Wendy's LXXI Begins; Fall Schedule Rounds now Begin at 7:30 sharp!
Charlotte, NC 10-26-05:  A moderate turnout of 30 of the Metrolina area's most creative calculators converged upon this think tank where mnemonics come in handy more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:1 of Wendy's LXXI. In a Top Section which boasted 3 Masters, 4 Experts and 4 Class "A" Players, the pride of Crouse, NC, the CCC's #2 player, NM Frankie "Neutrino" Newton (2303) AKA the Gladiator blunted the "spike" while defending handily against the crazy Grob Attack! of NM Leland "Perro Grande" Fuerstman (2024) (See Game 0521), NM Justin "Dawg" Daniel (2198) survived a wild ordeal versus Expert Gary "the Nuisance" Newsom (2006), SC Expert Keith "Chuckie" Eubanks (2098) clobbered Michael "Jordan" Kliber (1910), 2003-4 SC State Champion Expert J. Michael "See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2087) outplayed 2005 NC Class "B" Champion Jonathan "the Enforcer" Munnell (1832) and Expert Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (2031) after one round has actually doubled his final score of Wendy's LXX!? as he defeated Laura "Karate Kid" Lee (1774) each with 1-0. In the "B" Section, Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan (1787) made his day against Marty "Fritz" Katz (1760), Amelia "Wheels" Wheeless (1669) drowned in the Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1718) river and Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1618) beat down Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1597). In the "C" Section, Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1577) outplayed SC player Robert Halliday (1525), Colette "Wheels" Wheeless (1551) rolled over Samuel "Reshevsky" Xin (1555) and Drexall "Frank" Shorter (1485) defeated Wei Xin (981). In the Lower Section, wins were reported by Joe Shirlen, Doyle Dewbre and Amanda Braband. All results may be observed on the "Current Crosstable" E-mail me at lelandfue@yahoo.com to add your name to the "List of Players" who intend to participate in Bertucci's V Saturday, November 19.

"See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2077) in the Rd:3 (See Game 0519) to take clear 1st Place with 3-0 and pocket $100.
