Results of international competition of the "64-Chess Review" magazine.
The tradition of award "Oscar" best grandmaster of the world was
renewed three years ego under the initiative Alexander Roshal,
editor-in-chief of the "64-Chess Review" magazine.
The representatives a mass media, specialized editions, independent
chess journalists and organizers vote to ten best in a past year.
