About the 1982 Congress
The Surrey Easter Chess Congress 1982 was held at the Central Library, St Nicholas Way, Sutton, Surrey, over Easter weekend: 9, 10, 11 and 12 April 1982.
The official Surrey County Chess Association prize winners sheet records the prize winners from the Frank Winter Memorial Open, the Major Tournament, main all-play-all sections and novice events. Red manuscript marks on the source appear to be later prize-fund additions and have not been included here.
The Open was a 7-round Swiss with 84 competitors. The Major Tournament, for players under 150 grading, was also a 7-round Swiss and attracted 112 competitors.
Historical context
The 1982 congress continued the Sutton Central Library period of the Surrey Easter Congress, following the previous year's event at the same venue.
