Saturday's Illinois Blitz Championship was unusually strong, as it was held in conjunction with the U.S. Amateur Team North in Schaumburg. Let's hope this tradition continues! Hungarian Grandmaster Denés Boros, a student at Webster University in St. Louis, won the Illinois Blitz Championship with an impressive 9-1 score.
NM Gopal Menon and NM Sam Schmakel tied for second with 8-2; as Illinois residents, they share the 2013 blitz title.
Israeli GM Anatoly Bykhovsky and our own GM Dmitry Gurevich tied for fourth with 7½ points; FM Eric Rosen, FM Albert Chow, NM Erik Santarius of Wisconsin, NM Pete Karagianis, George Li (still 12 years old?), and Aakaash Meduri tied for sixth with 7-3.

| Notable results: Gopal shut out Brazilian GM Andre Diamant 2-0. (But that's not really notable to those of us who have played Gopal.) |

The 2-0 shutout of Turgut over Young was actually a forfeit on Young's part
Also, that tie for sixth was not a 6-4 score but a score of 7-3.
Wow: I made so many mistakes in this post that I feel like I played in the event!
Corrected, thanks.
