59th Hull Congress, 2022

The 50th Hull Congress was held from 14th to 16th October 2022, at the Canham Turner Conference Centre, University of Hull, Cottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX. There were three sections, Open, Under-2000 and Under 1700, the first two being FIDE-rated but not the third with a total advertised prize fund of £3,000.

It was run alongside a 4NCL 10-player GM Norm tournament running from 12th to 16th October.

In the prize column in the following tables, the asterisk denotes the “performance” prize (rating performance in the event as against that predicted by rating.)
