A 100-year-old county chess competition is marking its centenary with a special tournament to crown its greatest living player.
The annual county championship organised by Shropshire Chess ****** ociation is open to all residents, who compete across seven rounds for the Ernest Groom Trophy, first presented in 1926.
Chris Lewis is from the ****** ociation and said it had invited former champions from across the decades to compete in a one-off tournament in October, to find the "champion of champions" and celebrate the event's 100-year-history.
The winner will receive a £200 prize fund and a new trophy, with the Ernest Groom prize reserved for this year's county competition.
Lewis said the ****** ociation, which started in the 1800's, also organised three leagues across the county and included players from Shrewsbury, Telford, Church Stretton, Newport and Oswestry.

A new trading card game (TCG) shop in Shrewsbury has become a community hub for enthusiasts, with customers travelling from across the West Midlands to join in.
Owner Aydin Uyan said the shop's success had come through word of mouth after he spent several years on the scene selling cards at shows around the UK.
Uyan's shop Triple A Collectibles specialises in selling individual cards covering franchises including Pokémon, One Piece, Union Arena, Dragon Ball Z, Magic: The Gathering and Star Wars.
He told the BBC the community feel inside the premises was what set it apart.
"I was really busy on Saturday and a few of my regulars were in - I had one of them re‑sleeving cards, helping out," he said.

Shrewsbury Town boss Gavin Cowan has asked the League Two club's supporters to be optimistic about the coming campaign.
They have had little to cheer in the past two seasons, other than fighting off a second successive relegation in the last campaign.
The Shrews picked up 27 points from 19 games after Cowan's appointment in January to preserve their EFL status.
And the former Brackley boss now believes they can afford to harbour hope after a "really positive pre-season".
"I'm asking them to be optimistic, I'm not trying to give any false promises, but there's a lot of hope out there when you see the types of players that we've got," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

Tamworth have signed midfielder Oliver Dyson and left-back Joshua Bailey.
Dyson, 26, who has previously featured for York City and Barrow, joins the National League side from Spennymoor Town.
Bailey, 20, started his professional career with Shrewsbury Town and has joined Tamworth after an impressive season with Worcester City, where he scooped the players' player, supporters' player and young player of the season awards.

Shrewsbury Town have moved a step closer to being sold to an American consortium with the prospective buyers understood to be undergoing the English Football League's owners and directors test.
BBC Radio Shropshire reports that terms of a takeover have been agreed, with documents submitted this week to the EFL and the new Independent Football Regulator.
The League Two club announced in April they were negotiating with a US-based group over a possible deal, with several other parties also interested.
Long-serving Salop owner Roland Wycherley has been looking for a buyer since September 2024 and has had a number of prospective deals fall through over the past 12 months.
After negotiations with another potential American buyer ended in March 2025, a second bid from a different party six months later also collapsed.
