By NM Leland Fuerstman
Wendy XLV Begins
Charlotte,
NC 5-1-03: "You
look around and members are dropping out every week... 208.150.66.22" according
to some confused miscreant on the "Message Board" a few weeks back, the
CCC fell just one player short of breaking the all time individual
round attendance record as 45 from
the greater Charlotte area and parts beyond participated in Rd:1
of Wendy's XLV. ("Considering the overflow last night,
I'm glad that all 130 members didn't
show up!")
In the Top Section, the CCC's #1 player, current NC State
Champion NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2300)
exacted a certain measure of revenge upon the player who halted his famous
win streak, NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) to score the only win in the Section.
Meanwhile, the
contests between Chris "the Babe" Mabe (1993) and NM John
"Night-Train" Lane
(2090) and NM Leland "El-Duce" Fuerstman (2017)
and Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1933) ended peacefully.
In the "B" Section, Jackie "Bman" Ryan (1790) manhandled
Tarokh Taefi (1724), Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1668)
boyhandled Frank "Moo" Mu (1711), Bobby "Duck" Waddell (1740)
out-thunk "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1701) and Daryl "Flash" Gordon
(1674) excommunicated the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1691). In
addition, a botched operation left the patient clinging to life with one
minute left on his clock as CCC Medical Advisor Dr. Gerard "the
Butcher" Sztyber (1769) split the point with "George C" Scott
Baldwin (1768) as did Jerome "Cookie Monster" DeBell
(1674) with Danesh "Schlecter" Dadgar (1624) who has assumed
NM Daniel "Deep" Liu's sobriquet following his
7th consecutive Draw in
CCC competition!! (Against much higher rated players). In the "C"Section,
"CEO" Mike Isner (1487) deported Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian"
Ozherelyev (1525), Chris "Dirty Harry Callahan (1572) spoiled
the birthday party of #1 in the Nation,
now 8 year old Joshua "Moo" Mu (1539)
(Happy
Birthday, Joshua!!) and Michael "the Savage" Savage (1420)
savagely beat Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1405). In the Lower
Section,
wins were submitted by Anikit "Butch"
Jivan,
William Dewbre,
Joe
Shirlen, David Conard,
Jared Morse, Glenn Bell
and
Richard "Gremlin" Tomlin. All results may be viewed in "Current
