Mike Bennett Reports: Hendon club members took many of the top places in April’s Blitz Tournament.

Daniel Ellis came 1st with a 100% score and newly joined member Bogdan Liviu Stefan (pictured) from Romania came 2nd, followed closely by David Iwi, Frank Sabin and Cristian Mures, who all took home prizes for ‘Hendon’s best player’.

Daniel’s other recent achievements include winning the Major section in February’s Golders Green rapidplay and having one of his games featured in Geoff Chandler’s off-beat column Chandler Cornered (“a mixture of instructive and exciting chess, interesting news and comment, and the occasional piece of inventive chess satire!”)

24 players participated.
