Event started with nine players in RR, one joined later. Several came too late. The players levels were >2000, with young M.Plotkin being alone U2000 :) Roman Sapozhnikov won and took the first price ($100), then followed Victor Plotkin (2), Michael Barron (3).
Round one.

Re: Friday Night Blitz Chess in Toronto!
We now have 2 regular weekly blitz tournaments in Toronto
....Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
The transformation of the Strategy Games basement into a nice looking chess club is all due to the efforts of Mr. Francis Rodriguez, and family.
Thank you very much , sir.

Friday Nite Blitz continues this Fri. 1 Oct. too, 6:30 pm!
With lots of out-of-towners in T.O. this weekend - GM Charbonneau,
WGM Jennifer Shahade, etc (we could even get her to autograph her
"Chess Bitch" at the Store!), you never know who you'll run into at
these rapidly-building Friday Nite Blitzes on 701 Mt. Pleasant.
As the man said -
"Be there, or....be square!"
All 64 of them, I guess!:-)

Another Friday Night Blitz cometh.....!
For truly great blitz, without all the stings and
burrs of costly "membership", make a beeline
tonite to 701 Mt. Pleasant, 6:30 pm as usu.
Yes, we are the real deal, dare I say not an addition,
or supplement or appendix, or uh...annexe?
Touche!
