Newton, Liu Lead Top; Baker "B"; Gatlin "C"; Abdelkefi Lower Section of Wendy's XLIX 
Charlotte, NC 10-8-03: An extremely healthy crowd of 44 of the Metrolina area's most talented wood pushers gathered at this arena of mental jousters more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:4 of Wendy's XLIX. (Unfortunately, on this evening the peace was disturbed somewhat, first by the loud music and then by the voluminous repartee displayed by the employees...this Director will be discussing these issues tomorrow with higher management. UPDATE: UpperManagement has promised a more quiet and pleasant atmosphere next week!) In the Top Section, the CCC's #1 player, current NC State Champion, NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2280) managed to squeeze out a tactical win versus NM Leland "Jefe" Fuerstman (2028) and share the lead at 3-1 with NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2014) who survived an extra piece vs pawns ending against Michael "See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2082) (See Game 0348). Meanwhile, Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1980) clobbered Michael Kliber (1900) while DinoPeBenito (1956p) split the point with Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2004) as did Jon "Cigars Pietras (1800) with mild mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1835). In the "B" Section, the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1729) surged ahead of the pack with a convincing win over Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1712) to lead with 3.5-.5. In addition, Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi (1756) deported Jeremy Davenport (1604), KenIvens (1710) did a terrible thing to Danesh "DD" Dadgar (1723) and Dave "Richman" Richards (1665) made his day against Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan (1657). In the "C" Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1410) unloaded on Tim "the Chin" Chen (1514) to lead with 4-0.(See Game 0347) In addition, Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1528) played taps for Algie "Van" Clyburn (1500), Kert Edward (1995p) bested Michael "Y" Shoup (1531) and Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (1500) made peace with Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1505). In the Lower Section, Kaled "the Alphabet" Abdelkefi (1322) dunked on Clyde "the Glyde" Plyler (1413) to maintain a perfect 4-0. Other Lower Section winners were: Todd Essex, Tony "the Tiger" Hicks, Joe "SticksJr" Ulaky, ShawnClaitt, Doyle "Cards" Dewbre, Sean "the Villain" Villone, newcomer Dave Privette 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.
