Newton, Liu, McCartney Share Top Honors; Baker "B"; Gatlin "C"; Abdelkefi 5-0 in Lower Section of Wendy's XLIX 
Charlotte, NC 10-15-03: In spite of the fact that Ex-World Champion Anatoly Karpov (2596) was a no show, 58 faithful followers of this sacred ritual we call chess, abandoned the less important things in life and instead participated in Wendy's XLIX. In the Top Section, recovering from a serious knee injury, the CCC's #1 player, current N.C. State Champion, NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2280) 3.5-1.5 won his unprecedented 30th Wendy's Title! after a very gracious Draw offer versus NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2022) 3.5-1.5 who won his 2nd Wendy's Title. Bringing up the rear by winning his last three games and also scoring 3.5-1.5 was Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1980) who survived an incredible see-saw battle against NM Leland "El-idi-ote" Fuerstman (2028) to take his 5th Wendy's Title (See Game 0350). In addition, CCC Favorite Son, current N.C. Scholastic Champion, Expert Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (2137) locked the phone booth on mild mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1848) while counselor Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1712) prosecuted against Jon "Cigars" Pietras (1789). In the "B" Section, the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1728) took liberties with Ken "the Terrible" Ivens (1666) to take 1st Place with 4.5-.5. Meanwhile, Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian" Ozherelyev (1599) upset Danesh "DD" Dadgar (1723) and Dave "Richman" Richards (1627) beat down Algie "Van" Clyburn (1500). In the "C" Section, though he lost the final round to Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1524), Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1389), the lowest rated player in the section!, captured clear 1st Place with 4-1(See Game 0352). (To view  Gatlin's win over Jiri Janko in the Carolina Class "Click Here." Meanwhile, Jeremy "Irons" Davenport (1611) muted the trumpet of Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1528), Marnzell "Helping" Hand (1607) made peace with Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (1505) and newcomer Geoffrey "Ray" Charles (Unr) split the point with Michael "You Know You Make Me Wanna" Shoup (1519). In the Lower Section, winning his 10th consecutive game in CCC competition, Kaled "the Alphabet" Abdelkefi (1534p) scored a perfect 5-0 and pocketed $100 for his final round victory over Sean "the Villain" Villone(1213)(See Game 0349) . Honorable mention goes to Todd Essex (1168) who took Clear 2nd Place with 4-0! Other Lower Section winners were: Craig "Xan" Hamilton, Todd Essex, Tony "the Tiger" Hicks and CCC Player Representative Alphonse "Amazing AL" Ashamalla. All results may be viewed in "Current Crosstable."  All welcome new members Jason Ballinger, Dave Privette and Geoffrey Charles. Visit the CCC Message Board and speak to us!!

Charlotte, NC 9-20-03: Twenty-two competitors, some from parts unknown, journied to the Queen City in order to participate in Smokehouse XLIII. In the Top Section, SC Expert Keith "Chuck" Eubanks (2058) asked no quarter and yielded none as he reduced the rank of Tim Rankin (1774), beat up Ken "Beans" Baxter (1900) and finally overwhelmed team mate James "Big" MacDougall (1789) to score 3-0 and pocket $100.  Clear 2nd Place with 2.5-.5 was Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1712) who claimed $50. In the Lower Section, Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian" Ozherelyev (1614), Marnzell "Pat" Hand (1607) and Jeremy "Irons" Davenport (1604) each scored 2.5-.5 and took home $50To view complete crosstable (Click Here) (Fuerstman directed)  Next Smokehouse October 25.
