4NCL Harrogate Congress 2022

played 21st to 23rd January 2022

at The Old Swan Harrogate, Swan Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG1 2SR

In the recent past Harrogate has had three congress within 12 months run by 4NCL, Castle Chess and Noel Boustred respectively. Castle Chess is still running events, so may perhaps reappear on Harrogate at some stage, but whether Noel Boustred plans to continue running such events remains to be seen.

With over-the-board congresses far and few between at the moment, this one drew entries from further afield than might normally be expected. Detailed section results appear below.

A small number of games by Yorkshire players in the open have been picked out so that the reader can play through them here.
