May 2010 Blitz results

May 2010 Blitz :

May winner - Zaidan Zulkipli  8.5 out of 9pts  ....   2nd - Brendan Buckley ...   3rd - Ossine Murphy.

For our final speed event before the summer break we gave everyone 5 mins.  Zaidan showed his class once again, Indie should get a special mention  - the only participant to take half a point from our winner.  Four of us ended up on 6/9 pts, joint second ... so we had a little play-off.   Mark Monaghan and Felix Calleja being squeezed out in the semi's.  A nice evening to end our season and finally .... congratulations to the newly qualified Dr. Zulkipli , we are  hoping that you get a posting here in Galway  ...

 

 

April 2010 Blitz :

April winner -  Zaidan Zulkipli  10 out of 11pts  ....   2nd - Ossine Murphy ...   3rd - Felix Calleja.

This was our last handicap event and as can be seen giving a certain contestant 2 mins or 5 mins makes no difference to where th finishes.  The only conclusion the author can make is to do away with the handicap system and  may the best player win !  Not far away were Ossine on 9pts and Felix had 8pts.
