This event is dedicated to the memory of Graham Lilley, a former champion of ours who represented the UK at IBCA events for many years. He is much missed. The BCA is very grateful to the Sylvia and Colin Shepherd Charitable Trust, who donated £500 to be spent in Yorkshire. The money will go towards this event.
The tournament is open to all visually impaired chess players and to associate members of the BCA. The title of BCA British Champion will be awarded to the highest placed visually impaired player who has been resident in the UK for at least the last three years and has not played chess for a country other than the UK.
The event is a 7 round Swiss. The rate of play is all moves in two and a half hours. If there are enough entries there will be an Open and an U1450 section. If a sufficient number of lady players enter and the majority of them are in favour of having a Ladies’ Championship, they will compete for the Julia Scott Trophy.
