	Candidates Tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Candidates Tournament was a triannual chess tournament organized by the world chess federation FIDE as the final contest to determine the challenger for the World Chess Championship.
		Most of these qualified from Interzonal tournaments, though the top one or two from the previous Candidates tournament gained direct entry without having to play the Interzonal.
		Before 1965, the tournament was organized in a round-robin format.

		This will allow the billfish tournament community to have a pool of trained observers that may be utilized to conduct release or tag and release billfish tournaments on as fair a basis as possible and to realize the additional benefits which trained observers can provide.
		Although the number of billfish killed in tournaments has been on a decline due to the implementation of minimum size limits and various release formats, it should be possible to further reduce billfish landings by increasing the popularity of release format tournaments.
		Many tournaments want to support the concept of release tournaments but have faced strong opposition from participants who are not comfortable with the current status of observers used in some tournaments.

	Susan Polgar Chess Blog: YOUR voice in the World Championship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The old FIDE candidates match system is probably too expensive, and elimination mini-matches, are unacceptable, IMHO, and I think a lot of fans are in agreement with me. So this leads us to the obvious idea of having swiss style or round robin play for candidates matches down to, perhaps, a final 4, or 2.
		Simply put, the "candidate system" whatever it is should simply create an ordering of the players in some schedule such that if some player refuses to play (or can't because they are dead or something) then the system automatically adjusts with the remaining players.
		A "candidate" tournament between the best 8 should determine the candidate in a given year, and a title match should determine the champion a year later.

	Viktor Korchnoi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The central authorities prevented Korchnoi from playing any international tournaments, and even when invited by Paul Keres and Iivo Nei to participate in an International Tournament in Estonia, Korchnoi was not allowed to play, and both Keres and Nei were reprimanded.
		He qualified for the Candidates Tournament (the final 16) in the 1987, 1990 and 1993 World Championship cycles.

	Championship Chessmetrics Analysis by Jeff Sonas
		If it were necessary to include eight candidates, plus the champion (as is the case in Dortmund), the 30 days would be better spent in three rounds of 4-game knockout matches, followed by an 18-game match against the defending champion (60% effectiveness).
		The Einstein Group championships were treated as two simultaneous qualifier tournaments (each of which were 4-player double-round-robin tournaments that qualified two players), and then there were three rounds of knockout matches, with the champion entering the cycle in the third and final round of knockouts.
		It says that knockout tournaments work better, because the strongest players are in control of their own destiny, and nobody can finish ahead of you unless you are actually knocked out by someone.

		A candidate raised the question of whether campaign funds may be used to attend banquets, golf tournaments, and testimonials.

	2003 OSCA Candidate Statements
		Three years ago I was active, with others, in the establishment of the Ohio Scholastic Chess Association, which transformed Ohio scholastic chess from a somewhat nebulous organization of coaches and chess organizers into an association of member schools, with a clear set of by-laws and system of governance.
		We attended this tournament at the urging of a local chess master who had started an informal chess club at my son's school.
		My goals as a member of the Executive Board over the next two years would be to adopt a code of ethics for participants and all others involved in Ohio scholastic chess and to increase participation in scholastic chess, particularly in areas of the state where participation is currently low.

	GM Square >>> GM Alexander Baburin's Collector's Corner
		The Candidates' Tournament of 1959 had been originally planned for seven players (an odd number, remarkable), with a maximum of four from the USSR.
		The interzonal and candidates tournaments of that time not only duplicated each other, but severely discriminated Soviet players by imposing quota, even still in 1965 when the candidates tournament was held in the form of matches to make a Soviet-combine impossible.
		Tal, semi-finalist in the candidates tournament of 1968, did not take part in the Olympiad of Lugano in 1968, half a year later.

		After the war Keres faced the threat of arrest, for the crime (by Soviet standards) of having played in Nazi-organized tournaments during the German occupation of Estonia.
		Alekhine died in 1946, and the Hague-Moscow tournament of 1948 was held to fill the vacant title.
		Keres' failure in 1948 gave rise to speculation that he was forced by Soviet authorities to throw games to Botvinnik, who as a native Russian and loyal Communist, was a more desirable world champion by Party standards than the non-Russian, politically tainted Keres.

	The chess games of Mikhail Umansky
		I get the impression that the increase in "quality" in correspondence chess is more significant than the decrease in mistakes, although this doesn't equate to more interesting chess on the whole.
		I'm going to compare the percentage of draws in the candidates tournaments with a similar number of correspondence finals to get a better idea if this conjecture has any basis.
		: About the candidates tournaments: as you might expect 1959 was the fightingest (about 40% draws) second was 1962 (around 55%) an interesting point for drawing conspiracy theorists, in third place 1953 at about 56%.
