Ilkley Congress - 16-18 September 2022

[Andrew Wainwright]

We will be back bigger and hopefully even better next year!

Are you intending to put this year's games out in pgn format?

Thanks for playing Roger. We hope that you enjoyed the event.

The games from the DGT Boards on the top two board of each section are available in this format on players profiles on our website. We don't have the man power to type in 400 games manually so the other games aren't available as PGNs.

Seems like a welcome addition to the Congress circuit. Were the numbers this year near the maximum the halls could accommodate?

I think so. There were over 235 according to Andy. He will know the numbers! I was busy figuring out how to play chess (badly) again and dealing with some YCA stuff.

The playing area was very spacious - surely a lot more people could have been accommodated?

Hi Tim. Thanks for playing. We hope that you enjoyed the event. We will probably cap entries at 200 to maintain the spacious feel on the playing venue and the overall conditions for our entrants.

Thanks for a superbly organised congress in a beautiful location.

Thank Jon. Glad that you enjoyed it. Come back next year and bring friends to help us reach the 200 capacity!

That really is a fine venue

You will have to play next year Martin to experience it first hand.

I think the 300 mile journey might put them off a bit..
