Click here for the official home page for the 11th Monarch Assurance Isle of Man International Chess Tournament  http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/monarch2002/index.html

For full coverage of the Monarch Open Tournament, you must visit the official home page, where webmaster John Saunders has excelled himself in providing all the results and reports.  I am particularly impressed with the PGN Download, which, when opened up allows you to play through all the games using Arasan 5.4.  I'm not at all sure how this is done, but I downloaded the Arasan program a while ago and the final PGN file will provide me with many enjoyable hours playing through the games in the coming winter months.

I have been unable to spend a lot of time updating this web-page, but I am still adding further game scores bit by bit as time permits.   chessmaster
