1948 Saltsjobaden Interzonal[edit]

How were the players selected for this tournament? It seems the selection process was much less formalised than the later zonal/interzonal system. Was it even called an "interzonal" at the time? MaxBrowne (talk) 05:18, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I believe the Interzonal article (Interzonal tournament, Saltsjöbaden 1948) should be merged to this one because:

about 50% of the Interzonal article (the table) is in this article anyway.
this article is short enough, that the page or so of text from the Interzonal article won't make it too long
The articles disagree with each other because they don't use the same sources. Merging them will consolidate all the information in one place.
As far as I can see, no other world chess championship cycle article has a separate WP article on its Interzonal.
The interzonal article would become a redirect, so we can always retrieve it if needs be.

I agree wholeheartedly. dllu (talk) 09:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There was one objection one sort-of-objection at at Articles related to world championship cycles (April 2018 if it gets archived). I don't care either way so I've removed the merger template. Adpete (talk) 05:49, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
