many prizes to twenty top winners
Chess Oscar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chess Oscar is an international award given to the best chess player every year. The winner is selected by a poll of chess experts across the world, including Grandmasters. The award comprises a bronze statuette titled The Fascinated Wanderer. The award had its genesis in 1967 with journalists accredited at chess events voting for the best grandmaster.
The awards were given away uninterrupted until the year 1988. The award resumed in 1995. Since then, it has been coordinated by the Russian chess magazine.
The Chess Oscar has a lot of value in the chess fraternity as it is viewed as a sort of peer recognition.
