This 5-round FIDE-rated congress was held under the auspices of the Cheshire & North Wales CA in the Altitude Suite of the Village Hotel, Cheadle Road, Cheadle, SK8 1HW, over the three weekdays 3rd to 5th February. The FIDE Arbiter present was Matthew Carr. Besides the main standard-rate event there was a blitz event in the evening of the final day.

The Open was won outright by Polish IM Mieszko Mis, who is presumably in this country for a while or has recently moved here.

93 games from the man event are available here on the Chess-Results,com website, where they can be played through on screen.
