In this paper, the author has criticized the current method for determining the World Chess Champion as it contains some biasedness with respect to time control. The study suggests a new method determine the winner of the World Chess Championship and other chess tournaments which are economic, less time consuming a bit complex but unbiased with respect to time control as compared to the current method. This new method reduces the cost of organizing World Chess Championship and other chess tournaments by implementing Total Quality Management in chess.
Primary data was derived by using a chess engine named Rybka which converts chess moves played by players into quantitative values. The data was analyzed to find a quantitative advantage for both the opponents playing chess by calculating the difference between the present value of the game and the previous value of the game derived from Rybka.
Results suggest that there is a procedure to determine the winner of World Chess Championship using a method which is unbiased related to time constraints.
The present study is the first to examine biasedness in determining the World Chess Champion and to suggest a new method removing defects of the present method.
