Doncaster Congress 2022

After missing a year due to Covid, the Doncaster Congress was held once more at the usual venue, Hall Cross School, Doncaster, from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th February. A full list of grading prize winners is not to hand. One participant was Brendan O’Gorman, who managed to score 2 out of 5, despite seemingly spending the whole time taking photographs! You can see Brendan’s Doncaster Congress 2022 photo-gallery at https://brendanogorman.smugmug.com/Chess/2022/Doncaster-2022/. Section by section results were as follows:
