| Summary: | The game of chess has a long and rich history. In the last century it has been closely connected to the world chess federation FIDE1. This paper analyses all of the rated chess games published on the FIDE website from January 2008 to September 2010 with network analytic methods. We discuss some players and game properties, above all the portion of games played between the world’s best chess players and the frequency of games among
