Final Standings, Waltham CC BLITZ CHAMPIONSHIP 2018 – 07-20-2018 – 07-27-2018

Fellow Waltham CC players,

Thanks to everyone who played in the 2018 Waltham Blitz Championship.  By one player we beat last year’s attendance with 27 players.  I understand that the WALTHAM  CC 2018 BLITZ CHAMPION, IM Denys Shmelov, is doubly celebrating because he has also just recently become a US Citizen.  We are really pleased to have him as a regular at the Club.

We also welcome Alex Yu, a first timer at our Club who took 3rd Place over all (tied with Ross Eldridge, who won the U1800 Prize), and we hope Alex becomes a regular at the Club too.

Winners:

1st Place: IM Denys Shmelov, 2018 BLITZ CHAMPION

2nd Place: Todd Chase

3rd Place: Alex Yu (tied with Ross Eldridge)

U1800: Ross Eldridge

U1400: Kelsey Liu

Daily Prize, Night #1: Ilya Rozonoyer

Daily Prize, Night #2, William Kelleher

Please note down the following upcoming events:

10/12/18 – 11/10/18 WALTHAM CC 2018 CHAMPIONSHIP & AUTUMN OPEN

12/7/18 – 12/14/18 WALTHAM CC 2018 QUICK CHAMPIONSHIP

And we hope to see you again soon over the board.
