The club rapid tournament gets underway next week. We will have one game per week at 25 + 5 time control. There will be two divisions – an Open and a Junior, as in the club championships. This is a members only event, so you will need to join up as a member on the first or second night if you want to be in. Once again we will have a book prize for the winner of the Junior division. As there is only one organized game per night pickup for Juniors will be around 8:15.
We had 25 for t he second round of the the blitz last night. Special mention for Joel who came away with four points. Richard is leading the cumulative points table with 10.5 followed by Hilton on 9.5, then Ian Sivaram and Stefan on 7.5. The crosstables and cumulative points can be found under Events>2015>Blitz above. We will kick off the club rapid champs next week, with the final two nights for the club blitz championship in July.
The club blitz kicked off with 22 entries last night. Hilton and Richard lead the field on 5.5 points a piece. Round 2 next week. Points will accumulate over a total of four nights. Remember guests are welcome. Club ratings have been updated: Check them out as there are a couple of new personal bests.
