Adolfo Prieto held defending champion Bob Kratzat to a draw in the last round to claim the 2014 Blitz Championship on Tuesday night at the Watertown Chess Club.
Mr. Kratzat was defending his consecutive 2012 and 2013 titles, but a loss to Mr. Prieto in round 3 and a draw with Don Klug in round 4 left Mr. Kratzat a half point behind Mr. Prieto entering the last round game.
This is Mr. Prieto’s third Blitz Championship, having shared the 2012 title with Mr. Kratzat after winning outright in 2011.
The cross table standings are listed below. This was the first of ten club tournaments scheduled for the 2014 season.
Mr. Prieto’s win earned him a point and the early lead in the 2014 club standings.
