I thought it would be a good idea to have a record of the FICGS world chess championship results somewhere in an easily digested form. So I have compiled them and published them on a blog.

I have done this mainly for people who are already members here but also wrote an introduction to FICGS for those who may not be familiar with it. Who knows, it might leads to some new members :)

You can see the article here

The link to the championship results is at the bottom. I hope someone finds it interesting. I have beeen quite careful in compiling it but I expect there may be a few small errors in it. Please let me know if there are and I will make the necessary corrections.

That was from chrome. From firefox I get same message and the header says I do not have permission to view the page.

Thanks. I put the wrong link in.

This should work OK

Hello Peter and thank you very much for this!

Just a question: where does the date 13/08/2013 comes from for cycle 8 (eg)?

Hi Thib

What I did was go into one of the 1st round group and look at the date the first game started. Prompted by your question I have checked and I can see that this is not quite right as some games started sooner - perhaps the date on the games is when the 1st move is played rather than when the game is created.

I will go through more 1st round games and make the date more accurate and update the document tomorrow (or perhaps you have an easier way or getting the dates?)

Oh ok, so it may not be the right date in all cases because of additional groups that started after the usual date, indeed. To avoid mistakes, all quarter finals in the knockout tournament started at the correct date.

Dates now corrected :)

By the way Thib, when will the 13th championship start?
