Reason why the title "World champion of chess" is actually meaningless

Speaking of "champion (champion)" is a title given to those who have won the championship such as boxing and quizzes, it is considered to be the most excellent person in that field. However, to talk about chess, apparently it does not seem to be the strongest world champion world champion.

The World Chess Championship is an embarrassing anachronism. It's time to end it forever.

The simple question of "Which of the world's best chess-FIDE rate is stronger?" Is a theme shared by chess enthusiasts around the world. In response to this simple question, crossword puzzler writer Matt Gafney declares FIDE as the root of all evils is in the existence of FIDE which has issued rating points while certifying the world champion of chess It is clarifying the view that it should shift to a new system.

◆ World champion of chess
The history of chess world champion is very old, the bishop of the Kingdom of Spain which became the champion in 1560Louis Lopez de SeguraIt is said to be the beginning. In 1886, the world's first official world championship took place in the Austrian EmpireWilhelm SteinitzWon the title and win the title of the world champion that everyone admits. Mr. Gaffney said the chess before Steinitz appeared was a beautiful and romantic game sacrificing a cup of boxes to chase the opponent's king, but with his appearance, playing on a calm and reasonable defense I am evaluating that it changed into a style to do.

Mr. Gaffney said that 60 years after Steinitz became the champion was a ridiculous rule on parade. The rules of the world championship have been changed frequently and the champion can not only defend the throne in a draw but also when there is a time when guarantees are guaranteed even if I lose and there is also a time when the champion was given up to the challenger's right to challenge . For this reason,Alexander AlehinHas succeeded in defending the title for more than 20 years by choosing only those who can definitely win in the 1920s and 1940s.

In 1933 he came to Japan as a part of the world tour, Alehin who won the simultaneous game at the Imperial Hotel at the Imperial Hotel and won the game.


The birth of the International Chess Federation (FIDE)
In 1924, FIDE, the international organization of chess, was founded in Paris for the first time in the world. However, because the Soviet Union of Chess power who produced Alehin refused accession to FIDE for political reasons, the authority of FIDE was not that large. However, when Alehin suddenly died in 1946 as a world champion and chests 'heavyweight, FIDE announced the holding of a new world championship to decide chess' world championship, and as a result of the Soviet Union participating in this tournament, The authority of FIDE has increased and since then it has become an organization that certifies the world champion of chess.

◆ FIDE to stray
The world championship sponsored by FIDE was initially to be held once every three years, but it was unpopular if the cycle was too long. In 1972, he took the title from the Soviet Union who continues monopolizing the world throne for many years and was called "the hero of the United States"Bobby FischerHe blames the system of FIDE furiously. As a result, the World Championship will be held once every two years, but we will eventually hold the criticism and hold it every year.

The stray of FIDE is not limited to the holding cycle of the world championship. FIDE introduced a rating analysis as an indicator to measure the strength of chess, so you will not know exactly who is the strongest. For example, Tigran Petrojan, who was the world champion from 1963 to 1969, had less than a year in FIDE rate at the top, mostly wandering around tenth place.

From 1993 to further expansion of chaos. At the time, FIDE's official regulation, FIDE president Florencio Campomanes was arbitrary and despite being decided by the three parties of the FIDE · world champion · challenger to decide the World Championship final match venue Decided to hold in Manchester by prejudice. Galli · Kasparov of the time and the challenger Nigel · Short who turned the flag against this was a new groupThe Procyes Association (PCA)And will decide to hold a world title match independently. Naturally FIDE did not recognize the existence of PCA, deprived the title of the champion from Kasparov, also declared the holding of the world title match here. At last, there are two world champions of chess. I do not know who is the world's strongest chess player more and more.

Kasparov, as "human representative" IBM computer "deep blueIt is also famous for playing against.

Ultimately, PCA disappears spontaneously by the departure of Intel which was the main sponsor in 1996, FIDE secures the seat of the chess world leader again. However, the classical world championship held by PCA will continue to be held after the disappearance of the PCA, the state of the two world champions will continue. In 2006, the title unification fight between FIDE official champion and classical champion was held,Vladimir KramnikWill become the unified champion finally the world champion will be alone. Nonetheless, it is unclear who is the strongest as a result of the presence of the FIDE rate.

Recommendation by Gaffney
Lamenting the current situation that chess' world's strongest player is not clear, Mr. Gaffney is strongly calling for a change to a new system. According to Gaffney, he said chess should be aiming for tennis, not boxing. In other words, I claim that the title "world champion of chess" should be eliminated from this world and that the four big tournaments all chess players should aim at, the so-called Grand Slam. In the Gaffney proposal, the venue for the Grand Slam is held in major cities of Chess powers, Russia's Moscow / Netherlands Amsterdam / Spain Linares, the rest of the country is to be held around the world cities every year.

Mr. Gaffney believes that the world chess championship 2013 should be controlled by young genius Carlsen 22 yrs to realize the chess Grand Slam. And Carlsen, who became the world champion, is developing a hot opinion that the chess Grand Slam tournament should be held by killing the title of the champion and working on FIDE.

The World Chess Championship 2013 is scheduled to be held until November 28th, will the history come to a new phase?
