Next Blitz tournament: Thursday 11 August
The next in our summer series of monthly blitz tournaments will be held on Thursday 11 August, in our normal room: upstairs in the Galway Bridge Centre, St Mary’s Road. Starting time is 7.45 p.m., and the expected finishing time is about 10.30. The format is 7 rounds, with each game played at a speed of 5 minutes for the game plus a 5 second increment per move. We will provide all sets and clocks. As this is not part of our regular season, there will be an entry fee of €5 to pay for the hire of the room, with any surplus returned in prizes. To enter, just turn up on the night with your €5. You do not need to be a club member.
We had a good turnout for our July blitz (both in terms of numbers and quality) and we are looking forward to seeing even more of you in August.
