Inverclyde Chess Club's 2015-16 season began with a Blitz Tournament which produced a surprise winner.
Carsten
Bolln finished narrowly ahead of hot favourite Kevin McDonald with an
outstanding 9 wins in 10 games. The competition involved players having
only 5 minutes each to complete all of their moves - run out of time and
you lose the game. Quick-thinking and coolness under pressure were
required!
The club plans to hold more Blitz tournaments later in the
season.
