Newton, Fuerstman Share Honors in Top; Millsaps, Singleton in Middle; Brown, Gordon in Lower Section of Wendy's XVIII

A grand total of fourty-five treasure seekers participated in Wendy's XVIII. (Note: Due to the fact that no participant(s) scored 5-0, the CCC has doubled the Bonus to be shared to $200.) In the Top Section, though he fell short in his Rd:5 encounter against NM Garrick "Outlaw" Wells (2151), NM "WWF" Frankie Newton II's (2236) score of 3.5-1.5 was good enough to tie for First Place with NM Leland Fuerstman (2015) who won his Rd:4 adjournment versus Wells  (See Game 0141)  and defeated Patrick McCartney (1900) in the final round.  (See Game 0140) Honorable mention to David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1866) whose hopes to win a Club Title were dashed in the final round by Jon "Infinity's End & Cigars Etc" Pietras (1777).(See Game 0139)  each scoring 3-2. Also, in the Top Section, NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) handled Michael Curcuru (1779). In the Middle Section, Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1624) took out David Mangis (1540) while Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1400) upset Gregory "the Mad Ukrainian" Bunich (1722) each scoring 4-1. In addition, Paul Jenkins (1560) handled Thomas "Hitman" Hayes (1475). In the Lower Section, Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1341) and Brandon Brown (1244) defeated Alphonse Ashamalla (1302) and Ankit Jivan (708) respectively to each score 4-1. Other Lower Section winners were: Daniel Tapia, Michael Shoup, Randy Hunter, Freddie Perdue and Frank Mu. All results may be viewed in "Current Crosstable."


Pohl Perfect in Top; DeBell and Tapia Share Honors in Middle Section of Smokehouse XIII

Thirteen weekend warriors participated in Smokehouse VIII on Saturday, September 30. In the Top Section SM Klaus Pohl (2210) from Greenville, S.C. asserted his superiority by clicking off successive wins against Paul Calloway (1675), NM "WWF" Frankie Newton II (2236) and Patrick McCartney (1900) to take clear First Place and collect $80. Equal 2nd-5th were NM "WWF" Frankie Newton II, Patrick McCartney and Jon Pietras each winning $13.33.  In the Lower Section, Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1421) struck again with wins over Mike Lipkin (1540) and Sam Christopher (1050) and a Rd:2 Draw against Jerome "BigGuy" DeBell (1540).  DeBell defeated Sam Christopher (1050) and Don Norwood (800). Each took home $37.50. Fuerstman directed.
