There were two world chess champions until the reunification match, which was held between Veselin Topalov and Vladimir Kramnik in late 2006.
The World Chess Federation (Fédération Internationale des Échecs, known as FIDE), was founded in Paris on the 20th day of July 1924. It is responsible for organizing the world chess championships. Its members are chess federations.
