"Night Train" Transports "Neutron Bomb" To Final Destination; "Chessman" Vies for $100 Bonus!! in Wendy's XXVI

Charlotte, NC 7-11-01: A whopping thirty-eight of the Charlotte area's most notorious chess energumens downed their "whoppers" and participated in Rd:4 of Wendy's XXVI. In the Top Section, leader NM John "Night-Train" Lane (2095) could only manage a Draw versus NM Daniel "Deep" Liu (2011) allowing the CCC's #1 Player, NM  Frankie "Neutron Bomb" Newton II (2190), who defeated NM Leland "Czar" Fuerstman (2027) from a botched draw which featured two time scrambles, to equal the leader's 3-1 score.  Also, in the Top Section, newly crowned "Expert" Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (2001) administered a lethal dose of kryptonite to mild mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1808) while with the Black pieces, David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1864) ethnically cleansed Slobodan Sinanovic (1600). In the Middle Section, Doug "Sky" Millsaps (1668) handed Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1474) his head while Marnzell Hand (1600) bested "CEO" Mike Isner (1455) and Brandon "Esq.Jr" Brown (1439) initiated newcomer David Lloyd (Unr).  In addition, Paul Lucas (1600) beat Paul Calloway (1600) while Danesh "the Mad Iranian" Dadgar (1453) split the point with Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1562). In the Lower Section, Frank "Chessman" Johnson (1270) will attempt to pocket a $100 Bonus next week after having realed off his 4th consecutive win over Charles Blackwood (1382) in Rd:4. Other Lower Section winners were: Cody Oyama, Euphemia Mu, Frank Mu, Todd Essex, Alphonse Ashamalla, Kevin Chu and Joe Ulaky. All results may be viewed in the "Current Crosstable."  All welcome new CCC members Laura Wagner, Robert Broadbent and David Lloyd. (We now begin at 7:30pm sharp! LF).  Next Smokehouse Saturday July 21. Be there! (Editor Needs Games; Please E-mail to lelandf@juno.com)

In the Top Section, SM Klaus Pohl (2252) from Greenville, S.C. handled countryman Dr. Armin "Hammer" Burghart (2018) in Rd:1 before being slowed by NM Leland "Czar" Fuerstman (2034) in the penultimate round. (See Game 0184)  In the final round Pohl eeked out a win from a R&P ending versus CCC's #1 player NM Frankie Newton (2195) to take clear 1st place with 2.5-.5 winning $80. Equal 2nd-3rd with 2-1 and winning $20 were Newton who defeated Gary Newsom (1975) in Rd:1 and Patrick "Flanker" McCartney (1971) in Rd:2 and Fuerstman who defeated Jeff Rayfield (1867) in Rd:1, Drew Pohl (2252) in Rd:2 and agreed to a "Draw by Reputation" to Newsom in the final round.
