There was success for two North Staffordshire players in the Open Section of the Crewe Congress. Jacob Connor Boswell, who began his chess career at Cheddleton and Leek, as a junior, won the section with a score of four wins and a draw from 5 rounds. Among the runners up was Staffordshire Junior Secretary Jonathan Blackburn with four points.
There was plenty of participation by Staffordshire players in all sections.
