By NM Leland Fuerstman Newton 4-0 in Top; Dadgar Still Leads "B"; Gatlin "C"; 5 Players with 2? in Lower Section of Wendy's LI Charlotte,
NC 12-17-03: An even lighter turnout of only
28 of the Charlotte area's most constructive calculators converged
upon this laboratory of chess scientists more
commonly known

In the Top Section, leading with 4-0
and vying for the $100 Bonus, the CCC's
#1 player, NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2266) literally went
into "blitz mode" in the last few seconds of his encounter with rising
star, Expert Michael "See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2043) who
after having defended to the hilt, walked into mate!?  Meanwhile,
NM Leland "El-Moron" Fuerstman (2012) blundered away a clearly winning
advantage versus Dino "Marcos" PeBenito (1864) (Merry
Christmas, Dino!) while Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1986)
ground down Jon "Cigars" Pietras (1765)
and Jackie "Bman" Ryan (1700) got the best of Bernard "King"
Baker (1832). In the "B" Section, in spite of losing a controversial
R&P ending against Michael "the Animal" Savage (1675),
Danesh
"DD" Dadgar (1706) still leads with 2.5-1.5.  In
addition, Robert "C" Moore (1718) made his day against Chris
