Israeli Chess Championship
- Israeli Chess Championship
From 1951-1971, the men's and women's championships were held on odd years only. By 1971, the event was spanning into the following new year and consequently, although it remained a biennial event, the odd years gave over to the even years in subsequent editions.
The 1998 Championship was held 8–24 November in Ramat Aviv.The single-elimination tournament, 32 players in the men's section and 16 in the women's, used an unusual time control of 100 minutes for 30 moves + 30 seconds per move.GM Eran Liss won the men's final over GM Victor Mikhalevski.After tying their 2-game match with one victory apiece, they then tied an active chess playoff with one win and two draws each. In a 5-minute blitz playoff, Liss won 2–0.Irina Yudasina won the women's final over Ella Pitem with one win and one draw.
