The **PCW Microcomputer Chess Championship** was held six times from 1978 to 1983 as part of the Personal Computer World exhibition in [|London], [|United Kingdom]. The third event was declared the First World Microcomputer Chess Championship, as well as the First European Microcomputer Chess Championship (inofficial ). The remaining three PCW events were further subsequently declared European Microcomputer Chess Championship. David Levy remarks in his 1978 report that he is beginning to prefer computer chess to competing in international tournaments.
