NM Erik Santarius won the ICA Blitz Championship with an excellent 9-1 score against very tough competition. As Erik is a Wisconsin resident, the second-place finisher, IM Angelo Young, adds the title of 2011 Illinois Blitz Champion to his five "slow" titles. Anglelo scored 7½-2½. Two-time US Game/30 champion Michael Auger, NM Eric Rosen, NM Atulya Shetty, and Matthew Wilber tied for third with 7-3.
NM Gopal Menon, who's one of the strongest "bullet" (one-minute game) players on the Internet Chess Club, didn't win a prize this year, nor did NMs Stamnov or Karagianis.

Chicago Class - Master Section
Happy Monday!
GM Nikola Mitkov won the Master Section (link to crosstable) of the Chicago Class, held this weekend at the DoubleTree Oak Brook, with 4½ points. Timur Aliyev took clear second with an impressive 4 points (Aliyev upset GM Dmitry Gurevich in the last round). Gurevich, Erik Santarius, Owechukwu Iwu, and Gopal Menon tied for 3rd with 3½ points.
More on the other sections in the next day or so: please send an interesting game if you have one to share!
Yours truly did not play so well, but I had fun!
