Daniel Takes Early Lead in Wendy's XXIII
Charlotte, NC - 3-7-01: Thirty mental jousters abandoned their TV's and themselves sought to become "survivors" as they participated in Rd:2 of Wendy's XXIII. In the Top Section, possibly because of the new time control, NM Frankie "Fritz" Newton (2216) was only able to manage a Draw against Armin Burghart (2015) slipping one full point behind recently crowned N.C. State High School Champion (5-0!) CCC Favorite Son 17 year old phenom Expert Justin Daniel (2113) who soundly whooped-up on NM Leland "Czar" Fuerstman (2020) {If only my "vision" were equal to my rating!} to lead with 2-0. Meanwhile, NM John "Night-train" Lane (2100) split the point with NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) while Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1962) did the same with Clarke Brosi (1851). In order to view one of McCartney's recent games  (See Game 0168)  In the Cruiserweight Division David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1858) bested Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1725). In the Middle Section, D. Paul Jenkins (1576) turn the tables on Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1587) while "CEO" Mike Isner (1429) upset David T. Richards (1705) to each lead with 2-0. In addition, Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1512) Drew with Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1454). In the Lower Section, Frank "Chessman" Johnson (1300) and Alphonse "Amazing Al" Ashamalla (1302) bested Samuel Christopher (1041) and Frank Mu (970) respectively to lead with 2-0.  Other Lower Section winners were: Ernest Sharif, Euphemia Mu, Albert Rowland, Randy Hunter and Michael "You Know You Make Me Wanna" Shoup.  All results may be viewed in "Current Crosstable." (We now begin at 7:30pm sharp! LF). See ya' at Smokehouse XIII - March 17!


Newton and Pohl Share Top Honors; DeBell Perfect "Again" in Lower Section of Smokehouse XII
Charlotte, NC - 2-17-01: Twenty-four real men disguised as chessplayers participated in Smokehouse XII. In the Top Section, NM Frankie "Fritz" Newton (2202) dispatched of  Patrick "Goose-egg" McCartney (1961) and David "T" Richards (1700) before agreeing to a final round Draw with SM Klaus Pohl (2236) whose prayers to Caissa were apparently answered!  Pohl defeated fellow countryman Armin Burghart (2020) and CCC Favorite Son 17 year old phenom Expert Justin Daniel (2122). Each won $75.  In the Lower Section, $100 cash was paid to Jerome "Bouncer" DeBell (1549) who has now performed back-to-back "hat tricks" with wins over D. Paul Jenkins (1608), Jim "Sticks" Ulaky (1195) and Marnzell Hand (1600). Tied for 2nd-4th with 2-1 were D. Paul Jenkins, Marnzell Hand and Jared Morse each winning $16.33. Five dollar "credits" were earned by F. Johnson, J. Ulaky, R. Morse, D. Dadgar, Joe Feiler & R. Hunter. Fuerstman Directed.
