1st Glossop Chess Weekend

 

This event was held at the Bradbury Community House, Market Street, Glossop, SK13 8AR over the weekend of Friday 18th to Sunday 20th July.  Essentially it consisted of a 2-day standard-rate congress held on the Saturday and Sunday, prefaced on the Friday evening by a book talk and signing by WIM Natasha Regan and National Instructor Matt Ball.

 

The 2-day congress consisted of two 5-round sections, a FIDE & ECF-rated Open, and an ECF-rated Major for players rated under 1700.

The entry fee for both sections was £35, but the Open section place prizes were 25% higher than those of the Major section, although these days the tendency is to have the same place prizes per section if the entry fee is the same per section.

Thus 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes in the Open were £500, £250, and £100, but in the Major were £400, £200 and £80.

 

Round-by-round game results with players tying on points ranked by sum of progressive scores (SPS not necessarily used by organisers) were:
