November Junior Blitz – team event
Today we held a small all play all junior team event. Six teams competed with three players per team.
The critical match arose in Round 4 when the Weasels, led by Rueben, played the Foxes, led by Eldho. The crucial win came on Board 3 with Jacopo beating Sam in a close fought game.

| Result | ||||
| Reuben | 0 | – | 1 | Eldho |
| Daren | 1 | – | 0 | Sam W |
| Sam Harris | 0 | – | 1 | Jacopo |
| 0 | – | 0 | ||
| 1.0 | – | 2.0 |
This result was sufficient for the Foxes to win the overall team tournament by a half point from the Weasels! Congratulations to Eldho, Sam W and Jacopo.
Other notable results were Dhruv‘s fantastic result of 5 out of 5 for his team. As he said himself, many of the wins were on time and so with a 5 minutes for all moves, Dhruv showed himself to be superfast!
