The Bon Accord Christmas lightning tournament was held on Friday 19th December.
Unfortunately the buzzer broke down during round three so the last four rounds were held as five minute blitz games. This didn’t seem to make much difference to the result: Hamish Olson has won this tournament several times in a row, and did so again on this occasion -being unbeaten with 7/7. Richard Jennings was second, and Jeremy Mitchell third.
The full results were as follows:
