The 2021 FIDE World Cup is a 206-player knockout taking place in Krasnaya Polyana, near Sochi, Russia from July 12 to August 6. The prize fund is almost $1.9m, with $110,000 for the winner, while the finalists also qualify for the 2022 Candidates Tournament. The top 50 players, who include world nos 1 and 2 Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, are seeded directly into Round 2.
Each match consists of two classical games where the players have 90 minutes for 40 moves, then 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment from move 1. If tied, a playoff will be held on the 3rd day. There are two 25+10 rapid games followed, if needed, by two 10+10 games, then two 5+3, and finally an Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4 but a draw counts as a win for Black. No draw offers are allowed until after move 30. Official website: worldcup.fide.com

Interesting thing is, we in India have this local version of chess where 4 exceptions are there- 1. No castling 2. King and opponents queen is on E file and similarly for black on D file 3. No two square jumping of pawns on first move (en passant is later addition to patch problems it creates) 4. Promotion based on which piece square originally belongs to (E and D for queen C F for bishop and so on)

[@asynthro5490]

5. King can make its first move like a knight if its not checked once

[@paulomartins1008]

A very interesting variation of Chess that has yet to be explored in my opinion where pieces you control can swap position with each other under certain rules, so long as one of the pieces can move to where the other one is under normal piece movement. It makes much sense if we consider medieval diplomacy as the quivalent of this swap or delgation of functions, however to keep in line with this concept we use hierarchy to determine which pieces can delegate onto which, the King, can swap with all, the Queen with all but the King, Rooks with all but the Royal family, clergy and nobles amongst themselves and with peasants and pawns can swap but that is pointless. Also, pawns can only be delegated up to the penultimate rank before promotion. Lastly, delgation counts as a move at all times and is illegal if the king is or will be in check. What do you think Agadmator?

The Only Move That Can Shook The Planet In A No Castling Chess Match Is.. Castling.

12:14 "Maybe if white isn't looking you can fork his queen like this" **moves Nf2 to c3** what kind of fork is that?! haha white would really have to not be looking.

Agadmator: A pawn cant be like a bishop Me: *promotes to bishop* I bet you feel dumb right now

[@Sathia_Remix]

13:20 explanation was as good as the move creating a white bishop pushing the black knight back to a wall and the white knight complementing a wall of defense against th black knight - - - it was a wow moment for me. of course the rook move much early on
