Tournament Report by Chris Dorrian Greenisland Football Club Chess Winter Blitz Bash

On the 25th November 2022 GFC Chess hosted a Fide Blitz Tournament in support of the Greenisland Community Fridge. The entry fee was a jar of coffee and a toiletry item that the Community Fridge was able to share with its clients. As the cost of living crisis deepens and people continue to struggle through the winter, it is great that the Chess Community is able to support. Over 25 clients will benefit from the range of gifts provided.

Greenisland Football Club Chess Winter Blitz Bash

On the 25th November 2022 GFC Chess hosted a Fide Blitz Tournament in support of the Greenisland Community Fridge.

The entry fee was a jar of coffee and a toiletry item that the Community Fridge was able to share with its clients. As the cost of living crisis deepens and people continue to struggle through the winter, it is great that the Chess Community is able to support. Over 25 clients will benefit from the range of gifts provided.

The winner on the night with 9/10 was Mandar Tahmankar, with Des Moreland (7.5/10) and Danny Roberts (7/10) running him close. Greenisland’s Andrew Campbell scored 6.5/10 for a superb 4th place on the night. Hopefully he carries this form into the Ulster Blitz Championships this December.

Thank you to Adrian Dornford-Smith for being Chief Arbiter on the night. It was great to see Stephen Morgan return to OTB chess and a big thanks to Lisburn Chess Club for bringing a group up to support the event.

Win of the night must go to young up and comer, Greenisland’s Dan Bondarau for his win against the very experienced Danny Roberts.

See you all at the Ulster blitz in Greenisland.
