Tuesday Night Blitz

Tonight we tried a Blitz session - great for some - torture for others!!!

U1200 Section

AbleLopsidedGriraffe coped with the time pressure better than most, winning 3 out of 3 games in the U1200 section - very well played!  RedNuttyCactus came second in a really good performance, losing only to AbleLopsidedGriraffe.  Kolifl0w37 came third with a good performance.

Open Section

In the Open Section, MerryJazz had an excellent result in coming second - his best result in these tournaments - really well done.  Rowantree won the event, while theworldoflegend came 3rd, despite winning as excellent game against Rowantree, which you can see below.
