As the Nadal and Dimitrov battled it out in the AO semis, our club opened its doors for its first night in 2017.
We had a Blitz event, which had a good turnout of 18. Final Standings and Cross Table (9 rounds):

The event was a lot of fun! All games were played in great spirit, with a competitive yet very relaxed atmosphere. It was great to see many new faces to the club, some playing their first OTB event. Equally pleasing was seeing John Myers (recently coming back to competitive chess) taking part.
Next Friday(3 February, 7 pm start) is the Allegro! A great chance to warm up before we kick off with our more serious tournaments!
