  • 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.

Niets uit deze uitgave mag worden verveelvoudigd en/of openbaar gemaakt, door middel van druk, fotocopie, microfilm of op welke andere wijze ook, zonder voorafgaande schriftelijke toestemming van schaakvereniging Promotie te Zoetermeer Woord vooraf Het is een genoegen om dit boek, namens het bestuur van onze vereniging, van een woord vooraf te mogen voorzien. Allereerst natuurlijk omdat de reden voor verschijning een feestelijke is: vijftig jaren schaakvereniging Promotie wordt op deze manier gepast eer aangedaan. Nauwgezet, met gevoel voor de grote lijnen, maar ook met een scherp oog voor het detail leggen de auteurs vijftig jaar (schaak)geschiedenis vast met gebruik van alle middelen die schrijvers/historici ter beschikking staan: schriftelijke bronnen zijn geraadpleegd, interviews afgenomen en – in een enkel geval – is ook het gerucht als bron niet geschuwd. Vijf auteurs hebben aan het boek meegewerkt en, zoals schakers betaamt, hebben zij elk hun eigen kenmerkende stijl gehandhaafd tot in het uiteindelijke resultaat. Zo is Promotie: geen saaie, vlakke vereniging maar een bonte verzameling interessante schaakenthousiasten. Het boek verhaalt van vijftig jaren Promotie in Zoetermeer, van de roerige ontstaansgeschiedenis, van de groei-met-horten-en-stoten en van de daarop volgende periode van successen waarin de vereniging haar vleugels spreidde en media en maatschappij ontdekte.
