May Blitz Results
Our May blitz – the final one of the season – was won by Brendan Buckley, with 5½ points out of 7. Second placed was a new member Steven Brannigan, who scored 5 points. Steven also won the grading prize: usually we don’t allow anyone to win two prizes in this way, but his performance was so meritorious that the rules were bent on this occasion.
