The home of chess in Galway
The May blitz, played on Thursday 3 May, proved another triumph for youth, with all prizes going to players under 17. First equal were Denis Ruchko and Zalan Nemeth on 5½ points: they drew with each other, lost one game each against the older folk (to Ger Abberton and Pete Morriss, respectively), and won all five of their remaining games. The grading prize was won, for the second month in a row, by Kynesha Ryder, with 4 points. There was an above-average size turnout, incidentally, which has encouraged us to keep the monthly blitzes going throughout the summer. Dates will be announced shortly.
