Hendon Blitz Tournament - Bonfire Night 2009
Report by Adam Raoof
Following hard on the heels of our recent successes in the League, 25 players turned out to play in our Bonfire Night Blitz.
Hendon’s Cristian Mures (winning £20) and visitor Jonathan Rona (from Australia, £20) 5½/6, emerged victorious; Rona had the better of their individual encounter, but lost on time in a winning position. Cristian had a bare king. Result: draw!
The Hendon Fiver(s) went to Salvatore Pepe (£5) and new Hendon members Isaac Sanders (£5) and Tim Rogers (£5).
RESULTS:
Cristian Mures, Jonathan Rona 5½/6 (£20 each)
Isaac Sanders, Tim Rogers, Salvatore Pepe (£5 each for highest Hendon player) 4/6
