Eastbourne Grand Prix, 27th February 2010

Another fantastic tournament with a record entry of over 70 contestants aged 5 - 15, many hoping for selection to the county squads. It was particularly encouraging to see 20 contestants in the U18 sections. The quality of chess played was high, with many games taking the full time control.

Thanks to Bishop Bell School for the spacious venue, and the catering team - Derek Ferguson, Mandy Holman, and Sue Howell.

Thanks to pairers Iain Rose and Chris Lear, and arbiters Brian Stockham, Dave Graham and Gary McCullough.
