Once again sponsorship was provided by Monarch Assurance pic, the Isle of Man Tourist Board and The Cherry Orchard Hotel whose excellent accommodation and playing area combined with first-class service and food, made the hotel one of the best venues for top class chess. Most of the players stayed at the hotel. A coach tour was organised, beach football and table tennis matches which were much enjoyed by the more energetic and younger players. The tournament was a highly rated 9 round Swiss, the winner on tie break being Julian Hodgson. There were a number of overseas players including those from the Republic of South Africa, USA, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Croatia, Israel, Slovakia, Russia and Sweden. The 1996 tournament will enjoy additional sponsorship from Manx Airlines and is expected to be even more successful.
