Hamilton Chess Club

The Len Whitehouse Cup is awarded every year in memory of an early member of the club who sadly passed away soon after the first Waikato Open. It is awarded to the player, being a resident of the greater Waikato area, who scores highest in the Open division of the tournament. The cup has been awarded continuously for a total of 21 years. This year club member Eddie Tan claimed the honours. Eddie is a recent import from the UK and is proving a strong player at club nights
