From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ulster Chess Championship is an annual chess tournament organised by the Ulster Chess Union which has been held since 1892. It is currently open to all players who qualify as having been born in any of the 9 counties of Ulster. Nearly all Championships since 1982 have been played in Belfast. Among the winners in recent years have been two players, both also Irish Champions, who now have the title of International Master (IM), Mark Orr (4 times, most recently in 2001/02) and Brian Kelly (1994/95). Recent winners are

  • Michael Waters (4 times)
  • Stephen Scannell (8 times)
  • Eugene O'Hare (6 times)
  • Adrian Gillen (3 times)
  • Tom Clarke (3 times)
  • Michael Holmes (twice)
  • Stephen Gillen (twice)
  • David Houston (4 times)

Some winners have represented Ireland at chess Olympiads and European Team Chess Championship.[1][2]
