FIDE World Chess Championship 1999

FIDE World Chess Championship 1999

The FIDE World Chess Championship 1999 was held in Las Vegas, United States, between 31 July and 28 August 1999. The championship was won by Russian Alexander Khalifman, making him the FIDE World Chess Champion.

Format

The format was a knockout tournament of short matches. This was similar in style to that used at the FIDE World Chess Championship 1998, and had the same advantages and disadvantages - see FIDE World Chess Championship 1998#Controversies.

A change from the 1998 championship was that incumbent champion (Anatoly Karpov) had no special privileges, other than that he (like a number of leading players) was seeded into the second round. In protest at this, Karpov refused to play. [ [http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic247.html The Week in Chess 247] , 2nd August 1999]

Controversy and non-participants

In addition to Karpov, neither Garry Kasparov nor Viswanathan Anand took part. Kasparov, holder of a rival world championship title, refused to play in any of the FIDE knockout championships, and Anand was negotiating to play a match against Kasparov for his title. [ [http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/event/wijk2000/wijk0.html Opening Ceremony for Wijk aan Zee] , The Week in Chess, Special Report, 14-Jan-2000] (This match never took place - see Classical World Chess Championship 2000).

Kasparov was dismissive of the FIDE event, saying that most of the participants were "tourists". [ [http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic249.html The Week in Chess 249 - 16th August 1999] ]

Winner Khalifman was rated 44th in the world at the time, [ [http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic243.html The Week in Chess 243 - 5th July 1999] ] , which some compared unfavourably to PCA champion Kasparov being rated #1. Khalifman said after the tournament, "Rating system works perfectly for players who play only in round robin closed events. I think most of them are overrated. Organizers invite same people over and over because they have the same rating and their rating stays high." [http://www.chessscotland.com/archives/lasvegas99.htm Press Conference with FIDE Champion Alexander Khalifman] , August 28 1999, Chess Scotland] Perhaps in response, Khalifman was invited to the next Linares chess tournament, and performed creditably (though placing below joint winner Kasparov).
