Campionato britannico di scacchi

British Chess Championship, Torquay 2009

Il Campionato britannico di scacchi (British Chess Championship) si è svolto ufficialmente a partire dal 1904 in varie città del Regno Unito per determinare il campione nazionale di scacchi.

Attualmente non esiste una federazione unica che rappresenta tutto il Regno Unito. L'Inghilterra, la Scozia e il Galles mandano per esempio squadre separate alle olimpiadi degli scacchi e ad altre competizioni a squadre. L'Irlanda del Nord organizza un proprio campionato, denominato "Ulster Chess Championship". Il campionato britannico viene attualmente organizzato dalla English Chess Federation.

Nel 1866 la British Chess Association (BCA) organizzò il primo campionato britannico ufficiale, chiamato allora "BCA Challenge Cup". Questi tornei si svolsero solo fino al 1872.

Dal 1862 al 1899 la British Chess Federation (BCF) e la British Chess Association organizzarono saltuariamente dei Congressi, il cui vincitore veniva considerato a volte, sia pure non ufficialmente, il campione britannico. Erano ammessi giocatori di qualunque nazionalità.

Dal 1904 al 2003 il campionato divenne ufficiale ed era aperto a giocatori appartenenti a tutti i paesi del Commonwealth Britannico. A partire dal 2004 è stato deciso che solo giocatori di nazionalità britannica avrebbero potuto prendere parte al campionato.
