OPEN
| Prize | Winner(s) | Score | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | IM Alan Merry (Bury St Edmunds) | 4½/5 | £ 350 |
| Second equal | IM Richard Pert (Brentwood), FM David Haydon (Brentwood), FM Martin Walker (Norwich Dons) , David Spence (Suffolk CCA), Dan Waller (Cambridge City), Russell White (Chelmsford), Alfie Onslow (Ealing)* | 3½/5 | £ 50 each |

| u18 Junior | Alfie Onslow (Ealing)* | 3½/5 | £ 50 |
| u15 Junior | Arnav Srivastrava (Cambridge City) | 3/5 | £ 50 |
* Although Alfie Onslow is listed against two prizes, he only receives a single £50 prize. Our rules for the awarding of prizes prevent us from awarding two prizes to the same player. He is listed against the 2nd equal finishers due to his score matching that position. His £50 is awarded in respect of the junior prize. The other six players then share the funds for second and third place between them (and the resulting figure was rounded up to the nearest £5).

Chess.com membership prizes
All prizes mentioned below are chess.com memberships at diamond level. Because these cannot be shared we have used tie-breaks to distribute the prizes when players have the same score. The tie-breaks used were head-to-head result, the Sonneborn–Berger score and Rating Performance.
Allocating these prizes can take some time due to needing to collect chess.com membership details. Any winner not wishing to take up their prize can allocate it to a friend, or ask us to award it to another player of our choosing.
