QUB August Blitz, Café Krem, Monday 31 August 2009

After the final round of the Ulster Championships, nine players hot-footed it from the Europa Hotel to Queens’ University a mile away for another instalment of QUB blitz chess.

At Café Krem on the University campus a further 15 players awaited them. Newly crowned Ulster champion Stephen Scannell did the double after winning an Armageddon play-off with Damien Lavery.
