaky
(1524) to lead with 3.5-.5 while Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1489) gunned down Dave
"Ameen" Eadie (1580) and Spencer
"Jazzman" Singleton (1516)
played a jazz riff on Joseph Alexander (Unr). In the Lower Section, Ervon "Wooden Nichols, Duncan "Doughnuts" McLaughlin and Joey "the Bull" Bullis each lead with 2 points. All
results may be observed on the "Current
Crosstable" - Caribou I, January 15. ATTN: New Location for Saturday
Tournament. See ("Upcoming Events") Editor

1st Annual
CCC Party a Grand
Success! Newton named CCC "Player of the
Year!"
Simo Yields One Gift as Dave Eadie Wins! Charlotte,
NC 12-18-04: Approximately
one third of the members of the Charlotte Chess Club,
and various family members, friends and visitors converged upon the
well
decorated Presidential Ballroom of the Ole' Smokehouse Dining Room to
enjoy
a "free" round of chess, "free" lunch, door prizes and finally a "free"
seat to play North Carolina's highest rated player, SM Karthik
"Rajah" Rangarajan (2520) in a simultaneous exhibition. The
extremely
entertaining five hour,
16 player event went pretty much as
expected
until late Draws were granted to Clarke "Kent" Brosi
(1803)
and Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1745). Finally,
with
3 players remaining, Rangarajan tipped his King for the
1st
time in his brief southern campaign to Dave
"Ameen" Eadie
(1561)! (See Game 0442) (Of
course, simos are unrated...). With
almost
every competitor putting up stiff resistance, a final score of 13-2-1
was certainly an impressive showing.
The morning began with one round of rated tournament play (See
Crosstable) followed by a gift of $5
cash to each CCC member to
offset
the cost of lunch at the Smokehouse. An early afternoon serenade by
Internationally
renound guitarist/ vocalist/ songwriter Leland
"Firstman"  preceeded
a drawing for 10
door prizes in the form of "Framed Chess Art" valued at $20 each and
provided by Whirlwindchess.com.
Next was the presentation of awards to CCC members. Gold leaf
certificates
were presented to Champions who had competed in at least 6
of the 22 CCC
events in 2004 and played
a total of at
least 24
games. In general, the player with the greatest annual rating increase
won the title. The results are as follows:
