There were a number of withdrawals from the event, including Toby Straton, (who was leading at the time he felt he needed to withdraw), with about half of these relating to the pandemic.

Sincere thanks to the players who entered at this difficult time; to the Launceston Chess Club for their superb hosting; and to Kevin Bonham for his expert Direction of play.
