NEWS & VIEWS 2-10-05Tapia Leads Top; Jivan "B"; Hofer "C"; Xin Lower Section of Wendy's LXIII Charlotte, NC 2-9-05: A moderate turnout of 24 of the Charlotte area's most capable calculators converged upon this laboratory where the arcane is revealed more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:4 of Wendy's LXIII. In the Top Section, the CCC's #2 player, 2004 NC Invitational Champion, 2004 CCC Player of the Year NM Frankie "Neutron" Newton (2292)  defended handily and
turned the tables against 2004 CCC Expert
of the Year Expert Chris "the
Babe" Mabe
(2102) but still trails the leaders by 1/2 point after the CCC's #3
player, threepeat NC Scholastic Champion, 2004 CCC Scholastic Player of the Year, NM Daniel "Johnny" Tapia (2197), now with 3-1, snagged
an early piece for pawn(s) and then slipped in the time scramble
allowing the tenacious 2004 CCC "A" Player of the Year Expert Shawn "Arlo" Pealer (2048) to exact a perpetual
check and Draw.  (No-show Expert
Todd "Squirrelbreath" Trower (2054) apparently found ACC basketball to
be more intellectually stimulating...) Meanwhile, NM Leland "Padrone" Fuerstman (2000) sacked a piece for
Pawn(s) versus Michael "Jordan" Kliber (1911) whereby the latter player
walked into mate on the 30th move in an otherwise drawn position. In
addition, returnee to competition, ex-Expert Gary "Sandbagger" Branton (1800?!) won an OCB
ending
against the good Reverend Bernard "King" Baker (1801). In the "B" Section,  Ankit "Butch"
Jivan (1606) bested
Amateur
superhero 2004 CCC "D" Player
and Most Improved Player of the Year Marty "Fritz" Katz (1615) to
lead with 3-1.
In addition, the celebrated Doctor who performed the world's first
hemorrhoid transplant, "A" player elect Dr. Gerard "the Butcher" Sztyber (1785) successfully
eviscerated Ken "the Terrible" Ivens (1807), Laura "Karate Kid" Lee (1662) beat Jonathan "Henry"
Hudson (1607) to submission and "Sponge" Bob Moore (1713) made peace with Viktor "the Mad Russian" Ozherelyev (1621). In the "C" Section,
Donald "Trump" Hofer (1522) humiliated and then
fired Spencer "Jazzman" Singleton (1499) to lead with 3.5-.5. In
addition, Sylvester "Sly" Hubbard (1719/3) defeated Winfred
"Guns" Gatlin (1483). In the Lower
Section,  Samuel
"Reshevsky" Xin (1192) bested
Joseph "Stalin"
Alexander (Unr) to lead with 3-1. Other
Lower Section winners were: Joe
Shirlen. All
results may be observed on the "Current
Crosstable" ATTN: I will be
Co-Directing the 31st Snowstorm Special this
weekend in Charleston, SC. The CCC is sending a "strong" team to do
battle! I'll see ya there!! -

(1829)
and Patrick "Fabio"
McCartney (1941) to  share =1st-3rd
Place with 2004 CCC Expert
of the Year Expert Chris "the
Babe" Mabe (2102) who
defeated Matthew
