The inaugural Hungarian Chess Championship was held in the city of Győr in 1906. Initially, there was no governing body responsible for its organization, until the formation of the Hungarian Chess Federation. The HCF first appeared in 1911, but failed to establish itself properly until 1923. The regularity of the Championship was patchy prior to 1950, due in part to the two world wars and inadequate funding. Since 1949 however, the HCF has been integrated with the Hungarian Sports Federation and so receives state support. Consequently, the Championship has since been held on an annual basis, with only the occasional omission. Exceptionally two consecutive events have occurred in the same year, due to the event being held at the year end. The VII championship, held in 1951, attracted twenty-one contestants. Gedeon Barcza was the clear winner with 17.5 finishing one and half points ahead of the second place finisher, Laszio Szabo. Elek kBakonyl followed in third with 14.5. Fourth and fifth were shared with Erno Gereben and Jozef Szily half point behind. A distant sixth and seventh were Pal Benko and Geza Filster at 12.5 each. Tibor Florian captured sole eighth place with 12. A three way tie for ninth through eleventh a point behind were Karoly Androvitzky, Jozef Hajtun and Ferenc Koberi. In twelfth was Jozef Pogats at 10.5. A full point behind was a three way tie Gyula Kinger, Elemer Szabadl and Lajos Tipary. In sixteenth through eighteenth another three way tie with scores of 8.5 were Deli Laszlo, Gyurgy Negyesy and Gyurtgy Szilagyl. A distant ninteenth was Forenc Elgier at 6 point with Pal Gracs at 5.5, Jeno Kapu at 5 and Istav Gecsel at 4 points.
