The World Amateur Chess Championship was a tournament organized by the World Chess Federation, FIDE. FIDE intended to promote amateur chess play by holding championship tournaments linked to the Olympic Games, but only two events were held. The first championship was held the year that FIDE was founded, at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. This is considered the unofficial first Chess Olympiad, and is the only Olympiad that was an individual event. The second championship was held at the 1928 Summer Olympics in The Hague, in conjunction with the 2nd Chess Olympiad. Chess has never been an official part of the Olympic Games, and since the chess community does not make any essential distinction between amateur and professional〔a chess amateur is a player who does not earn a living through chess. Chess amateurs are not restricted in any way: they can win prizes, accept appearance fees, and earn any chess title, including World Champion. In 1935 Max Euwe became the last amateur to win the World Championship. 〕 the championship was discontinued after 1928. However, in recent years (1990s), FIDE has revamped it with an amateur being defined as a player with a FIDE rating below 2000 and not having attained a rating of more than 2000 in the past 2 years. Also, there is another "World Amateur Chess Championship" supposed to be held by the Amateur Chess Organisation with it being held in Rhodes in 2014. However, this is not recognised by FIDE.〔http://www.fide.com/component/content/article/1-fide-news/7528-world-amateur-championship.html WORLD AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP〕 ==Winners== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Amateur Chess Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
