Frankie Badacsonyi wins March blitz!

Friday 4 March, 2022

Our final FIDE Blitz at the Holly Bush was attended by twenty hardy souls who braved a Tube strike, crowded buses and parking nightmares!

The Badacsonyi brothers, dangerous blitz specialists, battled it out for first place, but in the end youth overcame experience with Frankie finishing ahead of IM Large. Congratulations to him, and to Harry Bryant for winning the prize for top Hendon player!
