quickly Drew. (1 e4 e5 2 d4 ed 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 Bc4 Nf6 5 0-0 Ne4
6 Re d5 7 Nc3!!= Two pawns down and White hangs yet another piece!; actually,

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

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.
