The 2018 British Chess Championship is a 9-round Swiss open, with a top prize of £10,000 (about €11,200 euro), with £1,000 for the British Women's Champion. Players receive 90 minutes for 40 moves then 30 minutes to the end, plus 30 seconds per move starting from move one.
Congratulations to Michael Adams, who won the tiebreak match against Luke McShane 4 : 2.
You have to feel for Luke McShane - that’s two play-off defeats in succession. But Michael Adams is still getting it done at age 46, a mere 29 years after his first British title. Truly one of the greatest English sportsmen of all time. #BritishChess2018
