Bert Scott, "Elliott to Challenge Pitterson for 2002 National Blitz Championship," Jamaican Ambassadors Academy, September 2002.
FIDE Master Warren Elliott defeated Jamaica champion NM Shane Matthews 12-10 in the National Blitz Championship Candidates Final on Sunday.
The match was close throughout and keenly contested. After the first 12 games, the score was tied 6-6. To break the impasse, a player had to win 2 games straight. Elliott and Matthews traded wins for the next 8 games until Elliott persevered and won games 21 and 22 thus winning the long grueling Candidates Final 12-10.
This was the longest Blitz match in Jamaica's chess history. FM Elliott will play defending champion NM Jomo Pitterson in the National Blitz Championship final on Sunday, September 22.
