David Lettington reports: "The event will run again next year at the same venue from Friday 24th September to Sunday 26th September 2027. The prize fund has been increased to £1500. The sections will be Open, U1850, U1550. All three sections will be FIDE-rated and ECF-rated. The rounds times will be amended to 10am and 3pm on Saturday/Sunday to ensure that the afternoon round is not delayed by long games. You can enter the 2027 event here: www.invictachess.co.uk/medway - I will also run a one day Rapidplay at the same venue on Saturday 8th May 2027."
