Rangarajan, Tapia Share Top Honors in Green Market Championship *Quick Rated
Charlotte,  NC 9-11-04:  A cadre of 16 elite members of the CCC Honor Guard first paused for a moment of silence to remember our fellow Americans who lost their lives in the Twin Towers exactly 3 years ago, and then participated in the Green Market Championship. This one section open-air event, sponsored by Crown Communications, coincided with the Saturday Green Market with it's fresh vegetables, fruits, coffee, handy crafts, jewelry, etc. All players enjoyed "free" coffee,  bottled water, fresh baked muffins and giant cookies from Reid's Fine Foods! Save for a lively discussion with management about the DOGS in the playing area?!? (a City Ordinance prohibits animals from civic gatherings) this was a most enjoyable tournament for all. Sharing Top Honors with 3-0 were SM Karthik "Rajah" Rangarajan (Unr) who registered wins over "Dr." Phil Whittington (1470), Walter "Mitty" Overman (1473) and Chris "the Babe" Mabe (1858) and NM Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (1753) who defeated Joshua "Moo" Mu (1340), the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1666) and NM Leland "Premier Hombre" Fuerstman (2078). Each pocketed $75. To view complete crosstable, "Click Here". (Fuerstman directed)
