Possible discrepancy

[edit]

TWIC 231 - 12th April 1999 has the 1999 championship as the 54th and says it was halted due to NATO bombing. Our page has the championship as the 59th. This needs to be looked into. Quale 21:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Going further

[edit]

I think I make a progress thanks to your idea with separate tables. I need to check some details and fill empty space in table for women champions. Ikaria 23:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2003-2004 were played

[edit]

There was a championship played in 2003 and 2004 according to [1]. But most of that table does not correspond to what we have. Does somebody know what is going on? Voorlandt 09:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On Serbia and Montenegro

[edit]

It seems like there was a Serbian championships long before the countries split up, same goes for Montenegro. This can be compared with Slovenia which had a Slovenian Chess Championship before it became independent. I suggest this article should only cover championships to 2002, and then we should have two articles, one for Serbia and one for Montenegro. Some random data for someone who wants to start on these articles:

  • 29th Serbian ch in 1998 (chessbase db), see also 2003, 2007
  • 56th Montenegro ch in 2004, see for instance 2004, 2005, 2007

  • It's true that there were separate internal championships of all republics during all the time (since II W war, also possible before), but that was qualifications for one and only national championship or in some cases, amateur championships. So, winners of, let's say internal Serbian championships at 2003 and 2004 are not on the same level as national champions, as example at 2002 or 2005. It's not my opinion, this is officially recognized fact. Sources that were presented about these years are inappropriate if we are talking about national championship. There was no national championship in years 2003 and 2004, and Chess federation of Yugoslavia/Serbia&Montenegro was under great criticism because of that.

I am not sure about the idea for separate pages; I see both, pro and contra. If we can go for it, it should start from Serbian championship in 2007. or Yugoslavian since 1992. There is no reason to start with Serbia and Montenegro because it is absolutely the same like Yugoslavia since 1992. (only the name is different, Yugoslavia since that time includes only Serbia and Montenegro). On the other hand, locally, if we say that, as example, GM Damljanovic from Belgrade won Serbian championship title, we will never say like it happen for the first time. He will be, let's say national champion for fourth time. The fact is that he was all the time in the same country, but name and borders were under changes. As you know, even present situation is under possibility of changes. Ikaria 13:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just to make this clear. Internal championship was usually qualification for the national. All the players with higher rating or with special invitation or because of successful result on previous championship don't need to play qualifications. That's way; win of GM Perunovic on internal Serbian championship in 2003 is never the same like his win of national Serbian championship in 2007 or Serbia&Montenegro championship 2005. If we put this in same table/page like it happen on Slovenian Chess Championship it gives completely wrong impression. Simply, best Slovenian players usually didn't play Slovenian championship, they were directly qualified on national Yugoslavian championship (this covers period 1950-1991 before independence of Slovenia).Ikaria 14:13, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot for clarifying this. I rearranged the Slovenian Chess Championship as you suggested, including an expanded comment on the championships before 1991. I still believe it would be better to have a page on the Serbian championship and one the Montenegro championship; but then in separate tables and proper context as you suggest. Voorlandt 21:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think our intent wasn't to create a page for Serbia & Montenegro, but rather two pages, one for Serbia and one for Montenegro. Union of Serbia & Montenegro can stay on this page (Yugoslavia). As an aside, it actually isn't uncommon for the best players to skip the national championship for various reasons. (For one of many examples, see Hungarian Chess Championship.) We still include the championships and results, but it is good to explain that the championship did not include all the best players and why (if we have a good source explaining it). Many of our pages still need improvement in this area, for instance there's no explanation of when and why Bobby Fischer quit playing the U.S. Chess Championship in that article, although this has been widely reported. (We'll fix that page up sometime.) Thanks for your comments and help with this. Quale 17:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As I mantioned at one place, I can also see positive aspect of this idea. If we make separate Serbian and Montenegro Chess Championship there only need to be note as it is on Slovenian Chess Championship. Of course it will be hard task to find all info about previous years but I will try to be helpful, too. Thanks for your discussion. Ikaria 00:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2001 edition

[edit]

From TWIC: "The Yugoslav chess championships took place in the Hotel "Plaza" Herceg Novi 23rd March - 8th April 2001. These were the 56th Men's Championships and 54th Women's event. In the men's event there was a four way tie between Branko Damljanovic, Aleksandar Kovacevic, Nikola Ostojic and Dejan Pikula 9/15 for first place, they will play off at the end of the month." We currently have these four winners, but does somebody know who is the champion after playoff? Voorlandt 14:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Match never happened on the end. So, we really have four winners.Ikaria 00:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
