TheFIDE World Chess Championship 1999 was held atCaesars Palace on theLas Vegas Strip between 31 July and 28 August 1999.[1] The championship was won by RussianAlexander Khalifman, making him theFIDEWorld Chess Champion.

Format

[edit]

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

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.[2]

Controversy and non-participants

[edit]

In addition to Karpov, neitherGarry Kasparov norViswanathan 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.[3] (This match never took place – seeClassical World Chess Championship 2000.)

Only three players in the top fifteen reached the quarterfinals and by the semifinals most of the favourites had been eliminated. Kasparov called three of the quarterfinalists "tourists", perhaps intending only to reflect the surprising results of the earlier rounds, but the remark raised some controversy.[4]

Winner Khalifman was rated 44th in the world at the time,[5] which some compared unfavourably to PCA champion Kasparov being ranked No. 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."[6] Perhaps in response, Khalifman was invited to the nextLinares chess tournament, and performed creditably (though placing below joint winner Kasparov).[7]
