It was still a remarkable record of 87 classical British Championship games without a single defeat. The 108-player 2026 British Championship, with a total prize fund of £34,000, finishes on Sunday at the University of Warwick in Coventry. Royal’s game as Black sgainst Adams will be viewable with computer analysis on lichess with grandmaster commentary on YouTube. Immediately after her victory, Sivanandan was interviewed for the live commentary by GM Nick Pert.
