CCC NEWS & VIEWS 3-18-04
 Four Lead Top; Taefi "B"; Eadie "C"; Mitchell, Katz Lower Section on Wendy's LIV
Charlotte, NC 3-17-04:  A moderate turnout of 40 chess players dressed in leprechaun outfits gathered at this arena of mental jousters more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:2 of Wendy's LIV. (Just prior to the round, the Manager and this TD witnessed a rather heated  discussion between two of our strongest Experts over a speed chess game of all things...go figure!?) In the Top Section, the CCC's #1 player, NM Frankie "Blitzin" Newton (2242) squared off with CCC Favorite Son and (for the 3rd year in a row!) N.C. Scholastic Champion Candidate Master Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (2157) the result of which was Draw. Pacing the leaders with 1.5-.5 is NM Leland "Premier Hombre" Fuerstman (2000) who agreed to a "quick" Draw (I mean like, a really quick Draw) with NM Daniel "Schlechter" Liu (2037). In addition, Michael "See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2056) won a tough ending versus Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2019) (See Game 0384) {who incidentally took clear 1st Place last weekend in Salisbury with 4.5-.5!}, Todd "Flower Power" Trower (2017) executed a winning attack against Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (2011) and Tom "Terrific" Waymouth (2005) got by Frank Mu (1818). In the "B" Section, Tarokh "the Oak" Taefi (1729) was overheard mumbling, "Make my day, Punk" as he riddled Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan (1664) to lead with 2-0Meanwhile, Mark "Shaken, not" Sturman (1709) demonstrated a rather clever conclusion versus Michael "the Savage" Savage (1686), Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1632) handed a loss to Marnzell "Pat" Hand (1600), Jeremy "Irons" Davenport (1641) split the point with Ankit "Butch Jivan (1649) and Danesh "DD" Dadgar (1759) ("Please don't make me play these kids!?") yielded a Draw to Tim "the Twin" Chen (1590). In the "C" Section, Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1492) prevailed after a rather complicated encounter with  Clyde "the Glyde" Plyler (1537) to lead with 2-0. In addition, Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1533) played "taps" for Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1524), Kevin "Costner" Huang (1441) prevailed over Jon "Phthisis" Hudson (Unr) and David "Dipper" Conard (1589) squeeked by Samuel "Shinn" Xin (836).  In the Lower Section, Jeff Mitchell and Marty "Fritz" Katz lead with 2-0. Other Lower Section winners were, Joshua "Moo" Mu, Todd Essex, Ervon "Wooden" Nichols, and Ilgin "the Mad Turk" Birsan. All results may be observed on the "Current Crosstable."All welcome new member Nate Bailey. Next Smokehouse this Saturday, 3-20. Editor Needs Games; Please E-mail to: lelandfue@yahoo.com

Equaling their 2.5-.5 score was Expert Michael "See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2056) who defeated the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1851), Drew with Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2019) finally prevailed against veteran NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2036) each winning $60! In the Lower Section, Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1492), 49th ranked on the list of 11 year olds in the Nation Kevin "Costner" Huang (1441) and 77th ranked on the list of 15 year olds in the Nation Matthew "the Bean" Green (1705) each scored 2.5-.5 and pocketed $50.
