Mabe Leads Top; Eberhardinger "B"; Katz! "C"; Birsan, Xin Lower Section of Wendy's LX 'Sawox' Sweep 'Kods' in World Series !! Charlotte,
NC 10-27-04: Baseball continues to be America's
favorite pastime as only 24 dyehard mental
jousters congregated at this stadium especially
designed for one on one competition more commonly known as Wendy's in order
to participate (rather than spectate) in Rd:4 of Wendy's
LV.  In
the Top Section, the "Curse of the Babe" seemed
to have little effect on Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2110)
as he pitched a shut-out against the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker
(1862) to lead the series with 3-1.
Meanwhile, the contest between the CCC's #1 & #2 players SM Karthik
"Rajah" Rangarajan (2526) and NM Frankie "Neutron" Newton
(2266) was a complicated encounter which went to the wire and resulted
in Draw! (See Game 0435)
In addition, NM Leland "Premier Hombre" Fuerstman (2047)
yielded a half point after a 3 move repetition by Clarke "Kent"
Brosi
(1836) while Patrick
"Fabio" McCartney (1964) survived a badly botched operation performed
by Dr. Gerard "the Butcher" Sztyber (1769) (See
Game 0436). In the "B" Section, "Iron" Mike
Eberhardinger
(1693) made his day against Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan
(1687) to lead
with 3.5-.5. In addition, Slobodan
"the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1728) expatriated Viktor "the Mad Russian"
Ozherelyev (1659) while Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1675) split
the point with Laura "Karate Kid" Lee (1704). In the "C"
Section, though he sat out to watch the "World Series", Marty
"Fritz" Katz (1521) still leads with 2.5-.5
while
Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (1521) did a drum roll on Spencer "Jazzman"
Singleton (1571) and Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1475) debunked
Kert "the Oracle" Edward (1565). In the Lower Section, in
spite of the fact that he was defeated by "Dr." Phil Whittington
(1365),  Ilgin
"the Mad Turk" Birsan (1197) shares the lead with Samuel
"Reshevsky" Xin (1243) each with 3-1.
Other Lower Section winners were: W. Doyle Dewbre.
All results may be observed on the

Rangarajan 3-0
in Top; Lawson 3-0
in Lower Section of Smokehouse LVI
Charlotte,
NC 10-16-04: A
total of 22
chess goblins from North and South Carolina travelled to the Queen City
apparently to do some early "trick or treating" at Smokehouse LVI.
In the Top Section, which boasted an average rating of over
2000!, the CCC's #1 player,
SM Karthik "Rajah" Rangarajan (2526) demonstrated his superiority
over the canaille with wins over Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1966), Expert
Keith "Chuck" Eubanks (2062) and Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2110) to
capture clear 1st Place with 3-0
and take home $100.
Equal 2nd-3rd were Eubanks (See
Game 0433) and Mabe
each with 2-1
winning $25.
In the Lower Section, one of the lowest rated players in
the field, Josh "the Law" Lawson (1303)
from parts unknown, billy-clubbed Samuel "Reshevsky" Xin (1225), Viktor
"the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1683) and Ken "the Terrible" Ivens (1710)
to take clear 1st Place with 3-0
and collect $100.
Clear 2nd Place with 2.5-.5
was Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1728) who pocketed
$50.
Honorable mention goes to 9 year old "Fuerstman
School of Chess"*graduate
Samuel
"Reshevsky"
Xin (1225) who upset Colette "Wheels" Wheeless (1552).
