The history of World chess championships

Unofficial Champions (before 1886)

The official world championship is generally regarded to have begun in 1886, when the two leading players in the world played a match. However, a line of players regarded as the strongest (or at least the most famous) in the world extends back hundreds of years beyond them, and these players are sometimes considered the world champions of their time.

The Mexico 2007 FIDE World Chess Championship will take place in Mexico City (Mexico), beginning 12th September.

Boris Gelfand is 39 years old and he is the oldest player in the World chess championship (WCC) 2007 in Mexico city. His FIDE rating is 2733.

6th Georgiev-Kesarovski Memorial takes place in Sunny Beach (Bulgaria), from 10th to 18th of September, 2007. The prize fund is 11 000 BGN (5 500 EUR). 118 players take part in that event. For up to date information, results, pairings, chess games and photos, please go to the official site:
