Zurich Chess Challenge

The Zurich Chess Challenge (ZCC) was one of the major recurring international chess tournaments, combining rapid chess with classical or blitz chess. Zurich was an exhibition type of tournament, similar at the former Amber chess tournament ambience, which explained some laxness and a comparatively brief duration of the whole event. It took place in Zurich, Switzerland. The main sponsor was Russian businessman Oleg Skvortsov.
