The 2024 FIDE WORLD RAPID & BLITZ CHAMPIONSHIP!

Chess is a battle of the minds, where every move is a calculated risk, and every second could shift the balance between triumph and defeat. This year, the 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championship will take place on Wall Street, the heart of the financial world, where every day the stakes are the same – strategy and calculated risk award the champions. This year’s event will see the two worlds merging for an epic championship challenge.
