There was a change of venue from last year, probably because last year’s venue was limited to 120 participants, whereas the new venue could cope with 200. Entries totalled 142 this year, so that paid off. Sponsorship of such an event is desirable but often not easily obtained. For this event, the pre-event advertising said, “Total prize money is £2,440 thanks to sponsorship by ChessPick and they are also giving coaching prizes to winners of grading and diversity prizes.” So, things were off to an administrative good start on two counts.

Results were as follows. (Sum of Progressive Scores was not necessarily used by the organers.)
