DescriptionA chart showing the Official World Chess Champion title holders.png
English: This chart shows a complete and consistent view of the official world chess champions since 1886. The chart shows the transition from the period ungoverned to FIDE governed championships. The chart was updated when Magnus Carlsen won the World Chess Champion title on 22 November 2013. However the status of world champions pre-FIDE is not shown correctly. A new status of pre-FIDE is added.
