Charlotte, NC  3-19-03:  A new total players record of 65 aquatic travellers and revellers converged upon this sacred temple of higher thinkers more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Wendy's XLIII. In the Top Section, showing no signs of triskaidekaphobia, the CCC's #1 rated active player, current NC State Champion, NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2268) with 35 seconds left on his clock, squeezed a win out of what appeared to be an OCB draw versus Deneil "Sean" Brazell (1821) to capture his  record 26th Wendy's Title with 4.5-.5 and register a record 13th consecutive wins in CCC competition! Wow! Clear 2nd Place with 3.5-1.5 was NM John "NightTrain" Lane (2080) who split the final round point with Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (2033). In addition, NM Leland "El-Duce" Fuerstman (2033) did likewise with NM Daniel "Schlecter" Liu (2000). In the Cruiserweight Division,Jackie "Bman" Ryan (1862) could only manage a Draw against Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1637). In the Middle Section, the Good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1600) sold short against "CEO" Mike Isner (1566) to take clear 1st Place with 4.5-.5, his 2nd Middle Section victory in succession. Meanwhile, Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian" Ozherelyev (1600) turned the tables on Jim" Sticks" Ulaky (1442), Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1619) bested Robert C. Moore (1700), and Debell-Johnson, Richards-Dadgar and Gatlin-Callahan each ended peacefully. Taking 1st Place in the Lower Section, #3 in the country in his age group, 7 year old phenom Joshua "Moo" Mu (1424) quickly dispatched of Michael "the Savage" Savage (1360) to score 5-0 and take home a Bonus of $100.(See Game 0293) (According to the "Rating Calculator" Joshua Mu's new rating after this event is 1546!)

Charlotte, NC 3-22-02: Two complete sections of a total of 21 chessplayers from hither and yon participated in Smokehouse XXXVII. In the Top Section, which was noticably absent of many of Charlotte's top players, (some speculated that the fear of losing was the reason), NM Jairo Moreira (2339) ran off consecutive wins against Todd "Flowers" Trower (2021), NM Leland "El-Duce" Fuerstman (2033) and Keith "Chuck" Eubanks (2048) to score his second perfect 3-0 in as many attempts and pocket $75. Also finishing with 3-0 and winning $75 was darkhorse Jamie McGavran (1860) who registered wins against Patrick "Goose Egg" McCartney (2033), NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) and Todd "Flowers" Trower (2021). In the Middle Section, James "Frugal" MacDougall (1728) notched wins against Michael "the Savage" Savage (1421), Robert C. Moore (1700) and Dr. Gerard "the Butcher" Sztyber (1764) to file back-to-back 3-0's in Smokehouse competition and win $100. Clear 2nd Place with 2.5-.5 was Frank "Chessman" Johnson (1570) who took home $50. To view complete crosstable (Click Here)(Fuerstman directed) Next Smokehouse April 19. See ya' there!
