Organised by our club, The Milton Keynes standard chess tournament has concluded in thrilling fashion, with registrations reaching full capacity. It was nothing short of a chess carnival in Milton Keynes.

With a strong field featuring FIDE titles players- GM, IMs, FM, CM – and many arena titled players, the event delivered top-class competition throughout.
The final round was especially intense, with board 1 seeing a dramatic showdown between a GM and an IM battling for the top prize – and it was worth the wait until the very last move!

Thanks to all participants and supporters for making it a memorable event.
