The English Chess Federation has announced a new award. The John Robinson Fellowship will be awarded annually by the ECF to a talented English player, male or female, under the age of 21. The fellow will receive at least £2,000 to support their playing activities over the following year. The recipient will either already be a Grandmaster or have realistic aspirations to the Grandmaster title.

The award of the Fellowship is made possible by the generous bequest made by John Robinson, arbiter and organiser, who died in 2006.
The first award will be announced shortly and the presentation made during the British Championships.
