Top Honors in Smokehouse XXXI Charlotte,
NC 9-21-02: A reasonably strong turnout
of 31 of the
most gregarious chessplayers from
at least 3 different states participated in Wendy's XXXI.
In the Top Section, which was noticably absent of most of
Charlotte's top players, (some speculated that the fear of losing was
the reason) NM Leland "El-Presidente" Fuerstman (2000)
won a pretty pawn up OCB ending versus David "Kamikaze" Jaap (1829) (See
Game 0254) and survived a lively
Sicilian style skirmish against Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1836) before agreeing
to a quick GM draw with co-winner Patrick "Flanker" McCartney
(1979).
McCartney
bested Jean Phillippe Smits (1750) and Keith Eubanks (1996) to score 2.5-.5
and pocket $75.
The Middle Section witnessed some intricate surgery performed
by Dr. Gerard Sztyber (1626)
who scored a perfect 3-0
and took home $100.
Clear 2nd Place was taken by Kwadwo Achempong (Unr) who scored
2.5-.5
and won $50.
In the Lower Section,
"Prince" Albert Roland (1247) scored a perfect 3-0
and for his efforts received $100.
Clear 2nd Place was captured by Lee Nevitt (1109) {who has gained
over 600 rating points! in the last 8 months and in this event defeated
upstart Deneil "Sean" Brazell (1776)}to
score 2.5-.5
and take home $50.
