Chess World Cup 2019

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2019 World Chess Cup (officially: FIDE World Cup 2019 ) took place from September 9 to October 4, 2019 in Khanty-Mansiysk , Russia . In the final, the Azerbaijani chess grandmaster Teymur Rəcəbov defeated the number 1 seeded Chinese Ding Liren 6: 4 in the tie- break , after a 2: 2 draw after the four classic games. In the game for third place, the Frenchman Maxime Vachier-Lagrave won against Ding's compatriot Yu Yangyi - also in the tie-break - with 4: 2.

In the tournament, which was played in the knockout system , 128 qualified players of the world's best took part. The two finalists Teymur Rəcəbov and Ding Liren qualified for the 2020 Candidates Tournament , in which the challenger for the 2020 World Chess Championship will be determined.

Competition mode

Seven rounds were played in the knockout system. This means that the winner of a pairing progressed to the next round, while the loser was eliminated. A mini match was held in each pairing. This consisted of two classic games on consecutive days with swapped colors and - if necessary - a tiebreak on the third day. The classic games had a time limit of 90 minutes for the first 40 moves + 30 minutes for the rest of the game, plus a time credit of 30 seconds per move (from the first move). If there was then a tie, a mini-match with two rapid chess games (25 minutes for the whole game + 10 seconds time credit per move) was played in the tie-break . If there was another tie, there was a second mini-match in blitz chess (10 min + 10 s per move) and, if necessary, a third mini-match (5 min + 3 s per move). If no decision was made after these three mini-matches, the winner was determined in an Armageddon game .

As an innovation compared to the three previously held World Cup tournaments, a match between the two losers in the semi-finals for third place took place parallel to the final competition. As in the final, four tournament games were played; in the event of a tie, a tie-break follows the same rules as in the previous rounds.
