4 Short history: Each year since 2000, the European Chess Union has organized a European Individual Chess Championship with the goal of determining open and women's champions for Europe. While in practice, the open section is often referred to as the "men's" tournament, women are certainly welcome to participate, and some - notably Judit Polgar - have been quite successful, finishing as high as third place, winning the bronze medal. The European Championships have, on almost all occasions, been held as Swiss system tournaments. These tournaments have not only been used to give out awards to the top European players, but also to qualify players for various later stages of the World Championship. European Open Championship The first official European Chess Championship was held in Saint-Vincent, Italy in the year The tournament drew 120 players for 11 rounds of Swiss system play, and was ultimately won by Russia's Pavel Tregubov. In the years since then, the tournament has expanded. For a few years, play was increased to 13 rounds; however, since 2006, each tournament has once again been an 11-round Swiss. The tournament field now regularly tops 300 players, with the all-time high coming in 2010, when 408 players participated. Interestingly, no player has yet won two European Championships, though some players have had success at multiple events. For instance, Vassily Ivanchuk won the tournament in 2004, and then finished second in 2006, while Levon Aronian won back-to-back bronze medals in 2004 and The complete list of European Open Champions are as follows: 2000: Pavel Tregubov (Russia), 2001: Emil Sutovsky (Israel), 2002: Bartlomiej Macieja (Poland), 2003: Zurab Azmaiparashvili (Georgia), 2004: Vassily Ivanchuk (Ukraine), 2005: Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu (Romania), 2006: Zdenko Kozul (Croatia), 2007: Vladislav Tkachiev (France), 2008: Sergei Tiviakov (Netherlands), 2009: Evgeny Tomashevsky (Russia), 2010: Ian Nepomniachtchi (Russia), 2011: Vladimir Potkin (Russia), 2012: Dmitry Jakovenko (Russia), 2013: Alexander Moiseenko (Ukraine) Ecuonline.net Page 4
