Is there an entry list online do you know? Is the event likely to reach max entries soon or is there quite a big capacity? Thanks

Last year it had over 200, although it did seem a bit cramped in places.

There will, at some point, be a list on Steve's website when I have chance - hopefully this weekend. Capacity has been increased as we now use classrooms and the hall, which we will continue to do this year.

I did think about coming over to Doncaster. However, it clashes with the Leyland Rapidplay, which is also on Sunday 26th February.

Entries now at 137 with less than two weeks to go.

Updated entry list shortly due to go up on MannChess (see post 1 for link).

Entries now at 180 with three days to go. Still space for a few more!

Updated entry list shortly due to go up on MannChess (see post 1 for link).

Please remember we use:
-the January original rating for section eligibility
-the February revised (at weekend prior to congress) as tournament rating.
(before anyone queries the over-graded players).
