Adjournments Slow Top Section Returns; DeBell Posts Only Perfect Score in Wendy's XX

Charlotte, NC - 11-22-00: A rather light turnout of  only 29 participated in Rd:2, the festive pre-Thanksgiving round of Wendy's XX. Prior to the beginning of the round, special appreciation was shown to Dining Room Attendant "Mr. Sam" Pettus, for whom CCC Lower Section representative Alphonse Ashamalla collected almost $100! ("Thanks for pickin' up after us, Sam.")  In the Top Section, with the results incomplete, NM Leland Fuerstman (2027) and Patrick McCartney (1911) have assumed the lead with 1.5-.5 after a hard fought Draw (whereby the former player missed a win on move 16?) Meanwhile, co-frontrunner CCC Favorite Son 16 year old phenom Expert Justin Daniel (2106) has adjourned with West Virginia Open Champion Gary Newsom (2016) as have NM Frankie "Neutron Bomb" Newton (2236) and Garik "Outlaw" Wells (2106). In addition, NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) drew with David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1871). In the Middle Section, Jerome "BigGuy" DeBell (1456) upset Doug "Sky Millsaps (1644) to survive as the only player in the tournament with 2-0! (Adjournments notwithstanding). Also, in the Middle Section, David "the Bear" Griffin (1662) handled David Mangis (1454), D. Paul Jenkins (1582) got by Paul Lucas (1600), Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1489) played "taps" for Randy Hight (1455) and Greg "the Mad Ukrainian" Bunich (1664) has adjourned with Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1501). In the Lower Section, unless Alphonse "Amazing Al" Ashamalla (1274) wins his Rd:1 adjournment, three other players, Derek Smith, Lee "R&Bman" Richardson and Adam Clontz are tied for the lead with 1.5-.5. To view Ashamalla's recent encounter with Daryl Gordon (See Game 0154)  All results may be viewed in "Current Crosstable."

Champion NM James Mottonen (2150) who had beaten Patrick McCartney (1911) and NM Frankie Newton (2199). Each took home $75.  In the Middle Section, for the third consecutive time,Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1501) took clear 1st Place with a perfect 3-0! winning $100 cash. Clear 2nd Place was Jon Pietras (1824) with 2.5-.5 winning $50. In the Lower Section, Jim Ulaky, Adam Clontz and Marc Moreno were =1st-3rd scoring 2.5-.5 each winning $60. Fuerstman directed.
