]]> World Chess Championship 2024 and Judit Polgar’s prophecy https://www.chessdom.com/world-chess-championship-2024-and-judit-polgars-prophecy/ Sun, 25 Aug 2024 15:49:29 +0000 https://www.chessdom.com/?p=93037 There are only 3 months left to game 1 of the World Chess Championship 2024. Two indisputable talents, representing two superpowers and the two largest nations in the world are going to clash on the chess arena of the World Chess Championship 2024 in Singapore. Judit Polgar once said, “India and China are improving by leaps and bounds and it will be their chess players who will lead the revolution of the XXI century.” A prophecy, by the strongest female chess player of all times, which has come true with the Gukesh – Ding Liren match.

Replay: Ding Liren in World Champion 2023

Currently India and China are 2nd and 3rd in the FIDE ratings list by federation, boasting average rating of top players 2710 and 2684 ELO respectively. USA is first with 2725 ELO, but part of that is due to influx of foreign players like Dominguez, Aronian, Oparin, Antipov, Bruzon, Akopian, Corrales Jimenez, Akobian, Moradiabadi, etc. With the rate of rise of India’s young generation, USA’s first position is certainly in danger.

First things first, Gukesh and Ding Liren will fulfill Judit Polgar’s prophecy and India and China will have a direct clash for the World Chess Championship 2024 title. In just a few days major coverage of the World Championship and events around it starts on Chessdom.com, tune in for the latest developments around the match.
