Begun in 1968, there was no Oscar from 1989 to 1994 until Roshal revived it in 1995. Gary Kasparov has won the most number of times (11) followed by Anatoly Karpov (9), Viswanathan Anand (3), Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky (2 each), Vladimir Kramnik and Viktor Korchnoi, one each.
This project shall also assist the CHIPS Commission in creating a database of chess journalists. |
