The 2021 World Blitz Chess Championship is the 1st edition of the annual chess tournament held by FIDE to determine the world champion in chess played under blitz time controls. Since 2012, FIDE has held the World Rapid and Blitz Championships at a joint tournament. Originally, the tournament was to be held in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, however, due to coronavirus restrictions introduced by the Kazakh government prompted FIDE to change the location [1] to Warsaw, Poland.[2] The event took place at the Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw, from 29 to 30 December 2021,[3] using a Swiss-system with 21 rounds for the open tournament and 17 rounds for the women's tournament.
