Sources and research notes · updated 9 October 2026

Season and winner list: Polish Wikipedia. Individual host-city links lead to results or the supporting source. N/A means the host has not been established. Empty fields are unverified. Games count board pairings, not PGN records.

The source lists 2023 as a calendar-year edition. Chess Scotland’s 2022 annual report confirms the absence of SNCL during the preceding pandemic years. Edition numbers count the 39 listed championships, omitting the pandemic interruption.
