The World Championship Interregnum
The timeline I created to document The Botvinnik - Keres Rivalry reminded me of a related timeline I created a few years ago to document the 'Interregnum and the first FIDE World Championship cycle' in the thread FIDE Zonals on the About Chess forum.

- 1946-03 Death of Alekhine
- 1946-07 FIDE Congress, Winterthur, Switzerland
