Chess Scotland would like to thank Mrs Margaret Munn and the family of Walter Munn for their continued support of the Junior Grand Prix and their recent generous donation in memory of the former Scottish Chess Association President.

The Walter Munn Junior Grand Prix is now in its tenth year and continues to provide exciting and hard fought competition throughout the year, benefiting junior chess, junior chess events, full weekend congresses and the Scottish Championships.

Among the names of previous winners are many gifted young players who continue to play today, with some of the earlier winners now contributing to the organisation of events and the coaching of juniors. Also featured among the previous prize winners are a high proportion of young players who have represented Scotland at international level.

Chess Scotland is grateful for the recent gift and in accepting it Chess Scotland warmly acknowledges the huge commitment made by Walter Munn to the game of chess in Scotland and the continuing legacy that the Walter Munn Junior Grand Prix provides junior chess in Scotland with.
