Giant Slayer Prizes
The prizes listed below were £50 vouchers for the Chess & Bridge online store. They have been awarded to the players who achieved the biggest “upset” in their section of the event. Defeating a player rated 100 points above would give a “slayer-score” of 100 (the rating difference), while drawing against the same opponent would give a “slayer score” of half the rating difference.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | Rithvik Deepak Ambattu (1735) | Max Pert (2200) | Win | 465 |
| Major | Charlie Qin (1612) | Paul Kenning (1788) | Win | 176 |
| Inter | Oscar Qin (1397) | Joshua Davis (1629) | Win | 232 |
| Minor | Mikhail Tsarev (857) | Brian Kirby (1219) | Win | 362 |
Chess.com membership prizes.
The prizes listed 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 number of wins and Buchholz (roughly the sum of opponents’ scores).
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.
| 1st Place | 2nd Place | 3rd Place | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 month diamond | 3 month diamond | 3 month diamond | |
| Open | FM Koby Kalavannan | Rithvik Deepak Ambattu | IM Richard Pert |
| Major | Chris Willoughby | Andy Hartland | Sam Gaffney |
| Inter | Sergejs Staroduvcevs | Joshua Davis | Daniel Such |
