August Blitz Results

The August Blitz, held on Thursday 30 August, again attracted a good mix of regular attenders, newcomers, and people returning after several years’ absence (during which, it seems, life had got in the way of chess). Yet when the dust settled the prize winners were a fairly familiar bunch. First prize went to Pete Morriss, with six points out of seven; second to Andrejs Kozlovs (no longer eligible for the grading prize) with 5½; and the grading prize to James Blackwell, who also came third equal with 4½ pints.
