Happy Holidays!! - Wendy's XXI Begins
Charlotte, NC - 12-20-00: Twenty-six chessplayers dressed in Santa outfits shared the holiday cheer by competing in Rd:1 of Wendy's XXI. (The CCC Commissioners have joined in this spirit by increasing the bonus for a perfect score to $500!! !) In the Top Section, three players posted victories as NM Frankie "Neutron Bomb" Newton (2199) neutralized Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1911), NM Garrick "Outlaw" Wells (2016) slew David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1871) and Gary "Nuisance" Newsom (2016) smote Michael Curcuru (1750).  In addition, NM Leland Fuerstman (2027) could only manage a draw versus Jon "Infinity's End & Cigars Etc" Pietras (1824). In the Middle Section, Paul Lucas (1600) defeated Greg "the Mad Ukrainian" Bunich (1664), "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1658) beat Paul "Shuttleman" Calloway (1611), Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1571) upset David "the Bar" Griffin (1662) and Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1644) holds the edge in adjournment versus D. Paul Jenkins (1582).  In the Jr. Middleweight Division, with the Black pieces, Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1328) upset Carl McKern (1500). In the Lower Section, wins were posted by Nick "BamBam" Bambara, Copeland Blackwell and Alphonse "Amazing Al" Ashamalla. All results may be viewed in "Current Crosstable."


Newton Perfect in Smokehouse X; Morse Captures Lower Section
Charlotte, NC - 12-16-00: A total of 16 weekend warriors forwent shopping for Christmas/ Chanukah/Kwanza/Ramadan gifts and instead participated in Smokehouse X.  In the Top Section, taking home $100, NM Frankie "Neutron Bomb" Newton (2199) more closly represented "Scrooge" as he spoiled the Christmas Eves of  D. Paul Jenkins (1582), "Iron" Mike" Eberhardinger (1658) and CCC Favorite Son "Elect" Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1571). Clear Second Place winning $50 was Patrick McCartney (1923) with 2.5-.5. An amazing anomaly occurred when 14 year old Daniel "Johnny" Tapia claimed his first "Master scalp" after he upset 53 year old NM Leland Fuerstman (2027) in Rd:2.!?! (See Game 0156) The Lower Section was controlled by Rob Morse (1300) with 2.5-.5 winning $60. Second Place winning $30 was Frank Mu (900) with 2-1.  Fuerstman Directed.
