- Linares 1997
|
The 14th Annual Linares Super Tournament held in 1997 was a category XVIII event. Twelve of the world's top players, including the World Champion, competed in a round robin format. The participants were (in order of ELO): Garry Kasparov (2795), Vishwanathan Anand (2765), Vladimir Kramnik (2740), Vassily Ivanchuk (2740), Veselin Topalov (2725), Boris Gelfand (2700), Alexei Shirov (2690), Michael Adams (2665), Predrag Nikolic (2655), Alexey Dreev (2650), Judit Polgar (2645), and Jeroen Piket (2640). Kasparov dominated in his usual manner, this time scoring wins against 2nd through 6th place. The final standngs and crosstable are as follows: 1 Kasparov 8.5/11 * 1 1 1 1 1 0 = 1 = = 1

33 games, 1889-1952 - London 1883
|
In the late Spring of 1883, 14 chess masters were invited to participate in a double round robin event in London, England. Among the attendees were the very best players in the world at that time, including Wilhelm Steinitz, Simon Winawer, Johannes Zukertort, and Joseph Henry Blackburne. The tournament was held from April 26th to June 23rd at Victoria Hall in the Criterion. The prize money up for the seven top places was broken down as such: 1st= £250, 2nd= £150, 3rd= £120, 4th= £90, 5th= £70, 6th= £50 and 7th= £25. In addition, a Löwenthal Consolation Prize of £50 was established to be distributed among the players who did not place, applying the Gelbfuhs system. It marked the first time at an international tournament that all the players' expenses would be covered to some degree. Games started promptly at noon and continued until 5pm where a two hour adjournment was held for supper. Then games would resume at 7 and continue until 11pm. The time control for the tournament was 15 moves every hour. A new innovation for measuring the players' time was introduced here, a pair of connected stop-clocks designed by Thomas Bright Wilson (based on advice from Blackburne). The premise behind the clocks was that one player stopped his clock after his move and his opponent's clock would then begin running and vice versa. Among the rules for this tournament, draws had to be replayed either until a decisive result was achieved, or until the third game where any result counted. Draws were scheduled to be replayed on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and only when no pairing conflicts existed. During the first cycle of games, a holiday was permitted to the players in order to attend the Derby. It was during this extra rest day that construction of platforms in the hall commenced so that visitors and spectators could observe the remainder of the games for the tournament. This resulted in over a hundred people attending on June 7th to watch the Steinitz-Zukertort game during the second cycle. Arthur Skipworth abandoned the tournament shortly after the resumption of the second half. His remaining games were forfeited to the opponents, and they have been excluded from this collection. Also of note is the missing replayed draw of Rosenthal and Blackburne's from the second cycle. It was determined by the organizers that since the tournament was continuing on prohibitively and that the game would not affect the standing of either player it was not required to be played. As result, neither player received a score for the game. The tournament was a runaway success for Zukertort. In the first twenty-three rounds his score was an astounding (+22 -1 =0)! However, the length and strain of the tournament took its toll on Zukertort and he used opium during the final three rounds to help himself relax, which would contribute to his losses in those games. James Mason held second place at the end of the first cycle of games, but would eventually fall to shared fifth with George Mackenzie and Berthold Englisch. He was replaced at second for the tournament final by Steinitz, followed by Blackburne at third employing a more solid approach, with Mikhail Chigorin taking fourth place. Though Steinitz crushed the weaker opposition, his unusual style of play that had won him Vienna a year earlier, proved inconsistent against the top players here and failed to secure him enough wins to challenge Zukertort for first. Samuel Rosenthal, another strong master who had contested a match with Zukertort three years earlier, fell victim to the tournament's draw policy. He was forced to replay a majority of his games, earning twenty-six decisive results, but through playing 45 games total over 59 days. His one consolation was a brilliancy prize he won for defeating Steinitz in a replayed game. During the prize ceremony at the end of the tournament, a toast was made to the best player in the world. Steinitz, who was crippled at the time, struggled to rise, but Zukertort was already standing and accepting the accolades. A red-faced Steinitz remained in his seat and was forced to endure the applause. Steinitz would prove the better player in his match with Zukertort three years later, a match which would be heralded as the first official world championship of chess. The fact remains, however, that Zukertort was seen by many at the time of this tournament as the best player in the world and some historians even regard the tournament itself as an unofficial world championship in the tradition of London 1851 and London 1862.

242 games, 1883 - London 1899
|
In the late spring of 1899, eighteen of the world's best chess masters were invited to participate in a double round robin tournament in London, England. Among those who attended were the World Champion, Emanuel Lasker, and the former world champion, Wilhelm Steinitz. Of the eighteen invited, Tarrasch declined his invitation, citing his medical practice as the higher priority. Charousek wished to attend but an illness at the time (which later proved fatal) prevented him. Amos Burn, who had agreed to come, left the first day when called away on business. The remaining fifteen players gathered in St. Stephen's Hall, found near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Aquarium, where their play was dwarfed each day by the towering statues of historic statesmen. The time control for the tournament was set at fifteen moves every hour. Over the course of the tournament, the players were entertained and treated in a number of ways, including exhibitions by the London Chess Club at the Crystal Palace and gatherings at the Star and Garter Hotel in Richmond (a favorite stop over of Charles Dickens). Among the festivities, a banquet was held for the players at the Cafe Monaco on June 29th. The early rounds of the tournament proved surprising as Janowski took off with an early lead of 4 points after the first four rounds, while Lasker, who had dominated at Nuremburg in 1896, held only two points. It was at this point in the tournament that Richard Teichmann had to withdraw due to an eye infection (the same that later left him blind in one eye). His remaining games in the first half were considered lost by forfeit and those games have been excluded from this collection. The tide turned though, as Lasker's loss to Blackburne in the fourth round proved to be his only defeat. He went on to defeat Janowski in their first head-to-head game in the tenth round, and then never gave up the lead for the rest of the tournament. He finished four and a half points ahead of the shared seconds, once more asserting his dominance against the field of candidates vying for his crown. It was also to be an unfortunate landmark for Steinitz, who finished a tournament for the first time in his life without a prize. It was also to be his last for he died in poverty a year later.

186 games, 1899 - Mikhail Tal
30 games, 1953-1992 - Milan 1975
|
Since the introduction of the ELO rating system earlier in the decade, the 1970s saw a resurgence of the so-called "super" chess tournament where the very best in the world gathered to compete at international events. 1975 was one of the biggest years of the decade in that regard as a number of international "super tournaments" were held in which top rated masters participated. Milan, Italy in late summer saw the attendance of twelve such top rated world grandmasters, including the newly designated world champion, to its round robin event. The participants were (in order of ELO): Anatoli Karpov (2705) from the Soviet Union; Tigran Petrosian (2645) from the Soviet Union; Mikhail Tal (2645) from the Soviet Union; Lajos Portisch (2635) from Hungary; Bent Larsen (2625) from Denmark; Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2615) from Yugoslavia; Jan Smejkal (2600) from Czechoslovakia; Svetozar Gligoric (2575) from Yugoslavia; Ulf Andersson (2565) from Sweden; Walter Browne (2550) from the United States; Wolfgang Unzicker (2535) from West Germany; and Sergio Mariotti (2495) playing for his home country of Italy. The combined ratings of all the grandmasters qualified the tournament as a category XV event, making it stronger than most other international tournaments seen up to that point. Games were played from August 20th to September 14th. In addition to a round robin all-play-all format, a series of semi-final and final matches among the top four finishers were devised to follow the tournament. This would turn out to be a blessing for the Soviet grandmasters as the final of the tournament proper saw Portisch finish clear first, a half point ahead of shared seconds Petrosian, Karpov, and Ljubojevic. While Portisch dispatched Ljubojevic in their semi-final match, Petrosian and Karpov drew their match, allowing the higher rated world champion a shot at the tournament leader in the finals match for first place. Karpov only managed to win one game, but it was enough to put him over the edge and finish the entire event as clear first ahead of Portisch. It was to be one of the earliest of what would be copious super tournament victories for the new world champion.

86 games, 1975 - Montreal 1979

In the spring of 1979, Lubomir Kavalek, along with Czech filmmakers Milos Forman and Ivan Passer, organized a double round robin tournament to be held in Montreal, Quebec from April 10th to May 7th. Dubbed "The Tournament of Stars," the event was attended by ten of the very strongest grandmasters at the time, including the world champion. The complete list of players was (in order of ELO): Anatoli Karpov (2705), Lajos Portisch (2640), Boris Spassky (2640), Bent Larsen (2625), Jan Timman (2625), Mikhail Tal (2615), Vlastimil Hort (2600), Robert Hübner (2595), Lubomir Kavalek (2590), and Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2590). As a result, the average ELO rating for the tournament was 2622, making "The Tournament of Stars" a category XV event. It was also one of the strongest tournaments ever organized at that time. The only two top-ten rated players missing were Bobby Fischer (who was reclusive at the time) and Viktor Korchnoi (who was being boycotted to secure Soviet participation). The players stayed at the Meridian Hotel overlooking downtown Montreal, and they played at the Quebec Pavilion. The prize fund for the event was $110,000 and the chief arbiter was Svetozar Gligoric. Portisch and Ljubojevic started out strong, but were eventually overtaken after the halfway point by the world champion Karpov and the then-current Soviet champion Tal. In the sixteenth round, Karpov fought hard to defeat Tal and gain the lead, but the former world champion held him to a draw. It was only by a brilliant win against Ljubojevic with the black pieces in the penultimate round that Karpov was able to tie Tal in the final round and share first place with him.

90 games, 1979 - Moscow 1935

NOTE : This collection has now been superceded by Moscow (1935) Ten years after the Moscow Tournament of 1925 ( See Game Collection: Moscow 1925 ) and following on from the Botvinnik - Flohr Match of 1933 (See Game Collection: Botvinnik-Flohr Match 1933 ), Nikolai Krylenko , the head of Soviet Chess decided it was time to test the progress of Soviet Chess against its Western counterpart. To this end eight Foreign Masters including two former World Champions were invited to pit their skills against twelve Soviet Masters in early 1935. The tournament opened on the 14th of February and finished on the 15th of March and was held in the Museum Of Fine Arts in Moscow. The joint winners were Botvinnik and Flohr but the star of the tourney was the undefeated third place getter 66-year-old Dr Emanuel Lasker who was half a point behind them. This was to be his last great tournament performance where he again finished above his great rival Jose Capablanca who was half a point behind in fourth place. This tournament also showed that with Botvinnik in their vanguard the Soviets were well on their way to becoming a major chess power. - The following year another Moscow Tournament took place.

190 games, 1935 - Moscow 1925

At the end of the Fourth Soviet Championship in 1925, Efim Bogoljubov emerged as the champion. He had participated as a Russian native even though he was currently living in Triberg, Germany at the time. Nikolai Krylenko, head of the Soviet Chess Association, in an effort to better popularize chess in the Soviet Union organized an international tournament of the scope seen in New York a year earlier. The event was held in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow from November 7th to December 10th. In addition to the Soviet Champion, ten foreign masters, including Emanuel Lasker and Jose Raul Capablanca, the former and current World Champions respectively, and ten Soviet players were invited to compete in the round robin format. Before the start of the tournament everyone expected a repeat of New York, with Capablanca and Lasker racing each other to the finish, but once it was under way Bogoljubov was the one who performed supremely, ultimately winning the tournament ahead of the two favorites. His victory was hailed as a Soviet triumph, and in truth the tournament was an unprecedented success for the Revolution. Hundreds of Soviet citizens gathered at the hotel to follow the games, and tens of thousands across the country awaited news from Moscow each day. The celebration would be a bitter-sweet one for Soviet Russia, however, as Bogoljubov would never participate in another Soviet event again. He defected a year later and eventually sought German citizenship, earning him the moniker "renegade" (just as Alekhine had as well).

210 games, 1925 - Moscow 1936
|
Following the enormous successes, and Soviet victories, of international tournaments in Moscow in 1925 and 1935, Nikolai Krylenko again sought to stun the chess world and The Soviet Union with a third international event between Soviet masters and their foreign counterparts. This time, however, he conceived of a more rigorous format, with the ten players (five Soviets and five foreigners) in a double round robin competition. The line up was impressive, with Capablanca and Lasker being asked back a third time to compete in Moscow, in addition to last year's winners Botvinnik and Flohr. The tournament was held in Moscow's famous Hall of Columns from May 14th to June 8th. Capablanca's near flawless accuracy and superiority in the endgame proved to be instrumental in winning the grand prize a full point over the future world champion Botvinnik. Lasker, who normally kept pace and often beat his successor to the crown at such events, started out strong, but at 68 years of age he became fatigued more easily and his performance suffered during the second cycle of games. The tournament brought immense excitement and interest, both to the citizens of the Soviet Union and to the greater world at large. Capablanca's first place was to be one of the last successes against the Soviet Chess School before Fischer's triumph 36 years later. It was also the last hurrah of Krylenko, the founder and organizer of the Moscow tournament. He was arrested in 1937 and died (some say "purged") the following year.

Three years after the zonal tournament won by Boris Spassky, another elite international tournament was organized to be held in the Soviet capital of Moscow in 1967. Dubbed the 50th Jubilee tournament, eighteen grandmasters were invited to participate in the round robin event. Many of the best grandmasters from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe participated, including the world champion Tigran Petrosian, former world champions Vasily Smyslov and Mikhail Tal, and world vice-champions Boris Spassky, David Bronstein, and Paul Keres. This incredibly strong international gathering was won by three-time Soviet champion Leonid Stein with 11/17 at the final. The final standings and crosstable:

In the summer of 1923, the Witkowitzer Eisenwerke organized a round robin chess event to take place in Czechoslovakia. In addition to thirteen other European masters, a contract was secured for former world champion Emanuel Lasker to participate. The players were put up at the Hotel Royal and games were played from July 1st to the 18th in Witkowitz, a suburb of Ostrava. It was another successful tournament victory for Lasker, who won undefeated a full point ahead of second place Réti. The final standings and crosstable:

91 games, 1923 - New York 1924

NOTE : This collection has now been superceded by New York (1924) In December 1923 following an aborted attempt to arrange a World Championship match between Capablanca and Alyekhin, Herman Helms, publisher of the American Chess Bulletin, Harry Latz the General Manager of the Hotel Alamac in New York and Norbert Lederer the Secetary of the Manhattan Chess Club set about organizing a tournament to rival Cambridge Springs 1904.
The tournament took place in the Hotel Alamac from the 16th of March to the 18th of April 1924. The participants were Dr Emanuel Lasker, Capablanca, Alyekhin, Marshall, Janowski, Maroczy, Bogolyubov, Reti, Tartakover, Edward Lasker and Yates.
The time limit was 30 moves in 2 hours and 15 moves per hour thereafter.
Capablanca was expected to be the winner but the 55-year-old Dr Lasker proved that he was by no means a spent force and ran away with the tournament. In a number of ways the tournament paralleled the St. Petersburg 1914 Tournament with the top three place getters ten years older. It was also notable for Reti's use of his own Opening, Capablanca's first tournament loss in eight years and a number of masterpieces that were created. - Crosstable :

110 games, 1924 - New York 1857
|
The first American Chess Congress was held in New York City from October 6th to November 10th, 1857. Organized by Daniel Willard Fiske, the tournament was designed as a knockout format similar to the one seen at London in 1851, with the provision that draws did not count and had to be replayed. The first prize was $300. The sixteen best American chess masters were invited to participate in the event, including Paul Morphy and Louis Paulsen. Morphy dominated the event, sweeping each of his opponents until Paulsen in the final. Despite dropping one game in the final match, Morphy finished the tournament with an astounding 14 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. Not one to accept money for chess, Morphy turned down the cash prize in exchange for a silver tray, pitcher, and four goblets in its place. His victory cemented him as one of the best players in the world (if not the best), and prompted his tour across the Atlantic where he faced the best Europe had to offer in a series of matches, winning each and every one of them. Not long after his return to America, Morphy would retire from chess. The matches, final standings, and crosstables:
