NEWS & VIEWS 2-26-04
By NM Leland Fuerstman Newton Still Leads Top; Davenport?! "B"; Singleton, "C"; Claitt 4-0 in Lower Section of Wendy's LIII - "Technical Chess" Voted Down Charlotte,
NC 2-25-04: A moderate turnout of
34
"non-technical" chessplayers who have mistakenly continued to adhered to
the conventional principles of strategy and tactics gathered at
this tribunal of chess authority more commonly known as Wendy's in order
to participate in Rd:4 of Wendy's LIII. (The meeting
was called to order and a motion was voted upon and passed 33-1
that
"there
will be no 'technical chess' played
at the CCC"!? Lone dissenter,
Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi
said, "...I am offended; some of my best friends play 'technical' chess!")  In
the Top Section, the CCC's #1 player, NM Frankie "Blitzin"
Newton
(2263) having been denied the right to play "technical chess," was only
able to Draw against non-technical chessplayer NM Leland "El-Jefe"
Fuerstman
(2019) but now leads his closest rivals by a full point with 3-1.
In addition, NM Daniel "Schlechter" Liu (2036) split the
point with Jon "Cigars" Pietras (1801). (Note:
Due to a well organized boycott, all of the "technical chess" players in
the Top Section were forbidden to participate in this round
by their union leader!) In the "B" Section, Jeremy
"Irons" Davenport (1603), who received a rare "field promotion"
during the course of this tournament from the "C"s to the "B"s,
played
Danesh "DD" Dadgar (1712) to a Draw to lead with 3-1.
Meanwhile, Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1618) organized
a coup' against Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1647), Ankit "Butch" Jivan
(1647) did the cymbals thing to Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (1607) and "Iron"
Mike Eberhardinger (1704) was felled by Tarokh "the Oak"
Taefi
(1736). In the "C" Section, West Charlotte High School Chess champions
Coach  Spencer
"Jazzman" Singleton (1501) ran a touchdown on Algie "Crumpler" Clyburn
(1500) to lead with 3.5-.5. In addition,
Tim
"the Twin" Chen (1595) debunked Kert "the Oracle" Edward
(1543), founder of the newly formed "Tiger
Chess Club"Tony
"Tiger"
Hicks (1371) mauled Tom "the Twin" Chen (1495),
Kevin
"Spacey"
Huang (1453) split the point with Kaled "the Alphabet"
Abdelkefi
(1525) as did likewise Clyde "the Glyde" Plyler (1503) with
Winfred
"Guns"
Gatlin (1510). In the Lower
Section, vying for the
$100 bonus!,
Shawn "Penn" Claitt (1269) outplayed Joshua "Moo" Mu (1223)
to remain as the only 4-0 in the tournament.
("No;
I am not going to pair myself with Claitt next week...unless he requests
it!) Other Lower Section winners were: Doyle W.
Dewbre, Glen
"Taco"
Bell,
Hassan
"HH" Hashemloo and
Ilgin "the Mad Turk" Birsan. All
results may be viewed in
"Current
Crosstable." Visit the CCC Message
Board and speak to us!! All welcome new member Jim
Pendergrass. (Good Luck to Michael "the
Savage"Savage who is in Russia participating in a chess symposium and tournament.
Sources close to Savage report that he may defect?!) Next
Smokehouse Saturday, 3-20.

Curcuru, Mabe Share Top Honors;
Edward, Green Middle; Xin Lower Section of Smokehouse XLVIII
Charlotte,
NC 2-21-04: A moderate
turnout of 27
competitors from North and South Carolina journied to the Queen City
in order to participate in Smokehouse XLVIII.  In
the Top
Section, Expert Michael "See You Are; See
You Are You" Curcuru (2070) dispatched of Ken "the Terrible" Ivens
(1744) and the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1851) before sharing
the final point with Chris "the Babe" Mabe (1976) who registered
wins against Mark Sturman (1750) and NM Leland "El-Jefe" Fuerstman (2019)
(who
for the second time in as many tries blundered away an equal game due to
a minor distraction).
Each scored 2.5-.5
and won $75.  The
Middle
Section
honors were shared by Kert "the Oracle"
Edward (1543) who
defeated Algie "Crumpler" Clyburn (1500) and Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1647)
prior to agreeing to Draw with "Mean" Matthew Green (1674) who got
by Hayes "Let's Go" Bowling (1785) and Matthew "REman" Smith (1700). Each
scored 2.5-.5
and won $75.
In the Lower Section,  Samuel
"Shinn" Xin (536?) took a Bye and then rattled off wins against
Patrick McGann (1140) and a disgusted Shawn "Penn" Claitt (1269) to score
3-0
and pocket $50.
(Claitt
should be admired for his restraint in not punching a 6 year old!?)
