    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.
