This plastic trophy, incorporating a chess board, was the Lindley Chess Club trophy donated to the runner-up in their tournament. On transference to the Huddersfield Club it was first used for the winner of a junior section of the summer tournament. In recent times it has been used to be presented to the winner of a rapid play event.
