All about the British Chess Federation

This association was actually been started since 1904.  Nevertheless, over the years the British Chess Federation has been bombarded with controversies.  The controversy began because of the issue that the British Chess Federation is the main chess-governing centre all over the United Kingdom.  Moreover, to think that Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as the Channel Islands has their own association of chess for how many years.  They were thinking that the BCF does not fit on its name. 

With the controversies, emerging the British Chess Federation was later then changed to the English Chess Federation during the years of 2005-2006.  Despite the fact that the name of the BCF was changed however, the organization until this present moment is still operating.  In fact, the organization has still its own website where you can visit and read on their operations, services and offers.  During the early 90s the organization has been involved in a crusade that acquires companies by the guarantee status.  This goal was to produce more sponsors in money to the increasing number of its members, and the organizations events. 

On the other hand the best time about the organization was when it has been involved in the hosting of the British Chess championship which was often held since the early 1904.  Since then the events has been regular every year.  Recently, the English Chess Federation is also accountable for the financing and selection of the English chess team for the Chess Olympiad that is celebrated every two years.
