Tillu Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 (edited) World Chess Championship 2024: India’s D Gukesh will look to script history when he takes on world champion Ding Liren in the World Chess Championship starting later this month. Gukesh is already a history-maker: he is the youngest winner of the ultra-competitive Candidates tournament at the age of 17 which earned him a shot at the world championship crown. Now, at the age of 18 he could be the youngest ever world champion in history. The clash will see two Asians battle it out for the crown for the first time ever. What is the schedule of the World Chess Championship The World Chess Championship match takes place over three weeks, with 14 match days and 4 rest days planned. The opening ceremony for the World Chess Championship will be held on November 23. Here’s the full schedule of the World Championship between Gukesh and Ding Liren: November 25 (Monday): Game 1 November 26 (Tuesday): Game 2 November 27 (Wednesday): Game 3 November 28: Rest Day November 29 (Friday): Game 4 November 30 (Saturday): Game 5 December 1 (Sunday): Game 6 December 2 (Monday): Rest Day December 3 (Tuesday): Game 7 December 4 (Wednesday): Game 8 December 5 (Thursday): Game 9 December 6 (Friday): Rest Day December 7 (Saturday): Game 10 December 8 (Sunday): Game 11 December 9 (Monday): Game 12 December 10 (Tuesday): Rest Day December 11 (Wednesday): Game 13 December 12 (Wednesday): Game 14 December 13 (Thursday): Tie-breaks (IF needed) All games start at 17:00 local time (2:30 pm IST). What is the format of the World Chess Championship The first player between Gukesh and Ding Liren to reach 7.5 points will be the winner of the 2024 World Chess Championship. But in the case of both players being tied on points after 14 games, tiebreaks will be played the next day to decide the winner. What is the time control of the World Chess Championship As mentioned above, the World Championship match will consist of 14 classical games. Each game will follow the time control of 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment starting from move 41. What is the prize money of the World Chess Championship The total prize fund for the World Championship match is $2.5 million. FIDE and the organisers have announced that there will be specific distribution of these funds based on game outcomes. Each player will receive $2,00,000 (approximately Rs 1.68 crore) for each game they win. The remaining prize money will be split equally between the players. If the winner is decided on a tie-break, the prize money will be divided as follows: the winner receives $13,00,000 (approximately Rs 10.9 crore), and the runner-up receives $12,00,000 (approximately Rs 10.1 crore). What is the venue of the World Chess Championship The 2024 FIDE World Championship Match will take place in Singapore’s luxurious Resorts World Sentosa, a premier resort known for its world-class facilities and stunning location.

Its his opinion. #1 is not playing. He said the same thing before the Nepo Ding match. This time it is Ding he is mocking (kind of). Ding isn't even in the top 20 FIDE ranks. Gukesh beat everything thrown at him in the candidates. Tillu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, our boy may be world number 5, but he is also just 18. And has 3 all time great performances at such a young age, twice in Olympiad and once in candidates. Garry takes great pride in being the youngest world champion, hence this bitterness. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 When it comes to current form, gap between Carlsen and chasing pack has been closer than any time in last 10 years. Talking only about classical here. In a candidates style tournament with top 10 playing, don't think he will have an easy time against our youngsters, Abdusattarov, Firouzja, Keymer etc. Protecting his classical rating by avoiding it so much. Most tournaments have rapid/blitz or armagedddon nonsense which greatly favor Carlsen, we all saw how Pragg treated him in Norway in the classical portion. More our youngsters shine in classical, more the goras will gravitate towards shorter time formats......opposite of things in Vishy's peak/prime era. Just like hockey. India against the world.

Gollum Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 (edited) Karpov was crowned world champion because of a walkover, Fischer disappeared after Reyjavik. Then his 2 world titles against Korchnoi where KGB pulled out all dirty tricks. No problem for the goras. Kasparov broke away from FIDE and played against Short, no problem for goras. Kasparov handpicking Kramnik in 2000 who had not even qualified...Shirov had thrashed him in the qualification match, sidelined. Kramnik vs Leko 2004 bore, no problem. But all the venom against Vishy/Gelfand in 2012 or here where an Indian and Chinese will play for the title. They aren't even pretending to hide their racism. Not their fault that Carlsen found these events too draining. Gukesh's candidates win was much more convincing than Carlsen's 2013 win in London.

coffee_rules Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 (edited) Moving it to Cricket Talk would be more visible, just like the olympics. Not many visit Chit Chat Edited November 20 by coffee_rules randomGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickydev Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 First few games will be important for Gukesh to keep the nerves in check. He clearly has the upper hand, just has to handle the pressures of a match situation. Remember Carlsen saying it took him a few games into his first match with Anand before he really went for it.

Cricketics Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 (edited) Gukesh is the favorite here. Ding has been poor of late. Also those who followed olympiad will know he did not come out in the oympiad this time against India. Escaped that time. China had no reason to rest him. Hopefully Gukesh can get this title.

He talks the most gibberish you will ever hear. Edited November 22 by Cricketics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 If both players play to their strengths, then Gukesh should win. He is in better form than Ding and he has had some great results recently. Ding is outside top 20. It is shameful that he is still World Champion. He is probably the most undeserving World Champion ever since he didn't even win the candidates tournament and wasn't even supposed to play a World Championship. Anyway, Ding cannot be taken lightly. I think he is deliberately not playing much and preparing exclusively for this match. He will definitely outprepare Gukesh and he is very good at playing well when it matters the most. He beat Nepo in a tight match last time. If Gukesh hasn't done his homework well, then Ding is going to win. It will be unfortunate, but I hope Gukesh is preparing well. This is his golden chance and a great chance for India to wrest the title again. Nothing would be more satisfying than beating a Chinese.

Tillu Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 The draw happened today and Gukesh will be playing with White pieces in the first round. Are we going have a Photoshoot with Gukesh and Ding like they did with Magnus and Fabi for the Freestyle chess happening in Singapore?
