FIDE has unveiled the venue for the World Rapid and Blitz Championship, which will take place on December 26-31 in New York.
As reported by İdman.biz, it will take place on Wall Street – one of the main financial capitals of the world.
The Open will take place on Cipriani Wall Street, a historic architectural landmark located in the heart of New York’s financial district.
And the women’s tournament will be held right across the street at 48 Wall Street, another historic site that once housed the Bank of New York and the Museum of American Finance.
According to the schedule, the rapid competition will take place on December 26-28, then there will be a rest day, and on December 30-31 the participants will compete in blitz.
It should be noted that at least six Azerbaijani chess players who have guaranteed this right based on the results of the country’s rapid and blitz championship will play in New York. These are Eltaj Safarli, Vugar Rasulov, Magomed Muradly, Gulnar Mamedova, Zeinab Mamedyarova and Khanym Baladzhaeva.
