Is their then a Scottish Chess Federation and Welsh Chess Federation, etc if the ECF only control England? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.117.4 (talk) 08:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Query on historical accuracy
There is a dispute about whether the ECF was formed in 1904 or one hundred years later in 2004. Noted chess organiser Stewart Reuben disputes that the ECF was formed in 1904. See The history of the English Chess Federation JPF (talk) 10:40, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- No dispute. Stewart is correct - the wording here was a little misleading I'd say. I have altered it accordingly. Hpefully, it is at least an improvement on the old lead. Brittle heaven (talk) 14:28, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Scope when it was BCF
"It had long been argued in some quarters that the BCF should change its name to reflect the fact that only England came under its jurisdiction."
Does this mean that, even when it was the BCF, it always only actually covered England, except insofar as it administered the British Chess Championship? Or that it originally covered the whole of the UK, or the whole of Great Britain, but had been covering only England for a while before it became the ECF? If the former, any idea why it was called BCF rather than ECF in the first place? If the latter, when did it come to cover only England? — Smjg (talk) 23:17, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
