Talk:World Blitz Chess Championship

found this Tournament in Herceg Novi Unofficial Speed Chess Championship in Herceg Novi 213.149.51.126 (talk) 14:38, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

think we can safely say that the 2020 championship was canceled

it is past the middle of august and there is no time to host 2 championships in rapid and blitz in 4 months. there is also no information on fide`s website regarding rapid and blitz, only classic chess. there is no indication at all when or if rapid and blitz will be held again. 84.212.107.130 (talk) 22:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the tournament in Nur-Sultan, initially planned for late December 2021, has been postponed today, because of a 7-day quarantine period enforced by the Kazakh government (so announced during the FIDE live stream for game 10 of the WCC).

On official FIDE site: FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships will not be held in Kazakhstan in December --Jonah ☎ 15:48, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jonah. I'll add it to the article. Renerpho (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just to bring closure to this discussion (fingers crossed): The tournament will be held in Warsaw, Poland, starting December 25th.[1] Renerpho (talk) 16:56, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championships (since 2012)

This section appears to be duplicated in World Rapid Chess Championship. The sections need to be merged somehow. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:32, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I think we should merge the World Rapid Chess Championship and World Blitz Chess Championship pages into World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championship which is more consistent with the modern FIDE branding and format of the event. I would suggest that a new page is created under that name and that the current pages redirect there. I have done a quick mockup. I would be grateful for comment from more experienced users.

Brussels 1987?

The S.W.I.F.T. world blitz championship, Brussels 1987 is not mentioned yet. Are there reasons, or has it just been overlooked until now? --KnightMove (talk) 15:28, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
