This was a 2-day 5-round Swiss event on Saturday & Sunday 20th & 21st September 2025 at New Earswick Folk Hall, Hawthorn Terrace, New Earswick, a northerly outlying village under the jurisdiction of the City of York. The hall is a Grade II listed building set up by Joseph Rowntree administered by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust. (Nevertheless, there is a bar!)

There were three sections: Open with 24 participants, Major (U1900) with 34 participants and Minor (U1600) with 31 participants.

This event is the first of six in a series run under the banner of White Rose Chess Ltd, an offshoot of the Ilkley Chess Centre Ltd, and is not officially connected with the Yorkshire Chess Association as such, though the present YCA president runs the two limited companies.

Round-by-round results and final scores were as follows (though sum-of progressive scores was not used by the organisers as a tie-break method):
