Frodsham Chess Congress 2018
Frodsham is a town 3 miles south of Runcorn (south of the Mersey), right next to the M56 from which you turn off at junction 12 (unless you go by train).
The 2018 Frodsham Congress was held at Frodsham Community Centre, Fluin Lane, Frodsham, Cheshire WA6 7QN, from 02/02/2018 to 04/02/2018. It attracted 133 participant in total to its three sections, including five Yorkshire-based players, and four Lancashire-based players who play for Calderdale in the Yorkshire league. With little adult organised chess in Yorkshire that weekend, there might have been more, though Sheffield having three Yorkshire league matches some potential entrants will have been diverted thither.

There was greater “Yorkshire” success in the second (Under-160) section, with an outright first place for John Cawston, and some “near misses” not quite getting a share of third prize:
* first prize in each section was £150 ** “retired “hurt”, seemingly
There seem to have been no “Yorkshire” players in the third (Under-120) section.
