CCC NEWS &VIEWS 10-31-02
By NM Leland Fuerstman 
 Wendy's XXXX Begins; Newton Suffers Rare Loss?!
Charlotte, NC  10-30-02: A rather healthy turnout of 40 of the Metrolina area's most active chessplayers first spoiled their appetite with Haloween candy and then participated in Rd:1 of Wendy's XXXX. In the Top Section, the CCC's #1 active player and current State Champion NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2237) was amazingly outflanked by Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1976) (To view one of McCartney's recent games  (See Game 0268) while Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (2111) used just enough kryptonite on Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1851) and NM John "NightTrain" Lane (2073) steamed by Deneil "Sean" Brazell (1839). In addition, NM Leland "El-Presidente" Fuerstman (2041) narrowly split the point with Jon "Cigars" Pietras (1776). In the Middle Section, "Smokin" Brian Fraiser (1637) outpointed Michael "Y" Shoup (1451), Dr. Gerard "the Mad Pole" Sztyber (1718) succesfully operated on the good Reverend Bernard "Jim" Baker (1600), Nathan "TechDude" Eerenberg (1571) deported Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian" Ozherelyev (1602), Frank "Chessman" Johnson (1471) schooled newcomer Travis Filling (Unr), Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1644) bested Frank "Moo" Mu (1705) and "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1616) manhandled  Jered Williams (1561). (See Game 0269) In addition, Moore vs. Sinanovic and Singleton vs. Brown ended in Draw. In the Lower Section, wins were submitted by David Stephenson, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin, Todd Essex, David "Grisley" Adams, Hassan Hashemloo, Ankit "Butch" Jivan and Mike Richards. All results may be viewed in the "Current Crosstable." All welcome new members Travis Filling and Curt Frueh.

What, Me Worry?! Tapia Perfect in Top; Baker Perfect in Lower Section of Smokehouse XXXII
Charlotte, NC 10-19-02: A rather light turnout of 18 die-hard chessplayers who did not compete in the S.C. Championship nor Raleigh participated in Wendy's XXXII. In the Top Section, which was noticably absent of most of Charlotte's top players, (some speculated that the fear of losing was the reason) CCC Favorite Son, 16 year old phenom Expert Daniel "Alfred E. Neuman" Tapia (2109) dispatched of Scott Baldwin (1832) in Rd:1, Chris Mabe (1886) in Rd:2 and finally NM Leland "El-Presidente" Fuerstman (2000) to score 3-0 and win $100. Equal 2nd-5th with 2-1 were Fuerstman(See Game 0267), Patrick McCartney, Chris Mabe and Deneil Brazell each winning $12.50. The Lower Section was dominated by the good Reverend Bernard Baker (1609) who defeated Duncan McLaughlin, Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton and Hassan Hashemloo to score 3-0 and pocket $80. Equal 2nd-4th were Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton, Hassan Hashemloo and Jonathan Munnell each with 2-1 winning $13.
