Got to love the £7 prize in the Open!

Presumably Burrows qualifies for the British?

Knowing chess players, they're probably sore about the 14p deduction from each of their prize money (given that I'm assuming it was £50 split 7 ways).

Probably. Though it pays for the rounding up of the 1st prize in the Major :lol:

Not only that, but the prize money hasn't been handed over yet, so there's also lost interest of about 0.5p per week while we wait for it. :cry:

I'm delighted to announce that following David Coates being awarded the Over2000 rating prize, the 3rd place prize money has increased to £8.33 and that the cheque is in the post. :D
