Newton Takes Top; Lee "B"; Forehand "C"; Kohlhepp, Shirlen Lower Section of Wendy's LXVI
Charlotte, NC 6-1-05:  A grand total of 51 of the greater Charlotte area's most formidable chess players gathered at this mecca of champions more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Wendy's LXVI. In the Top Section, though he met stiff resistance in the form of one Jonathan "the Enforcer" Munnell (1768), with little more than a minute left on his clock, the CCC's #2 player, the pride of Crouse, NC, NM Frankie "Neutrino" Newton (2295) AKA "the Gladiator"
skewered a Rook with his Bishop and prevailed to take yet  another Wendy's Title with 4.5-.5 and collect $100. In addition, Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2137) blundered a whole Rook on move 16 to NM Leland "El-Perro" Fuerstman (2000) but kept playing anyway...!?! (Why? Why?) and Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1998) defeated Thomas "Dolby" Paradis (1832). In the "B" Section, Laura "Karate Kid" Lee (1745) edges her way closer to Class "A" with a resounding victory over Ken "the Terrible" Ivens (1736) scoring 4.5-.5 and winning Free Entry to Billy's V on June 18. Meanwhile, Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1660) outclassed Octavius "0-0" Obey (1526), NCCA Vice President Randy "Wheels" Wheeless (1662) made peace with "Sponge" Bob Moore (1700), Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1683) split the point with Amelia "Wheels" Wheeless (1617) and Don "Trump" Hofer (1605) yielded a Draw to Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev  (1531). In the "C" Section, David "Haircut" Forehand (1541) demonstrated his superiority over the field with a final round win over Ilgin "the Mad Turk" Birsan (1424) scoring 4.5-.5 and winning Free Entry to Billy's V on June 18. In addition, Champion Homeschoolers Coach Keith "Sherlock" Holmes (1438) solved the case against Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1496), Ervon "Wooden" Nichols (1473) stole the show against Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1511) and Samuel "Reshevsky" Xin (1445) outplayed Copeland Blackwell (1145).

Charlotte NC 5-14-05:  
A stronger  turnout of 28 of the Metrolina area's most courageous competitors converged upon Billy's Restaurant in order compete in Billy's IV.
Every player to a man thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and professional wait staff and management, extraordinary reasonably priced cuisine and modern sports bar design of the recently renovated facility.

Clear 2nd Place with 2.5-.5 was Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1997) of Charlotte who pocketed $50. {Honorable mention to 15 year old Laura Lee (1710) who upset Matthew Green (1912) and Thomas Paradis (1840) in the first two rounds!}  In the Middle Section, =1st-2nd were Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1633) of Charlotte and Josh "the Law" Lawson (1688) of Greensboro each with 2.5-.5 winning $75. In the Lower Section, =1st-2nd was shared by Erik-Henning Thiede (1450) of Mooresville and Tony "the Tiger" Hicks (1333) of Salisbury each with 2.5-.5 winning $60.
