	FIDE World Chess Championship 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FIDE World Chess Championship, 2004 was held at the Almahary Hotel in Tripoli, Libya, from June 18 to July 13.
		FIDE announced that instead the winner of the next FIDE knock-out championship would play against Kasparov in a match to be held not later than July 2005 (Kramnik and Lékó were to play their match in September-October 2004).
		In response, FIDE said that the delay in sending Milov's invitation was due to Milov not sending them his passport details until a deadline had passed, and that even with this delay, Milov could still have arrived in Tripoli in time for his first game, which they had offered to postpone if necessary [10].

		The championship was conducted on a fairly informal basis through the remainder of the nineteenth century and in the first half of the twentieth: if a player thought he was strong enough, he would challenge the reigning world champion to a match.
		FIDE stepped in to organise a match tournament in 1948 between five of the world's strongest players: Mikhail Botvinnik, Max Euwe, Paul Keres, Samuel Reshevsky, and Vasily Smyslov (Reuben Fine was also invited, but declined to take part due to his doctorate degree requirements).
		The Women's World Championship was established by FIDE in 1927 as a single tournament held alongside the Chess Olympiad.

	ChessBase.com - Chess News - FIDE 2005 World Championship in San Luis, Argentina
		Well today, just 36 hours after the publication of our report, the World Chess Federation has announced that a sponsor has been found and that there is a guaranteed prize fund of US $1,000,000 available for the double round robin tournament to be held in San Luis, Argentina.
		The ongoing bidding procedure concerning the World Championship 2005 has been resolved in favour of the San Luis candidacy, whose negotiation team in Athens exercised the option provided in article 2.5.1 of the official regulations and offered on 15 April a prize fund of USD 1,000,000 (one million) for the event.
		FIDE is positive that the games will be held successfully in San Luis and this year's World Chess Championship will further establish the image of chess as a competitive and educational sport not only in Argentina but in the whole geographical region of South America.

		Steinitz had been the world's strongest active player for about 20 years, but no one dared to hold a championship match while Paul Morphy, an American who had dominated the world scene for a year and then retired, was still alive.
		Concurrently with the Kasparov-Short match, FIDE held its own "World Championship" Match between Jan Timman, the loser of the previous Candidates Final, and Anatoly Karpov, the loser of one of the semi-final matches (Yusupov, the other semi-final loser was, unaccountably, left out).
		After Cycle 17, FIDE abandoned its match based championship title entirely, and created a new, tournament-based Championship Title, built around the format of the 1997 Groningen Candidates, with the difference that future tournaments in the format would be used to crown a FIDE champion rather than name a challenger.

		The only circle of qualifying and championships is the one of Fide and while the status of the world champion will be different that what used to be it will still be legitimate champion.
		World championships (in any sports) are won by those who are best at THAT MOMENT and not necessarry best during longer period of time.
		FIDE, in truth, welcomes this element of randomness, for some stupid reason believing that having such unpredictable finishes every year is what the chess public and the public at large would like to see in order to remain interested in chess.

		Our careful reading of the full FIDE regulations has not revealed how long each stage of the Candidates Matches and of the World Championship Finals is. More than half of the published document that follows is devoted to details of the World Chess Cup (the knockout event).
		FIDE will send one of its representatives, a member of the WCCC or a representative appointed by the committee, as an observer to ensure that the event is held in line with the World Championship regulations.
		FIDE has exclusive commercial rights to the event and is free to exploit them commercially, including entering into advertisement agreements either with the Organisers or Sponsors of the tournament requiring players to wear clothes with the branding of sponsors.

		These talks have not brought any tangible results, the FIDE representatives remained adamant that the current "Player's Undertaking" had to be signed first by the players before anything else could be discussed.
		In spite of our endeavours, FIDE's insistence on sticking to a self-imposed schedule and refusal to address the participants' demands might lead to the absence of several top players in the 2004 FIDE World Championship.
		This effectively means that FIDE's attempt at a reunification of the chess world is doomed to failure from the very beginning.

	fork chess tactic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In chess, a fork is a tactic that uses one piece to attack two of the opponent's pieces at the same time, hoping to achieve material advantage because the opponent can only counter one of the two threats.
		The term "royal fork" is sometimes used to describe the situation where the king and queen are forked, and when three or more pieces are attacked by a knight concomitantly the situation is sometimes referred to as a "family check," especially (though not exclusively) if the king is one of the pieces so menaced.
		Here is an example of a fork is from the first round of the FIDE World Chess Championship, 2004 between Mohamed Tissir and Alexey Dreev.

	ACP Board and FIDE on World Championship Contract
		It has come to the attention of FIDE that the Association of Chess Professionals (ACP) has published a message to qualified participants of the 2004 World Chess Championship, not to hurry to sign the Players Undertaking and furthermore that the ACP has developed its own contract for the Championship.
		FIDE is asking all the qualified and reserve players to meet the above requirements.
		Since the publication of the "Player's Undertaking" by the FIDE Secretariat, several participants have expressed their concern to the ACP over many issues raised by the organization of the upcoming 2004 FIDE World Chess Championship to be held in Libya and Malta, from 18 June until 13 July 2004.

		The ACP Board considers that, in view of FIDE's recent cancellation of the Kasparov-Ponomariov match and the 2002 FIDE Rapid Grand Prix, the participants need real guarantees from FIDE in regard to the upcoming World Championship, which in fact is a standard procedure in all professional sports.
		Instead of simply accepting FIDE's request to sign a document which we do not consider to be a fair contract towards the players, you now have an alternative at your disposal.

		Right now, FIDE still remains unremitting and uncompromising under Kirsan and that is why Kasparov retired since he realized long ago that he alone could not battle and alter the organization and the faults that he committed in the past could not be undone.
