check out Ian Hunnable's photos of the lovely venue!

We had an excellent final total of 139 over four sections in the end. All the results plus games and photographs are on the excellent Essex website courtesy of Ian Hunnable. A special thank you to Norman and yElena Went who looked after the arbiter, and to Gavin Strachan who rescued the event and who already plans to run an even larger tournament next year.

And to Ferenc Berkes (2661 GM) from Hungary) who won the main event with 6/7 and took home £2500!
