World Blitz Chess Championship 2024 was an over-the-board chess tournament held in New York City on 30 and 31 December 2024. It was the 2024 edition of the World Blitz Chess Championship and comprised an Open section and a Women's section.
After three drawn tiebreak games in the finals of the Open section, Magnus Carlsen proposed and Ian Nepomniachtchi agreed to share first place. FIDE controversially allowed the agreement and changed the rules of the tournament to permit them to do so.[1] After two drawn tiebreak games, the Women's section was won by Ju Wenjun.[2][3]
