Greetings
from Charlotte N.C, USA, Earth to everyone out
there in cyberspace, and welcome to the Charlotte Chess Club website. We
have finally entered into the ultra modern age of instant communication.
In this column, I will strive to report a weekly synopsis of the previous
meeting to include current standings, annotated games, and other interesting
anecdotes for your reading, viewing, and listening pleasure.
Our goal is to eventually provide our members with a "realtime" site which
will instantly produce current information about chess with the touch of
a button! We welcome your comments and contributions

Adjournments Delay Crowning of Midtown VIII Champion;
Isner and McKern Dominate Middle Section, No one Dominates Lower Section!?
A
grand total of 44 different (but gifted) Charlotte Chess
Club members participated in Wendy's VIII which concluded Wednesday
evening. In the Top Section, depending upon the outcome of their adjournments,
three players still have a chance to grab the title. Tournament leader,
Expert W.F. "Frankie" Newton II (2155)  has
adjourned a relatively level position against upstart Justin Daniel (1921).
A win would guarantee him clear 1st Place. Meanwhile, Tarokh
Taefi (1757) defeated Patrick McCartney (1850) finishing with 3.5-1.5.
The only other player who can catch them is NM Leland Fuerstman
(2014) who maintains a winning edge in adjournments against Patrick McCartney
and J. Fred Wilson (1956) (View adjourned
position) . Also in the Top Section,
CCC members welcomed the return of the "Outlaw," NM Garrick Wells
(2254) who defeated
Todd "Flowers" Trower (1956). The Middle Section produced
two excellent results with Mike Isner (1485) edging out Helton Clavijo
(1287) while CCC Website Advisor Carl McKern (1500) outdistanced
Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1268) each scoring 4 points! In addition, CCC
Internal Affairs Committee Chairman Paul F. Lucas (1668) manhandled
Hungarian Superstar Andras Bader (1670). In the Lower Section, Helton
Clavijo (1287), Timothy Ruffin (1237), Joe Shirlen (1064)
and Brandon Brown (1181) each scored 3-2. For all results,
see Current Crosstable.
Guess Who? Wins Midtown XXIV
Can anyone
stop him? Seemingly not. CCC favorite son William
F. "Frankie" Newton II (2155)  kicked
butt again and pocketed $60. as he dispatched of Andras Bader (1670) and
Patrick McCartney (1763) before being slowed down by NM Leland Fuerstman
(2010) in the final round. For their second consecutive encounter,
Fuerstman, material up, could only manage to Draw. (That may be considered
a complement to his opponents good play). Placing equal 2nd-3rd were NM
Leland Fuerstman and Patrick McCartney each with 2-1 winning
$15. Fuerstman Directed.
Midtown XXIV, 3-SS, 30/1,G/15.
