P.S. Milner-Barry becomes British boy chess champion — 13 April 1923
A Cambridge boy, P S Milner-Barry, son of the late Professor Milner-Barry of De Freville Avenue, Chesterton, won the title of the first British boy chess champion. The title, which has been authorised by the British Chess Federation, was open to boys up to 18 years of age. Milner-Barry who is only 16 1/2 years of age, represented Cheltenham College in the competition, but his success also reflects credit on his old school, St Faith’s preparatory, and the Cambridge town chess club, of which he is the youngest member
