dubious start with a rare loss to Expert Shawn
"Arlo" Pealer (2048) in Rd:1, the CCC's #2 player, 2004 CCC Player of the Year, NM Frankie "Neutron" Newton

"Dragon" win over Gary "Sandbagger" Branton (1800) to finish =2nd-3rd with Tapia with 3-2 (See Game 0458). (Guys, our top players

here at the CCC!!). In addition, the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1801) outplayed NC Class "A"
icon Mike McHale (1857) while Ken

Share Top Honors; Thiede Lower Section of "Billy's I" Charlotte NC 2-19-05: A small group of 16 happy competitors surrounded by stock car memorabelia, reported to our new location and participated in Billy's I.  Almost everyone, to a man, thoroughly enjoyed the
atmosphere, friendly
and professional wait staff and management, extraordinary reasonably
priced cuisine and modern design of the recently renovated facility.
(Playing in a completely silent, upstairs private room seems to be a
rarity around here ). In
the Top Section, =1st-2nd Place was
taken by the CCC's #3
player, 2004
NC
Scholastic Champion, 2004
CCC Scholastic Player
of the Year NM Daniel
"Johnny" Tapia (2201) who
just unvailed his new website at www.danieltapia.
com, posting his second tournament
victory in as many weekends with a Rd:1
victory over Gary "Sandbagger" Branton (1800), a Rd:2 rout of Matthew "Hoekstra"
Green (1881) and a Rd:3
grandmaster Draw with co-champion Patrick
"Fabio" McCartney (1941). McCartney tamed Jerome
"Cookiemonster" DeBell (1667) in Rd:1
and upset NM Leland "El Moron" Fuerstman (2000) in Rd:2. Each scored 2.5-.5 and
pocketed $75. In the Lower Section, 13 year old Eric-Henning Thiede (1358) scored 2.5-.5 and
carried home the 1st Place
prize of $60.
Equal 2nd-3rd Place with 2-1 was
