QUB March 2010 Blitz
QUB Chess Club held another of its blitz tournaments at a new venue.
The Parlour Bar, just across the road from the QUB Students' Union, hosted the event. There were 5 rounds with players having 10 minutes apiece for each game. Winner was QUB student Eamonn Walls, with Jonathan Woodfield defying his 12th place seeding to take second on tie-break. Other prizes went to Damien Lavery (best under 1800), William Ashenhurst (best unrated player) and Steve MacCullough (best newcomer).
