Doncaster Chess Congress 20th-22nd February 2026
Jim Burnett as overall congress secretary cum general dog’s body and also Peter Ackley as entry secretary have decided to stepdown from running the Doncaster Congress.
Instead, Jonathan Arnott of Sheffield along with contacts in Doncaster, has agreed to take over the Congress.
This will almost certainly involve a change in venue, and the introduction of new ideas, which is not a bad thing. Many of those involved in the running of the old-style Doncaster Congress are well past their put-out-to-grass dates, in which category the present writer includes himself.
Whilst the date for 2026 has been fixed, following the old formula of the last complete weekend in February, the venue has yet to be finalised (at time of writing). To follow how things are developing you need to look at the new congress website at
