This is a non-rated fun event open to chess players and members of the public. Participants MUST know the rules of chess and be able to play with a clock.

The tournament will be held outdoors. Four gazebos will be erected in the Museum in a Garden to provide shelter in the case of rain.

Unfortunately, this does limit capacity to 16 entries with two boards per gazebo.

Weather permitting, the final will be played on the giant chess board in the Hunt Museum rear garden.

There will be a Chess Arbiter to make the draw for each round. The Arbiter’s decision is final if there are any disputes.

Anyone more than 15 minutes late for the start of a round will lose by default.

If a game ends in a draw, then the players will play a 5 minute blitz game to decide the winner.
