Charlotte, NC 2-22-02: Almost three complete sections of a total of 29 chessplayers from various origins participated in Smokehouse XXXVI.

Equal 2nd-5th with 2-1 were NM Joseph Jurjevich, Keith Eubanks, Patrick McCartney and Chris Mabe (See Game 0289) each winning $12.50. In order to view NM Fuerstman's Rd:1 game versus Brosi (See Game 0290) In the Middle Section, perfect 3-0's were reported by two players. The good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1600) registered wins against Matthew Walker (1522), Mike Isner (1566) and Richard Stancil (1628) while James MacDougall (1728) defeated Mike Isner, William Slade (1533) and Sam Copeland (1784). Each pocketed $75. In the Lower Section, Michael "the Savage" Savage (1345) also scored 3-0 with wins over Kevin Connelly (1132), Frank "Chessman" Johnson (1520) and Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1447), wow!
