	World Chess Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vladimir Kramnik is considered by many to be World Champion (having defeated the last undisputed World Champion Garry Kasparov as well as drawing his challenger in 2004, Péter Lékó), but Veselin Topalov is the official FIDE World Champion, having won the FIDE World Chess Championship 2005.
		The World Champion is not necessarily the highest-rated player in the world: Garry Kasparov, Viswanathan Anand, Veselin Topalov, Peter Leko, and Vassily Ivanchuk are the five highest-ranked players on the July 2005 FIDE rating list, but none of them currently hold any championship title.
		The Women's World Championship was established by FIDE in 1927 as a single tournament held alongside the Chess Olympiad.

	Shortcuts: How to be a world champion - CNN.com
		World Championship when one committed soul will be able to claim to be the world's best at the school playground game -- proving that a lack of sporting prowess, natural aptitude or intelligence should not get in the way of becoming a world champion.
		The World Championships is now in its 5th year, with 2005 champion Andrew Bergel, a lawyer from Toronto, defending his title against over 750 competitors, including the national champions of Norway, Australia and New Zealand.
		Sure making the world's longest line of dominos takes dedication and patience, but there's still something pathological about spending that much time on your own, creating a record that no one in their right mind would want to beat.

	Kasparov: The World's Chess Champion, Ten Years and Counting? by Anne Kressler
		To take the world title away from Anatoly Karpov, who himself had been the champion for ten years, involved playing 120 championship games in four matches.
		When Garry was 24 (in 1987), he predicted that he might be able to hold on to the world championship until he was 30, giving him "six more years at the top".
		Because of his character, it's likely that when the time comes that he no longer is number one, he will still be extremely active in strengthening world interest in chess, getting involved with politics, maybe business, or even in the literary world.

	The Concept of the World Champion - Chess History - World Chess Network (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		One claim often heard is that before Steinitz and Zukertort each began to call himself the world chess champion at about the time of Paul Morphy’s death in 1884, the concept of a world chess champion did not exist.
		And since we are here accepting Steinitz as world champion from 1866, we would logically have to accept Zukertort as co-champion from 1883 to 1886, especially since Steinitz claimed no pride of place over his opponent in their negotiations.
		The conventional wisdom is that Zukertort was never world champion and that Steinitz became the first world champion in 1886.
