UK Blitz Qualifiers 2018

 

UK Open Blitz Championship Qualifiers took place on Saturday, 8th September in eight cities around the country, each played over 15 rounds.

 

James Adair of York University came second in the Newcastle event with 13˝ out of 15, so qualifying for the final.

 

More Yorkshire players entered the Manchester event than entered the Newcastle, and though none emerged as a qualifier, there were a number of good performances:
