Maurice W. Johnson
 |
Maurice W. Johnson (born 18 July 1940 in New Malden Surrey, England) is a retired English International Correspondence Chess Grandmaster (title awarded in 1995)[1], reaching an ICCF rating of 2618 in 1998.
Johnson won the British Correspondence Chess Association championship title as an outright winner for 3 consecutive years in 1989, 1990, and 1991[2], remaining the only player to do so since it started in 1906. This achievement saw him awarded the BCCA Millards Silver King Trophy but Johnson donated the trophy back to the British Correspondence Chess Association some time later, where it has since remained in storage.[3]
In 1997 Johnson wrote the article "How I became a CC grandmaster" for the inaugural issue of the correspondence chess magazine Chess Mail.[4]
