    Schachweltmeister weltmeister“ wurden in Abgrenzung zur separa- ten Schachweltmeisterschaft der Frauen historisch auch als „Schachweltmeisterschaft der Männer“ be- zeichnet. Seit einer entsprechenden Klärung in den späten 1980ern steht der Titel aber generell Män- nern und Frauen offen. Beschränkt für Altersstu- fen gibt es die Juniorenweltmeisterschaft (U20), die Jugendweltmeisterschaften in den Altersklassen U8–U18 und die Seniorenweltmeisterschaft – alle ebenfalls offen für beide Geschlechter, aber auch mit eigenen Bewerben für Spielerinnen. Dazu gibt es Weltmeisterschaften im Blitzschach, Schnellschach und Fernschach. Weltmeisterschaften werden als Zweikampf über mehre- re Partien zwischen dem Weltmeister und einem Heraus- forderer ausgetragen. In den Jahren 1948 und 2007 er- mittelte man den Weltmeister dagegen durch ein Run- denturnier mit mehreren Teilnehmern. Der Herausfor- derer muss sich üblicherweise durch den Gewinn des Kandidatenturniers für den WM-Zweikampf qualifizie- ren. Eine zwischenzeitliche Trennung des Weltmeistertitels vom Weltverband FIDE seit 1993 wurde 2006 durch die Schachweltmeisterschaft 2006 behoben. Während dieser Zeit führte die FIDE Weltmeisterschaften durch, deren Sieger jedoch nicht als allgemein anerkannte Weltmeis- ter galten. 1 Die weltbesten Spieler vor Ein- führung der offiziellen Weltmeis- Oben: Logo des Weltschachbundes FIDE terschaftskämpfe Mitte: Weltmeister Michail Botwinnik 0000und Wilhelm Steinitz Unten: Schachweltmeisterschaft 2008 Der Titel Schachweltmeister ist die höchste Aus- zeichnung im Schachspiel, die – in der Regel – nach vorausgehenden Qualifikationsturnieren und schließlich durch einen Zweikampf um die Schachweltmeisterschaft vergeben wird.

  • Madrid Earlier Tournaments
    Madrid earlier tournaments The capital of Spain hosted an annual series of international supertournaments in the 1990s, the Magistral de Madrid 1992 – 1998, the winners were 1992 Karpov, 1993 Kramnik (tie-break), 1994 Judit Polgar, 1995 Korchnoi, at age of 64, 1996 Topalov (tie-break), 1997 Topalov (after Armageddon play-off vs. Shirov), and 1998 Anand; as well as the third match Soviet Union vs. Rest of the World (Rapid) in 1988, involving most of the strongest players of the world at that time, the oldest contestant, Viktor Korchnoi emerged as individual best on tie-break, alongside with then World Champion Garry Kasparov, both unbeaten, and Mikhail Gurevich, a top ten ranked player from 1988 to 1991. The line-up included amongst others also Portisch, Ljubojevic, Andersson, Speelman, and Beliavsky). This was also one of the first big Rapid events in chess history! Prior to that, some unregular organised invitation tournamants have been played in Madrid already, the winners were Koltanowski, Keres, Alekhine, Prins, Darga, Pérez, Pomar, Milic, Robatsch, and Karpov ➔ see on the following pages, and prominent simultaneous exhibition has been held, for instance Capablanca gave a simul in 1920, Lasker in 1921, Alekhine in 1923, then both, Alekhine and Capablanca in 1935 again, later Alekhine several times during World War II. ➔ Compare separate pdf-abstracts: Magistral de Madrid; and World vs. Soviet Union (Rapid) But competitive chess in Madrid has a longer history going back to 1575, with several games played at the court of the Spanish King Phillip II. It is considered to be the first international master-level tournament in the chess history, in which Leonardo and Boi took part against Lopez and Seron and won most of them.
