Hampshire Chess Association

Founded 1890

Hampshire Individual Champions

The Hampshire Individual Tournament has taken place since at least 1930 and below are listed the winners as detailed on the Silver Rook trophy.

The most successful player in this period was Marshall Thompson who won the tournament nine times from 1958 to 1977. Tony Corkett has now won the title seven times, whilst Keith Gregory and F.Elwell have each won it five times. 

The Len Walters Trophy is awarded to the best performance by a Hampshire player graded under 160. There is also a trophy awarded for the best performance by a Hampshire player graded under 140 and I will add this when I have the details.
