The World Rapid Chess Championship 2019 (known as the King Salman World Rapid & Blitz Championship for sponsorship reasons) was a chess tournament held to determine the world champion in chess played under rapid time controls. Since 2012, FIDE has held the World Rapid and Blitz Championships at a joint tournament.
The event took place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia between 26 and 28 December 2019,[1] using a Swiss-system with 15 rounds for the open tournament and 12 rounds for the women's tournament. Players eligible to participate must either be rated at least 2550 Elo in a FIDE rating list during 2019, or be a reigning national champion.[2] Time controls for the tournament are 15+10, meaning each player initially starts with 15 minutes and gains 10 seconds increment with each move.
