Tahir Vakhidov, Loz Cooper, James Cobb and Mark Hebden were tied in second place on 8.5/11.
These results are subject to confirmation.*
Full results will be published in due course.
* For some reason, the final results are only on Dave Thomas's memory stick, and not my hard drive, so I'm waiting to be e-mailed the results in full.

Re: 2012 British Blitz Championship
It was a pretty fun day all in all, and quite exciting to watch the lead keep switching between players throughout the tournament.
I thought the arbiters did a good job under such pressure to keep the rounds flowing as quickly as they did.

Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.

The arbiters are knackered, and we have a Rapidplay to run tomorrow.Joey Stewart wrote:I thought the arbiters did a good job under such pressure to keep the rounds flowing as quickly as they did.
Thanks for your kind words though.

Well done to Alex, Dave and the team for a brilliant event. Fast and furious for players and arbiters but a lot of fun.

Thanks to Alex for an extremely enjoyable and well run tournament. Just a pity I missed three rounds due to the vagaries of West Midlands public transport!

Re: 2012 British Blitz Championship
I had to rely on it on a weekly basis when the club had fewer drivers than teams. I think we may once have made it to an away match on time, but it's difficult to remember when!Alex Holowczak wrote:Spare a thought for those of us who rely on it on a daily basis.Michael Jones wrote:Thanks to Alex for an extremely enjoyable and well run tournament.
