2026-09-07 Season Opening Blitz

After the conclusion of the club's Annual General Meeting, there was time for the traditional Blitz tournament to be held over five rounds. The time-limit was 3 minutes per player plus a 2 second increment. We are grateful to Steve taking on the task of doing the pairings, without computer assistance but still with at a speed consistent with the fast playing format.

Just as happened last year, 16 players took part and Isaac won with a perfect score. William and Nathanael finished as joint runners-up and everyone got at least victory on the scoreboard.
