QUB Christmas Blitz
The QUB Blitz series continued in the Students' Union and provided another night of high quality competition, banter and, on this occasion, no shortage of controversy.
The event had something for all of the 26 competitors to enjoy - whether it was the chess, the laid back surroundings of the Union’s Speakeasy Bar or the value for money drinks (ask Martin Kelly).
Enjoying the chess as much as anybody was Steve Scannell. The 7 times Ulster Champion held off fierce competition to claim a consecutive outright QUB Blitz victory with 4.5 points from his 5 games.
