Abstract
Iceland may be one of the cooler countries on this planet, but Zappa was red-hot August 13–21, 2005 when it totally dominated the field at the 13th WCCC played at Reykjavik University. And if the Bobby Fischer versus Boris Spassky world championship match in 1972 was the most famous chess match in Iceland’s history, this competition will go down as the strongest tournament ever played on its soil, or better, its rocks. Fischer is certainly the most famous chess player to compete in Iceland; Zappa may be the strongest player ever to compete there.
