NEWS & VIEWS 12-24-03
By NM Leland Fuerstman Newton Wins Christmas Money in Top!; Dadgar Wins "B"; Edward "C"; Hashemloo Lower Section of Wendy's LI Charlotte,
NC 12-23-03: A grand total of 60
of the Metrolina area's most avid chess dwarfs decended the chimney of
Santa's workshop more commonly known as Wendy's
in order to participate in the finale of Wendy's LI.
In the Top Section,  winning
his unprecedented 32nd Wendy's Title!, the CCC's #1
player, NM Frankie "Blitzin" Newton (2266) somehow survived
a busted middlegame (See Game 0364)
versus NM Daniel "I'm playing for a win" Liu (2040) and prevailed in the
Rooks vs Queen ending. Said Newton, "If he had offered me a Draw,
I probably would have taken it!" Nevertheless,
Newton scored
a perfect 5-0 and pocketed the $100Christmas
Bonus!
Clear 2nd Place with 3.5-1.5
was Dino "Marcos" PeBenito (1832) who, with 22 seconds left
versus the good Reverend Bernard "Bman" Baker (1859) requested
a clock with "5 second delay," thereby relinquishing his right to win?!
(I
did not know that!?)
In addition, NM Leland "Humbug" Fuerstman (2012) ditched
his Queen, but somehow still chopped down Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi (1756)(See
Game 0365). In the "B" Section, Danesh
"DD" Dadgar (1706) made peace with "Iron"
Mike Eberhardinger
(1697)  to
take 1st Place with 3.5-1.5.
Meanwhile, Jon "Cigars" Pietras (1765) won a tough OCB ending
against S.C.'s Vijay Sethuraman (1675) and Algie "Crumpler" Clyburn
(1500) upset Robert C. Moore (1700). In the "C" Section, Kert
"the Other Side" Edward (1527) performed an exorcism on Shawn "Crusher"
Claitt (1310) to finish 1st Place with 3.5-.5.
In addition, Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1525) split the point with
Jeremy
"Irons" Davenport (1577). In the Lower Section,
Hassan "HH" Hashemloo (1244) edged out the field with
3-2.
Other Lower Section winners were: Parandaman Medampalle
(Unr)
and newcomer Dave Eadie. All results may be viewed in
"Current
Crosstable." Visit the CCC Message
Board and speak to us!! Next Smokehouse Saturday,
1-17.

"the Villain" Villone
(1059)  clicked
off wins against the good Reverend James McKinley Williams (Unr), Algie

and win $30.
