Civil Service League Individual Blitz Tournament 2005
This event took place on 15 September 2005. A total of 13 players entered, five of whom were graded in the 170s, making this the strongest Civil Service Blitz tournament in living memory. A tight finish seemed likely. After the first few rounds, however, James Toon and Arne Eilers opened up a lead and maintained it to the end. James finished in first place on 11/12, half a point ahead of Arne on 10.5/12, and so won the Bond Trophy. Last year's winner Tony Ashby finished third on 9/12, making it a good night for the Home Office.
