Wendy XLVI Begins; Fuerstman
Leads Top!
Charlotte,
NC 6-4-03: A
rather impressive turnout of 42
of the greater Charlotte area's most competitive calculators
including a strong contengent from Columbia, S.C. converged upon
this holy temple of higher thinkers more commonly known as Wendy's in order
to participate in Rd:1 of Wendy's XLVI.  In
the Top Section, leading the tournament (for the first
time in Lord knows how long), NM Leland "El-Duce" Fuerstman
(2017) welcomed newcomer Michael Tripp (1855) to the CCC by squeezing out
an OCB ending to lead with 1-0(See
Game 0304). Meanwhile,
the CCC's #1 player, current NC State Champion, NM Frankie
"Blitz" Newton (2309) battled through a tactical encounter versus
NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2000) which remarkably produced a Draw(See
Game 0303). That same result was
posted after the contest between  SC
Expert Keith "Chuck" Eubanks (2060) and  Patrick
"Flanker"
McCartney
(1931). In the "B" Section, Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic
(1668) vanquished Paul "Survivalist" Lucas (1676), the good Reverend Bernard
"King" Baker (1679) read the last rights to "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger
(1701) and Danesh "DD"
Dadgar (1624) manhandled upstart Joshua
"Moo" Mu (1516). In the
"C" Section,
Michael "the Savage"
Savage
(1466) savagely beat up on "CEO" Mike Isner (1487), Jim "Sticks"
Ulaky (1407) played a drum roll on Kermon Joel Lane (1487) and newcomer
Dino PeBenito (Unr) edged out Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1405). In the
