Williamson Shield (photograph, Damien Lavery, 2008) |
A second series started in 1923 but ended in 1929 with the demise of Strandtown Chess Club, the club to whom the Shield had been presented. Competition for the Shield resumed in 1945, now under the auspices of the Ulster Chess Union and has continued for a further 70 years.
An account of the early years of the Williamson Shield, including the circumstances surrounding its donation, the difficulties encountered in starting the competition and reports on the first three championships can be found in The Williamson Shield 1904-1914.
H. B. Williamson himself is profiled in the Time Traveller article In search of the donor of the Williamson Shield.
