April Blitz results

The April blitz tournament, held on 10 April, was convincingly won by Alex Drimbarean, with 6½ points out of 7.  (The missing half-point was a penalty for arriving late and missing the first round.)   Second equal, on 5 points, were Pete Morriss and Roland Surlis.  Roland’s performance was particularly noteworthy, as he was one of the lowest-rated participants in the tournament.  The rating prize (for the highest-placed finisher rated in the lower half) would have been won by Roland, but he was ineligible by virtue of having achieved a prize already, and so it went to Padraig Crowe, who scored 3 points.
