2009 Blitz Championship

 

This year's blitz championship was won by steel-nerved Jeff Phillips with a score of 12/14.  Slightly behind was Josh Smith for second place honors at 11 1/2.  Tying for thind at 8 1/2 each were John Coffey, Michael Parsons and Kevin Keyes.  It was a very strong field with surprisingly good quality games throughout, although several games would have concluded differently had the players a few more seconds to win a won game vs lose on time, but that's the nature--and some of the thrill--of the game.
