The Guaranteed Minimum Prize Fund of £3,000 has now been replaced by the Congess Prize Fund and is increased to £4,170 with both enhanced and new Prizes.
The new prizes are Third Prize in each section of the Rapid and a second Rating Prize in the Open. However, the Rating Prize in the U1750 section has been withdrawn as the section has only six entries, but still retaining three prizes. See our previous post for details of the Rating Prizes.
