The Chess Olympiad is a chess event which has been officially organised by FIDE since 1927 and takes place every second year. Prior to World War II the event was occasionally held annually. There was also an "unofficial" series of Chess Olympiads which ended in 1976. Chess is not included as one of the recognised Olympic sports, however FIDE is now a member of the International Olympic Committee, adhering to its rules, which means it may become an Olympic event some day in the future. The trophy for the w ...

Professional boxing in the 1920s was basically a sport that was practiced only in the United States, although several world champions went abroad for exhibition fights. Many fights during this era, some 20 years away or so from the television era, were social events with many thousands in attendance, both men and women. World Heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey was one of the most important fighters of this era. He won the title in 1919, keeping it until 1926. He lost the title to Gene Tunney in 1926, but many of his fights were ...

In literature and film, a flashback (also called analepsis) takes the narrative back in time from the point the story has reached, to recount events that happened before and give the "back-story." Analepsis allows a narrative's discourse to re-order the story by "flashing back" to an earlier point in the story. In the opposite direction, a flashforward or prolepsis reveals events that will occur in the future. The classic example of prolepsis is prophecy, as when Oedipus is told that he will sleep with his ...

The problems and paradoxes of the classical interpretation of probability motivated the development of the relative frequency concept of probability. Most of the mathematics commonly used to make statistical estimates or tests are developed by statisticians who use this concept exclusively. They are usually called frequentists, and their position is called frequentism. A statistician who uses traditional methods of inference is therefore referred to as a frequentist statistician. Frequentism is, by far, the most commonly held view among ...

The plot turns on a chase between two locomotives and a railroad worker, played by Keaton, initially on a handcart and later on another locomotive. Although played for laughs in the film, many of the events actually occurred in a chase through Georgia and Tennessee between trains pulled by locomotives named General and Texas (see Great Locomotive Chase for more details on the actual event). The event was also the subject of the film The Great Locomotive Chase. Keaton performs lots of dangerous physical stunts on and around the moving train, which include jumping from the engine to a boxcar, sitt ...

The most important event in professional snooker is the Embassy World Championship, held annually since 1927 (except between 1958 and 1963). The tournament has been held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield (England) since 1977. However, due to the fact that Tobacco companies are no longer allowed to sponsor sporting events after 2005, the World Snooker Championship will have another sponsorship deal.

The first rallies by the NSDAP took place 1923 in Munich and 1926 in Weimar. From 1927 on, they ran exclusively in Nuremberg. Nuremberg was selected for pragmatic reasons: It was situated in the center of the German Reich and the local Luitpoldhain was well suited as a venue. In addition, the NSDAP was able to rely on the well organized local strand of the party in Franconia, then lead by Gauleiter Julius Streicher. The Nuremberg police were sympathetic to the event. Later, the location was justified by putting it into the tradition of the < ...
