There will be two sections (Minor and Challengers) in this 5-round tournament. The Challengers tournament is for older and more experienced players. Chess clocks will be used in that section. There will be a short masterclass starting around 13:40. Play will commence shortly after 14:00. We expect prize giving to take place between 16:15 and 16:30, but it could start slightly earlier. Parents can leave after bring their children in and return closer to 16:15. We will contact parents if necessary.
