Charlotte, NC 5-16-01: Three dozen of the Metrolina area's most creative thinkers involved themselves in a bit of mental jousting on Wednesday evening as they particpated in Rd:2 of Wendy's XXV.

Also, in the Top Section, CCC Favorite Son, NC High School Champion Expert Justin Daniel (2145) trails the leaders by 1/2 point after defeating NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2022) while David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1887) skillfully outmaneuvered Patrick "Sourgrapes" McCartney (1895) who, subsequently, complained of "too much noise."
