The number of boards increased in 1989.

Walrus 2014 and 2015
Walrus 2015 07/05/2015 : Wolverhampton fail to retain the Walrus Trophy.  Rushall equal Wolverhampton's winning 7 point total of 2011.   Well done Rushall and Walsall Kipping on achieving 2nd place.  Next year Rushall host but can they retain the Walrus?
Walrus 2014 15/05/2014 : Wolverhampton win Walrus and deprive Walsall Kipping of an hat trick at Wolverhampton. In an historical repeat of 2011 Paul Walters is the last board playing and the board result is decisive. Wolverhampton were outgraded on some boards and had the lowest combined grade total. Wins against higher grades for Peter Griffith, Barry Lewis, Steve Wilson, Paul Walters and solid draws for Lewis Clarke, and solid draws from Peter Jones, Dave Wightman equalled last year's winning score and elevated Wolverhampton just 0.5 points above 2nd place Rushall. Well done all and thank you to to all teams and players for making it an exciting and memorable night of chess battles. full scores in Walrus section and Walrus archives. Date and venue:
