Fellow Chess Players,
I would like to thank everyone who came to play in the 2015 Waltham Chess Club Blitz Championship, our second Blitz event. Our turnout was about the same as last year, and I am pleased that we got as many as we did, including some new faces.
Rounds 1-6 were played on 7/24, and Rounds 7-12 on 7/31. 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, especially to Todd Chase, our new Blitz Champion. We look forward to both of our Championships next year.

And next week is our special event featuring GM Timur Gareyev, either a 10-player blind simul or a 3-hour lecture. The choice of event will be up to the attending players by vote. Admission is $10. Please come join us!
