RESULTS OF CASUAL BLITZ TOURNAMENT
Congratulations to Justin for winning the casual blitz tournament held on March 28. Wilson finished in second place by defeating Master Matt. The turnout was great. I hope you all had fun and are planning on playing in the Swiss tournament which starts on April 4. See the previous post for the link to registration.
