QUB October Blitz Report
After the success of July's Blitz in Bar Sub, Belfast chess veterans and newcomers alike had October's event marked as a five star tournament not to miss.
With a great atmosphere, Ulster's best players, many new faces and a steady supply of alcohol - the QUB October Blitz duly delivered upon high expectations. 36 players crowded into the SU's Bar Bunatee for what was to provide a superb start to the new University year and the 2008/09 chess season.
