=1st-4th in Lower Section of Bertucci's I Charlotte NC 7-16-05: A grand total of 23 chessplayers from hither and yon travelled to the Queen City in order to participate in Bertucci's I. (Believe it or not, Bertucci's Italian Restaurant is actually better than Billy's! The simi-private playing area was spacious and well lighted, the traditional Italian cuisine was delicious, reasonably priced and far more than I could eat, and the servers and management made us feel very welcome.)  In the Top Section,
returning to CCC
competition, with 3 seconds left, Expert Michael "See You Are; See You Are
You" Curcuru (2114)
miraculously survived a Rd:1

yielded a Draw to Randy
"Wheels" Wheeless (1707) in Rd:2 and defeated Joshua
"Moo" Mu (1677) in Rd:3 each
winning $80. In the Lower
Section, =1st-4th were Kaled "the Alphabet" Abdelkefi (1560), Jeff "Chief" McAdams (1520), Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1477) and Colette "Wheels" Wheeless (1587) each
