 The 41st Guernsey Chess Festival took place from October 18th through October 24th, 2015, at the Peninsula Hotel, Guernsey.
The event was sponsored by Intertrust Guernsey and Peninsula Hotel and was played in a 7-round Swiss FIDE format with the top prize in the amount of £ 1,200.
FM Thorben Koop of Germany clinched the title on a superior tie-break score after sharing 1-4th place with GM Petar Drenchev (BUL), GM Mark Hebden (ENG) and GM Marian Petrov (BUL). The winners scored 5.5/7 points each.
As the highest placed eligible player, Hebden received entry into the British Chess Championship.
