A geographically open five-round one-day junior rapidplay congress was organised by Jonathan Arnott at the Sheffield Chess Centre which was fairly recently opened at 329A Coleford Road, Sheffield, S9 5NF on Sunday 24th September 2023. The Open was won by Maksym Kryshtafor of York; he was the Under 8 Ukrainian Champion when he arrived in this country, so the 100% score is not that surprising!

Final cross-tables were as follows:
