The World Blitz Chess Championship 2021 is a chess tournament held to determine the world champion in chess played under rapid time controls. Since 2012, FIDE has held the World Rapid and Blitz Championships at a joint tournament. Originally planned to be held in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, new coronavirus restrictions introduced by the Kazakh government prompted FIDE to change the location of the tournament[1] to Warsaw, Poland[2].

The event took place at the Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw between 29-30 December 2021[3], using a Swiss-system with 21 rounds for the open tournament and 17 rounds for the women's tournament. Players eligible to participate must either be rated at least 2550 Elo in a FIDE rating list during 2021, or be a reigning national champion[4]. Time controls for the tournament are 3+2, meaning each player initially starts with 3 minutes and gains 2 seconds increment with each move.

Participants

[edit]

179 players took part in the open tournament[5], and 105 in the women's tournament[6].
