James Morris has won the September 2013 Blitz Marathon! Morris put in an impressive showing in the critical last rounds, while Baron appeared to have lost some of his earlier energy, dropping a few games. Nick Ilic did very well indeed and took away the rating prize. Final results: 47.5 James Morris (IM) 46 Michael Baron (FM) 33.5 Jack Puccini 31= Frank Lekkas, Sylvester Urban 14.5 Nicholas Ilic 14 Goran Ilic 12.5 Philip Drew 2 Ben Frayle A few people went insane during the marathon, and others now exhibit the compulsive tendency to play chess variants. But we got there. Attached is the final position for two of the players - you'll know what I mean when you see it. The player playing Black requested that I keep his name anonymous  ;) |
