AB8877665513 hours ago · Nov 2, 2024, 4:34 AM | 0. The World Chess Tournament is one of the most prestigious events in the realm of competitive chess, showcasing the pinnacle of strategy, intellect, and artistry on the board. Each tournament brings together the finest players from around the globe, each vying for the title of World Champion.
The championship was fixed to a three-year cycle, with each challenger decided by a Candidates Tournament. In 1993, the short-lived Professional Chess Association (PCA) split from FIDE, and as a result there were two competing World Championship titles between 1993 and 2006.

"Computer Aggregated Precision Score" (CAPS) is a system created by Chess.com. It shows how close a player's moves come to those recommended by the best computers and is expressed as a score on a 0-100 scale. Every CAPS score can also be converted into an estimate of the rating a player would acquire over time, if playing regularly at that accuracy...
This storied event, the first great international tournament, could fit cozily into the under-2200 section of a modern event. Adolf Anderssenwon the knockout event (the only such on our list, hence the uneven number of games played by each participant) with an impressive-enough Estimated Elo of 2120. I find Anderssen to be somewhat underrated in th...
International chess is clearly at another level by the end of the 19th century. In London 1851, less than half of the participants have estimated Elo ratings over 2000; by Hastings 1895, the vast majority of players (17 out of 22) are over that threshold. Harry Pillsbury's Estimated Elo of 2516 is a world away from Anderssen's 2120. It's worth repe...
The players who most challenge the estimated Elo system are Lasker, GM David Bronstein, and GM Viktor Korchnoi—players who believe that chess is a struggle, whose games feature all sorts of mistakes and imbalances but who manage to get their opponents into a knife-fight where nerves and tactical sense prevail. Nowhere is this more true than at St. ...
The same pattern holds in New York 1924. Again, Capablanca's Estimated Elo was far higher than Lasker's, by 200 points. This time Capablanca succeeded in winning one of their individual games. But once again Lasker won the tournament, even if his Estimated Elo would have placed him seventh out of eleven. A testament to his fighting spirit and his a...
AVRO was supposed to be the challenge of a younger generation, preeminently GM Mikhail Botvinnik and GM Samuel Reshevsky, to the elite mainstays, notably Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine. Instead, Capablanca and Alekhine were non-factors in the tournament, although the computer likes how Capablanca played more than his final standing. Instead, the...
The 1948 World Championship tournament was a real mess from a playing quality standpoint, with all of the top players playing well below their peak. The five players here averaged an Estimated Elo of just 2478, 130 points below the 2608 averaged by the AVRO players a decade previously. Even 35 years earlier at St. Petersburg, the top five finishers...
It's hard for me to explain why near-last-place Euwe has the second-highest estimated Elo of anybody at Zurich 1953, although it's true that he played better than his score would indicate and actually played the game of his career against GM Efim Geller. That's just one of several anomalies about estimated Elo scores at this event. GM Yuri Averbakh...
Petrosian, by now the reigning world champion, once again finished higher than his computer accuracy would indicate. I would have assumed his chess to be simpatico with the computer's vision, but while he was the overall most accurate player for a time in the late 1950s, he spent much of his world championship reign outside the top five.
I didn't know anything about this tournament, a glossy "Tournament of the Stars" which was won jointly by Tal and GM Anatoly Karpov. This was at the peak of Tal's renaissance. He dominated at the Interzonal at Riga the same year and there seemed good chances that he would retake the world title after a 20-year hiatus. Unfortunately, he did not make...

Dec 1, 2021 · Carlsen had to wait five years and nine days to win a classical world championship game. It took him two days to win this one. For game six, the players spent a staggering seven hours and 47 minutes at the board and finished 17 minutes past midnight in Dubai.
Dec 4, 2013 · The longest tournament chess game (in terms of moves) is 269 moves (Nikolic-Arsovic, Belgrade 1989). The game ended in a draw after over 20 hours of play. 10 games have been 200 moves or over in tournament play.
