Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chess Meeting 2011

The Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting was until 2020 an elite chess tournament held every summer in Dortmund, Germany. Dortmund was an invite-only event, with the exception that one slot at Dortmund was awarded to the winner of the annual Aeroflot Open in Moscow. After an interruption due to the covid pandemic, the meeting was relaunched as the Sparkassen Chess Trophy International Dortmund Chess Days.

The elite tournament was usually played in a round-robin or double round-robin format. However, it took the form of a series of heads-up matches in 2002 and 2004. The 2002 Dortmund event was also notable in that it served as the Candidates Tournament for the Classical World Chess Championship 2004. Péter Lékó won, defeating Veselin Topalov in the finals.

A flagship event of the newer incarnation is the No Castling Masters (see No Castling Chess). It is accompanied by large open events and invite-only cup competitions.

The title sponsor is Sparkasse Dortmund,[1] the local public savings bank.
