Here are the results of the 3rd round of our League. The first named had white.

Lucas Neirynck - Olivier Drouot : 1-0
Thomas Connor - François Gonze : 0-1
Daniel French - Kevin Prist : 0-1
Kevin Annachachibi - Aron Safran : 1-0
Cédric Duvinage - Juliette Brault : 0-1

Christopher Annachachibi was very fair-play and propose himself to be
bye this round because there was an odd number of players.

So far, 25 players have participated in the tournament, which is a
great success (there are 89 players in the rating list)!

See you next time!

Thomas Connor

This year the Belgian Blitz Championship gathered 16 people around the boards for a high-frequence series of games (7 games in 5 hours). Unexpectedly, brownies didn't show up: they were kept for the next Cosmic League round, of course.

However spring was calling us outside, the atmosphere was really good inside.
The 2009 Blitz Champion is Lucas Neirynck: he collected victories and only him could beat Christopher Annachachibi, who is thus second.

See you next year !
