Wendy's XV Begins With Bulging Top Section; Record Turnout Predicted!

Twenty-eight of the Metrolina area's most  creative thinkers forwent the redundancy of watching men bounce a ball up and down on a wooden floor for the more productive activity of cleverly moving wooden chess pieces about as they competed in Rd:1 of Wendy's XV. In the Top Section, which consisted of 10 players, Team Salisbury kicked proverbial ass as Co-captain Greg "Hornblower" Hall (1863) upset NM Garrick "Outlaw" Wells (2171) while with the Black pieces, team mate David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1800)  manhandled Patrick "Don't Call Me Parvenue" McCartney (1917) for the second time in as many tries. (See Game 0119)  Also in the Top Section, wins were turned in by NM Leland Fuerstman (2058) who edged out returnee to CCC competition Jeff Rayfield (1854) (See Game 0120)  and NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) who outplayed Michael Curcuru (1805). In addition, NM "WWF" Frankie Newton II (2193) has adjourned against Gary Newsom (1907).  In the Cruiserweight Division, Jon "Infinity's End & Cigars Etc" Pietras (1754) has adjourned with Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1572). In the Middle Section, Darrell Spencer (1327) dispatched of Brandon Brown (1344) while with the Black pieces, Slobodan Sinanovic (1493) took care of Thomas "Turnaround" Hayes (1467).  In the Lower Section, wins were registered by David Roman, Lester Mack, Daniel Tapia, *Jim Ulaky, *Don Norwood and Michael "You Know You Make Me Wanna" Shoup. All results may be viewed in "Current Crosstable"A warm welcome to new CCC member Jeff Rayfield. (* denotes past students of the FSC.)


Newton Vanquishes Field; D. Spencer Conquers Lower Section In Smokehouse IV
Eighteen chess energumens (including 4 certified chessmasters) neglected mowing their lawns or even spending time with their families at the lake and instead chose to participate in an organized chess competition: Smokehouse IV. In the Top Section, recently crowned National Master "WWF" Frankie Newton II (2202) asked no quarter and yielded none as he scored a perfect 3-0  defeating NM Klaus Pohl (2222) (from Greenville, S.C.) in the ultimate round to take home $100 cash.  Clear 2nd Place was captured by a relentless NM Daniel Liu (2007) who scored 2.5-.5 winning $50 after a lively Rd:3 encounter with NM Leland Fuerstman (2053) which ended in the last minute of the sudden death time control. In the Lower Section, Darrell Spencer (1399) outdistanced the field with 2.5-.5 taking home $80.  Equal 2nd-3rd were Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1554) and Jim Ulaky (1100) each pocketing $20. The next CCC Saturday 3 rounder,  Smokehouse V, is scheduled for June 3, 00. See ya' there! LF
