	World Chess Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Champion is not necessarily the highest rated player in the world: the current champion, Vladimir Kramnik is rated third in the world as per the current FIDE rating list.
		The first match proclaimed by the players as for the world championship was the match that Wilhelm Steinitz won against Johannes Zukertort in 1886.
		The latter match was to be held in Budapest, but funding collapsed; it was rescheduled as a fourteen game match held in Brissago, Switzerland from September 25 to October 18, 2004 and billed as the Classic World Chess Championship sponsored by the cigar company Dannemann.

		The World Champion is not necessarily the strongest player in the world--Garry Kasparov is the highest-ranked player on the April 2004 FIDE rating list, but currently holds no championship title.
		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.
		The Women's World Championship was established by FIDE in 1927 as a single tournament held alongside the Chess Olympiad.

		We are on a different list; the list of those who are banned from television and all main stream media because in Russia today technically there is no longer democracy but a police state where every element of public life is under the strict control of the government.
		I think that in the global chess board there is a clear lack of strategy from the leading democracies because after the end of the Cold War there was no new plan to address a new balance of forces.

		Had he still been playing (playing both chess and chess politics, that is), a reunification match could never have been staged, what with all his abortive flirtations with FIDE over matches with Ponomariov and Kasimjanov over the past few years, and his post-2000 bitterness and hostility towards Kramnik.
		The clause in the contract that excludes the loser from the next world championship event means he would have to sit on the sidelines for quite a long time, while Topalov plays Radjabov, and then eight players play a 'championship tournament' (putting those two words together really grates with me).
		One recalls the abortive Kasparov-Ponomariov match of a few years ago, when Pono's lack of an English-speaking representative put him at a distinct disadvantage compared to the slick English-language PR which Kasparov was able to bring to bear on the situation.
