FIDE World Chess Championship 2005 |

The FIDE World Chess Championship 2005 took place in Potrero de los Funes, San Luis Province in Argentina from September 27 to October 16, 2005. It was won by Veselin Topalov. Background In the face of criticism of the Knock-Out FIDE World Chess Championships held from 1998 to 2004, FIDE (the International Chess Federation) made changes for its World Chess Championship in 2005. It used normal (slow) time controls (unlike the 2002 and 2004 Knock-Out tournaments), and changed the format to an eight player, double round robin event, where every player plays every other player twice, once with each colour. The players invited were:
The opening ceremony took place on September 27, the matches started on September 28, and the closing ceremony took place on October 16. Results The final standings were:
The first tie-break was head-to-head results, the second tie-break was total number of wins. Topalov scored an extraordinary 6.5/7 in the first cycle, one of the greatest streaks in the history of championship-level chess. He then drew every one of his games in the second cycle, clinching the victory with one round to spare. This made Topalov the FIDE World Chess Champion. Aftermath FIDE declared before the tournament that they would regard whoever won as World Chess Champion. However, the non-participation of "Classical" World Champion Vladimir Kramnik meant that there were still two competing claimants to World Champion: FIDE Champion Topalov, and "Classical" Champion Kramnik. Kramnik announced before the tournament that he should not be required to compete; but that as part of the "Prague Agreement", his victory in the Classical World Chess Championship 2004 entitled him to direct entry to a match against the FIDE World Champion for the unified world title. After the tournament, he expressed his willingness to play such a match against Topalov. Although Topalov initially declined Kramnik's offer, he later acceded. The two contested the FIDE World Chess Championship 2006 to reunify the title, with Kramnik emerging the winner. |
