World Rapid and Blitz Championships 2021

The World Rapid and Blitz Championships took place in Warsaw Sun 26th Dec to Thu 30th Dec 2021. Leading players: Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Ian Nepomniachtchi, MVL, Fabiano Caruana, Anish Giri, Alexander Grischuk, Sergey Karjakin etc. This should be a highly competitive and enjoyable contest.

The event was last held in Moscow in 2019. 176 players are registered for the Rapid Open (down from 207 two years ago), 154 the blitz (206) the women's events have 103 for the rapid (122) and 85 for the blitz (122). Given the coronavirus crisis these figures have held up remarkably well. On the final day Hikaru Nakamura along with 3 or 4 other players had to self isolate due to the coronavirus, most of the players did complete the event. Nodirbek Abdusattorov beat Ian Nepomniachtchi in a tie-break to win the rapid event. Carlsen and Caruana had the same scores but worse tie-breaks and the regulations said these players wouldn't be involved in any tie-break for first. Carlsen bitterly complained about the regulations afterwards on Norwegian TV. In the blitz Carlsen started well but once he started losing he lost a lot - 6 games in total - a pretty unheard of number for him. MVL beat Jan-Krzysztof in a third blitz game to take the blitz title - their initial two games were drawn - after that it was first player to win. Alireza Firouzja tied on 15/21 with MVL and Duda but had a worse tie-break than these two players and missed out. We can only pray everyone gets home safe and sound now. After a rough start to the rapid event - really only the first 4 rounds - the broadcast worked out really well. I have produced nice versions of the rapid games based on corrected files from the official site - along with my own corrections and tidying up. I put a final version of the blitz games up too.
