Oblitas Takes Top
Honors; Eberhardinger Middle; Singleton, McAdams Lower Section of
Billy's II
Charlotte
NC 3-19-05: A rather strong turnout of 28 of the Metrolina
area's most courageous competitors converged upon Billy's Restaurant
in order compete in Billy's II.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the
friendly
and professional wait staff and management, extraordinary reasonably
priced cuisine and modern sports bar design of the recently renovated
facility.
(Playing in a completely silent, upstairs private room seems to be a
welcome change, as well). In the Top Section
taking clear 1st Place, the
CCC's new #1 player, International
Master Carlomagno Oblitas (2493),
originally from Peru and now a resident of Charlotte, in Rd:1 sacrificed 2 pawns in a book
line "c3" Sicilian and then proceeded to pick NM Leland "El-guappo"
Fuerstman's (2034) position apart like a crab. In Rd:2 playing the defense, the good IM sent Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe
(2102) packing and in the final round he disposed of Patrick "Fabio"
McCartney (1941) to score 3-0 and
pocket $100.
Kudos to McCartney who in
rounds 1 & 2 had upset SC icon NM Klaus Pohl (2200) (See Game 0464)
and NM Daniel
"Johnny" Tapia (2197) respectively! Equal 2nd-4th
were Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1941), NM Klaus Pohl (2200) and Matthew "Hoekstra" Green (1895) each with 2-1 winning $17. In the Middle Section, "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1706) scored a
perfect 3-0
to take clear 1st Place and
win $100.
Equal 2nd-5th were Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1667), Don "Trump" Hofer (1585), Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1627) and Josh "the Law" Lawson (1563) each with 2-1 winning $12.50. In the Lower Section, =1st-2nd Place was shared by Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1499) and Jeff McAdams (1537) each with 2.5-.5
winning $60.
To observe all results see (Crosstable). See you at Billy's
III, April 16.
