Final Standings, Waltham Chess Club Blitz Championship 2014, 7/18/14-7/25/14

Fellow Chess Players,

       I would like to thank everyone who came to play in the 2014 Waltham Chess Club Blitz Championship, our first Blitz event.    We hope to have a higher turnout next year, but I was pleased that we got as many as we did between the two days.

       Rounds 1-6 were played on 7/18, and Rounds 7-12 on 7/25.  The two events were paired separately, and that is why you will see players frequently playing the same opponents twice.

       Congratulations to the prize winners.  We look forward to both of our Championships next year.

Nicholas P. Sterling, Ph.D.
