There was a time when Harrogate had three congresses each year, all run by outsider organisers: Castle Chess, Noel Boustred, and the 4NCL. The first-named appears now to limit itself to events in Fareham which is nearer the organisers’ homes; their 23rd event happened to be running in Fareham concurrently with this event. The second-named, who was playing here in the Under-1700, seems not to have resumed congress-organising activity since Covid. So, now there is just the 4NCL Harrogate Congress, unless Noel stirs his stumps again. (Apparently, he does have a peripheral connection with Harrogate in that his sister lives there and presumably charges him cheaper rates for accommodation than the average Harrogate hotel.)

This event had 180 participants distributed across 3 sections as follows:

Section	Participants
Open	49
Under‑2000	62
Under-1700	69
total	180

As with other 4NCL events, many of the games could be followed live on the internet, but it was difficult finding any Yorkshire players’ games worth publishing here (i.e. interesting or amusing enough to the writer at least, and not too embarrassing for the players). On-line games, on Lichess at least, went a little odd in round 5. Amongst other things, Jim Vickery was recorded as winning with Black in 13 moves, yet play continued with the 0‑1 displayed on screen though that error was in time corrected. The game was actually agreed drawn in 21 moves.

Meanwhile, Storm Isha was fulfilling its potential to cause problems. On the railways, for example, the 16.58 and the 17.52 from Lancaster to Leeds were cancelled “because of heavy rain flooding the railway”, and it may have been only a matter of time before the 18.15 was cancelled (still shown running as at 16.54) since the 18.58 and 20.18 were already also cancelled. Three rail operators were advertised as having problems. Exit routes from Harrogate may have been easier.

Back at the Swan Hotel, in the Open, 7 players were not included in the final-round pairings, suggesting players where hasting home because of Storm Isha. Similarly, a further 15 players were not in the Under-2000 final round pairings. The Under 1700 players were apparently made of sterner stuff (or lived locally), as only 3 of those who had played in round 4 were absent from the final-round pairings.

Nevertheless, the hope of prize money may have induced some players to defy Isha. For instance, going into the 4th round in the Under 1700 section, Leeds junior Toby Quaite was one of two players on 4 out of 4, a point ahead of 13 players on 3 out of 4 (none on 3½). As is often the case in such circumstances, the two players on 4, meeting in the final round, agreed a draw, so ensuring they shared 1st-2nd= places (£750 in prize money), leaving the following thirteen players to fight over 3rd and 4th place prizes (total £200).

Another “Leeds junior” was playing on board three in the final round of the Open, lying in 2nd-12th equal position on 3 out of 4, ½ a point behind the sole leader. Gary Senior was a promising Leeds junior back in the later 1970s, though now lives up to his surname and plays for Hendon (in Middlesex).

Round-by-round results and final scores were as follows:
