British Chess Championship

</h1>

</header>

The British Chess Championships are organised by the <a href="English_Chess_Federation" title="English Chess Federation">English Chess Federation</a>. The main tournament incorporates the British Championship, the English Chess Championships and the British Women's Chess Championship so it is possible, although it has never happened, for one player to win all three titles in the same competition. The English Women's Chess Championship was also incorporated into this event but did not take place in 2015 and was held as a separate competition in 2016. Since 1923 there have been sections for juniors, and since 1982 there has been an over-sixty championship. The championship venue usually changes every year and has been held in different locations in England, Scotland, Wales and once on the <a href="Isle_of_Man" title="Isle of Man">Isle of Man</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a>

The championship was originally open to citizens of any <a href="Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations">Commonwealth</a> country and has previously been won by <a href="Mir_Sultan_Khan" class="mw-redirect" title="Mir Sultan Khan">Mir Sultan Khan</a> (India) and <a href="Abe_Yanofsky" class="mw-redirect" title="Abe Yanofsky">Abe Yanofsky</a> (Canada). After the Indian <a href="R._B._Ramesh" class="mw-redirect" title="R. B. Ramesh">R. B. Ramesh</a> finished first in 2002 and several other Indians took top prizes at the same event, many top Britons declined to compete in the 2003 championship. Following the victory of Indian <a href="Abhijit_Kunte" title="Abhijit Kunte">Abhijit Kunte</a> in 2003 and criticism that the British Championship was not serving the interests of British players, it was announced that starting in 2004 only British and Irish players would be eligible to take part. Players excluded by these rules are however welcome to participate in the <a href="Commonwealth_Chess_Championship" title="Commonwealth Chess Championship">Commonwealth Chess Championship</a>.

The first British Championship was organized by the British Chess Association as an event at the 1866 London Congress.

A rule awarded the B.C.A. Challenge Cup permanently to a player who won two consecutive titles.
