OVER THE BOARD BLITZ!

BLITZ CHESS AT TAVERN OF TALES

After 12 games of blitz, Nate Solon was the deserving victor with a final score of 11/12!  Andrew Hoy was second with 10/12

Since the event was so much fun, we will be running another blitz tournament on Tuesday, June 1st.  The tournament will start at 7:00pm, but come early and play some warm up games and have a drink or a bite to eat! 

Tavern will also be hosting casual chess nights on Tuesdays when we do not have a tournament.
