The Organisers have considered comments made by Gert de Block on a previous blog article headed “Rating Prizes”. We thank Gert for having expressed these views and agree to reinstate the Rating Prize for the U1750 section. We apologise for having withdrawn the prize in contradiction to the prizes as published in the Entry Form.
The U1750 Rating Prize is awarded for the best score by a player rated under 1590 and goes to Andrew Duffell (1581), who scored 2½ points.
