Charlotte, NC 9-15-05:  A grand total of 55 of the Metrolina area's most creative calculators converged upon this festive arena where young couples fall in love more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Wendy's LXIX.
(Thanks to the generosity of honorable chess phil- anthropist SCCA President James MacDougall, in order to show his gratitude for the many CCC members who continue to participate in SCCA events, a drawing by lot was conducted whereby Patrick McCartney, Donald Hofer and NM Leland Fuerstman each won $100 cash!!) In the Top Section, the CCC's #2 player, the pride of Crouse, NC, NM Frankie "Neutrino" Newton (2301) AKA "the Gladiator," vaulting from a full point behind the field, actually finished a full point ahead of the field! after polishing off NM Leland "Perro Grande" Fuerstman (2003) in the final round. His score of 4-1 earned him $50 and Free Entry into Bertucci's III this Saturday, September 17. Equal 2nd-4th with 3 points were Fuerstman, Expert Chris "the Babe" Mabe (2162) and NM Justin "Dawg" Daniel (2192) who defeated Mabe in the final round. In addition, Gary "the Nuisance" Newsom (1987) somehow survived against "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger (1821) and Patrick "Fabio" McCartney (1989) outplayed Expert Shawn "Arlo" Pealer (2048). {Yes, the rumor is true; Patrick McCartney is engaged to marry Amanda Braband, and she has the ring to prove it!} In the "B" Section, despite the fact that she lost to Chris "Dirty Harry" Callahan (1773) in the final round, Laura "Karate Kid" Lee (1777) finished =1st-3rd Place with Ken "the not so Terrible" Ivens (1767) and Amelia "Wheels" Wheeless (1640) who split the point in the final each with 3-2. In addition, Jonathan "the Enforcer" Munnell (1785) used kryptonite on mild mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1808), Donald "Trump" Hofer (1635) fired Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1649) and Marty "Fritz" Katz (1745) made peace with Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1692). In the "C" Section, Dave "Ameen" Eadie (1586) took down leader 10 year old Samuel "Reshevsky" Xin (1461) to share =1st-2nd Place with 3-2. Meanwhile, Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1568) outmaneuvered Octavius "0-0" Obey (1497), Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1510) played taps for Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1458) and Colette "Wheels" Wheeless (1587) yielded a Draw to Ervon "Wooden" Nichols (1474). In the Lower Section, dispite the fact that he lost the final round to Copeland Blackwell (1129), Chris Kohlhepp (1283) shared =1st-2nd Place with Wei Xin (849) each with 4-1 winning Free Entry into Bertucci's III this Saturday, September 17.
