William Bleish, or Bill, as most know him, has done it again!
He’s won the NABC Robot Individual for the third time, completing an impressive hat trick. Bill summed up his experience in his own words:

"Just as big a thrill this time around as the first two! What is crazy they all came in a row at the last three Fall NABC’s. This one I led wire-to-wire which may be even more stressful trying to protect a lead rather than coming from behind. It is getting harder and harder to win as the winning scores keep creeping up. Achieving a 70% cumulative score is no longer good enough for a win. The competition is fierce with many world class players and former NABC robot champions competing. I feel so fortunate to come out on top!

My BBO nickname is 78Jayhawk which reflects my school alma mater, the Kansas Jayhawks. There were a couple Jayhawk games on TV and I couldn’t resist watching the games while I was playing. Fortunately, the Jayhawks were able to withstand the pressure and hold their second half lead down the stretch against Notre Dame and win as I did with my NABC robot win. Stressful but so much fun! Thanks to BBO and the ACBL for staging these wonderful competitions!"
