Just a quick note to let everyone know we had a good turnout for last week’s Impromptu Blitz #73, with 23 players partaking of seven rounds of free, unrated G/3+2 chess. When the seventh round was done and dead Alexander Su and Hugo Pu sat atop the wall chart with 6.0 points out of seven, and it should be noted that Hugo’s regular US Chess rating is almost 2000 now, so he’ll likely be a candidate master soon. One point behind Alex and Hugo in a tie for third were Austin Chen and Sam Bekker with 5.0 points, followed by a slew of strong players at 4.0. Full results are in the attached image and thank you to everyone who joined us for this event.
We’ll do much the same thing tonight — another free, unrated blitz tournament beginning at 7pm with the same G/3+2 time control. I also have all the details set for our club championship beginning November 5th and I’ll send more information about that tournament this weekend. Regards,
Mark Drury
