ACTIVE Chess

The first official (FIDE) Active Chess (30 minutes per game) tournament was held in Gijon, Spain in 1988 and won by Anatoly Karpov and Valdimir Tukmakov. The same year, Karpov won the first World Active Championship beating Viktor Gavrikov in final.

In 1989 FIDE replaced the name Active Chess with Rapid Chess (see Rapid Chess).
