The Book Prize Tournament 2023-24 is one of four Chandler’s Ford Chess Club tournaments. This year’s Book Prize Tournament started at the beginning of September 2023. It is organised by Peter Przybycin.

Hi All,

Welcome to the fourth Chandlers Ford Book Prize Tournament!

We have 30 entries, 10 in the Premier, 10 in the Major, and 10 in the Minor. The tournament will have nine rounds, with one round every five weeks, so the tournament should last 45 weeks, ending August 2024.

Rate of play will be 90 minutes each for the whole game.

If two players tie for first place in any section, the book prize will go to the winner of their individual game. If that was a draw, then there will be a replay with reversed colours. If the replay is drawn, the player with the lower published grade (at the time of the replayed game) will take the prize.

All the best,

Peter P.
