Click on the year in the second column of the table below for games viewer, PGN, crosstables, results, photos, etc.
Other links shown are to biographical information about individual players On Wikipedia and elsewhere. for some of the most recent championships there is a second viewer for the games from subsidiary events.
The number in the extreme left-hand column of the table is the official number in the sequence of British Chess Federation (BCF) Congresses and British Championships. N.b. Not all the early BCF congresses featured a tournament for the British Championship. In 1919, 1922, 1927, 1930 and 1939 there were international or non-championship tournaments instead, and the British Championship title was not at stake. In 2020, the British Championships were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

1) the 1953-55 winners of the British Under 21 title are correct as shown above. They are shown incorrectly as 1955-1957 winners in some volumes of the BCF/ECF Yearbook (2001 onwards - still shown wrongly in the 2009 edition of the ECF Official Chess Yearbook).
2) David Rabinovich played off for the 1934 title with Frank Parr. David Rabinovich later changed his name to David Raeburn.
3) Alan Richard Duff (Leyton County High School) won the 1937 Boys' (U18) Championship after beating DK Green (Reading School) in a tie-break.

| Early 2000s? | I can't remember exactly when I started this page, to be honest. And I should have added an update list long before now, but hey... |
| 14 June 2021 | Joint 1973 British Girls' U18 champion was Elaine M Sadler, not Elizabeth M Sadler as given here previously. My thanks to Paul Georghiou for pointing this out. Paul provides some references to her by her correct name in SCCU bulletins. Try a search such as site:https://sccu-chess.com elaine sadler |
| 10 October 2021 | Added 2021 British champions as found at this page on the ECF site. |
