I won a blitz chess tournament last night. It was handicapped by time (20 minutes for each game in total, a one minute swing for every 20 points or part thereof difference in grades). I employed the Swiss Gambit by drawing in round 1 and thus avoided being paired against any of the top six seeds (I was the top seed) and finished on 4.5/5.
This was my prize:

This triumph was just the spur I needed to quit my job and become a full time chess professional (paid in wine gums).

He's using a different name on RHP now, a practice I thoroughly disapprove of.
