Fireworks Blitz and Pawn Storm #14
The Sacramento Pawns club will celebrate the socially distant edition of Independence Day by playing online chess. On Friday night debuts the Fireworks Blitz starting at 7:30 PM. This special event is scheduled for 10 rounds of G/5 + inc/1 blitz madness and, unofficially, it replaces the annual club blitz championship. Call up your friends! Mister Karas, where are you?
