NEWS & VIEWS 9-25-03
By NM Leland Fuerstman
Three Lead Top; Baker, Dadgar
"B"; Gatlin "C"; Abdelkefi, Easterwood Lower Section of Wendy's XLIX
Charlotte,
NC 9-24-03: A rather dismal turnout of only
32
of of the Metrolina area's finest thinkers neglected voting (who
cares, they're all cut from the same cloth) and instead participated
in a far more important civic function-- Rd:2 of Wendy's
XLIX.
In the Top Section, Draws seemed to be the order of the day
with the CCC's #1 Player, 2003
NC State Champion NM Frankie "Blitz" Newton (2316) sharing
the point with (unofficially) newly crowned Expert Michael
"See You Are; See You Are You" Curcuru (2053) each now with 1.5-.5.
Meanwhile, equaling that score, Tom "Terrific" Waymouth (1900) registered
the only victory in the section with the assistance of kryptonite
of all things, over mild mannered Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1835). In addition,
NM Leland "Jefe" Fuerstman (2004) split the point with NM
Daniel
"Schlecter" Liu (2014) while Patrick "Flanker"
McCartney
(1985) did likewise with Jon "Cigars" Pietras (1800).
In the "B" Section, the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker
(1729) fought to a Draw versus Danesh "DD" Dadgar (1670)
to each lead with 1.5-.5. In
addition, Marnzell "Pat" Hand (1607) muted the trumpet of
Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1527), Jeremy "Irons" Davenport
(1604) made peace with Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic
(1712) and Michael "the Average" Savage (1689) shared the
point with Ken Ivens (1710). In the "C" Section, Winfred
"Guns" Gatlin (1410) melted the barrels against Kevin Huang (1433)(See
Game 0344) to lead with 2-0.
In addition, David "Dipper" Conard (1537) spit tobacco juice
on Ankit "Butch" Jivan (1543). In the Lower Section, Kaled
"the
Alphabet" Abdelkefi (1311) and Michael "Clint" Easterwood
(1174) defeated Glenn "Taco" Bell (1268) and Tony "the Tiger" Hicks (1327)
respectively to lead with 2-0. Other
Lower
Section
winners were: Iljin Birsan, Todd Essex, Kert Edward
and Hassan Hashemloo. All results may be viewed in "Current
Crosstable." All welcome new member Hudson
Tryon. Visit the CCC Message

Eubanks Wins Top; Ozherelyev,
Davenport, Hand Lower Section of Smokehouse XLIII
Charlotte,
NC 9-20-03: Twenty-two
competitors, some from parts unknown,
journied to the Queen City in order to participate in Smokehouse
XLIII.
In the Top Section, SC Expert Keith "Chuck" Eubanks
(2058) asked
no quarter and yielded none as he reduced the rank of Tim Rankin (1774),
beat up Ken "Beans" Baxter (1900) and finally overwhelmed team mate James
"Big" MacDougall (1789) to score 3-0
and pocket $100.
Clear 2nd Place with 2.5-.5
was Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1712)
who claimed $50.
In the Lower Section, Viktor "the Mad Ukrainian" Ozherelyev
(1614), Marnzell "Pat" Hand (1607) and Jeremy "Irons"
Davenport (1604) each scored 2.5-.5
and took home $50. To
