The '''Reggio Emilia chess tournament''' was an annual [[chess]] tournament held in [[Reggio Emilia]], Italy. In Italian the tournament is called ''Torneo di Capodanno'' (New Year's tournament), as it used to start just after [[Christmas]] and end on the day of [[Epiphany (holiday)|Epiphany]] (6 January). It was established as an annual event in 1958 by grandmaster [[Enrico Paoli]].
In 1982/83 the tournament attracted a new sponsor and by the 1990s the tournament had gained significant international reputation, climaxing in the 1991/1992 edition. This was the first [[Category (chess tournament)|Category 18]] tournament ever played; it was won by the 22-year-old [[Viswanathan Anand]] ahead of [[Garry Kasparov]], [[Anatoly Karpov]] and [[Vassily Ivanchuk]].<ref>[http://www.ippogrifoscacchi.it/tdc_storia/data/1991-92.htm Cross table for Category 18 1991-92 tournament]</ref>

It was Italy's oldest and most renowned chess tournament. The tournament was usually played as a 10 to 16 player [[round-robin tournament]]. The announced 55th edition had to be canceled due to economic reasons.
