QB2025Q1 Results

On March 20, 2025, we held our first quarterly blitz tournament of the year. It was well attended with 28 players. The tournament coincided with a visit from MACA board member Mike Urbonas, who participated in the tournament. MACA recently nominated JP Chess for the USCF's 2025 'Best Chess Club' award.

NM Ryan Young was out to retake his title after NM Matthew Fishbein won the last Blitz Tournament. NM Ryan did it in style with 10 out of 10 points. For NM Matt, it was a tough evening. Sam took second place, and Joe took third place. Infinite Variations donated a chess hoodie as the first-place prize. The lesson, donated by NM Ryan, went to Matthew Fleming, who had 6/10.

Young Ash awarded the medals to the top three players. Thanks to JP Chess organizer Adam for running a great tournament. Thanks to all those that participated for a great evening.
