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"

Tapia
(1753) who defeated Joshua "Moo" Mu (1340), the good Reverend Bernard "King"

$75.
