Mouzon Takes Early Lead in Top; F. Mu, Callahan Middle; Ashamalla Lower Section of Wendy's XLI
Charlotte, NC  12-18-02: Thirty-four chessplayers from hither and yon dressed as Santa Claus arrived by sleigh and raindeerto this festive tabernacle of competitors more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:2 of Wendy's XLI. In the Top Section, NM Harold "Wyn" Mouzon (2-0) (2194) received an early Christmas gift from NM Leland "El-Presidente" Fuerstman (1-1) (2064) {who attempted to gobble down too much holiday candy with ...17 gf??, then things really got ugly?!} to lead with 2-0. Meanwhile, the CCC's #1 active player, NC State Champion NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (1.5-.5) (2257) used Patrick "Flanker" McCartney's (.5-1.5) (1982) position as a pinãta! Chris "the Babe" Mabe (1.5-.5) (1887) blasted one over the head of Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (.5-1.5) (1739) (See Game 0280)  and CCC Favorite Son, 16 year old phenom Expert Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1-0) (2114) (who just tied for =1st-2nd Place at the National Grade Championships in Atlanta last weekend!) used just enough kryptonite to defeat Clarke "Kent" Brosi (0-2) (1853). In the Cruiserweight Division, Deneil "Sean" Brazell (1-1) (1759) beat down Michael "the Lip" Lipkin (0-1) (1673). In the Middle Section, Frank "Moo" Mu(2-0) (1675) obviously used some kind of government agent voodoo on Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1-1) (1614) and Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan (2-0) (1452) deported Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian" Ozherelyev (1-1) (1602) to each lead with 2-0. In addition, Mark "Chessman" Johnson (1.5-.5) (1471) earned a hard fought half point versus Jonathan Munnell (1.5-.5) (1453), the good Reverend Bernard "JoeDon" Baker (1-1) (1567) blew the fuses of Nathan "TechDude" Eerenberg (0-2) (1571), Michael "twist &" Shoup (1-1) played taps for Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (0-1) (1429), "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1-1) (1616) eclipsed Brandon "Starr" Brown (.5-1.5) (1479) and Danesh "DD" Dadgar (1-0) (1602) defeated Joshua "Moo" Mu (1-1) (1217). In the Lower Section, CCC Player Representative Alphonse "the Fonz" Ashamalla (2-0) (1371) upstaged Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (0-1) (1352) to lead with 2-0. Other Lower Section winners were: Winfred "Guns" Gatlin, Ankit "Butch" Jivan and Duncan "Chester" McLaughlin. All results may be viewed in the "Current Crosstable."

Jurjevic, Mabe Share Top Honors; Eberhardinger Perfect in Lower Section of Smokehouse XXXIV
Charlotte, NC 12-21-02: A rather moderate  turnout of 18 indefatigable chessplayers participated in Smokehouse XXXIV. 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), NM Joseph Jurjevic (2154) shared the point with Kenneth J. Baxter (1900) in Rd:1 before logging in victories versus Deneil "Sean" Brazell (1746) and Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (2114) while Chris "the Babe" Mabe (1886) drew Expert Tapia (2114) in Rd:1 then defeated Robert C. Moore (1700) and Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1853) to share =1st-2nd with a score of 2.5-.5 and take home $75. The Lower Section was dominated by "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1600) who reeled off wins versus James MacDougall (1696), Mark "Chessman" Johnson (1486) and the good Reverend Bernard "JoeDon" Baker (1575) to score a perfect 3-0 and take home $80. Honorable mention goes to Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1853) who upset NM Fuerstman (2064) and Expert Keith Eubanks (1997) in Rds: 1 & 2.
