In addition, in the Intermediates there will be a special prize of two free lessons with a Grandmaster (via Skype) for the winners and finalists of the three knockouts, provided they are UKBGF members on the 31st July 2020.

Accommodation
We have secured an allocation of rooms for the night of Saturday 15th August on the York University campus at £46.20 per person including breakfast, plus a small number of rooms for the nights of Friday 14th and Sunday 16th August at the same rate. These rooms are available for players who are entering either the individual event on Saturday or the team event on Sunday, or both. In view of the present COVID-19 uncertainty we advise players not to make firm accommodation bookings just yet. An announcement and link to secure low cost rooms will be made nearer the time.
