To win the World Chess Championship Fund the next player will need to obtain a credit score of 7.5 points and higher. If it turns out that by the end the standing remains 4 to 4 then the decision will be made on the next day\u2019s games if the tiebreaks match still exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a game, the second player will be provided with 120 minutes to be utilized on the chessboard on the first forty moves. After reaching the 41st move, they stop getting additional moves and receive thirty more minutes for the rest of the game. The move 41 starts with an additional thirty seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov, Hikaru Nakamura, Anish Giri and many such Grandmasters have already endorsed Gukesh to have the highest chance of winning the event. Ding Liren himself has also revealed that he is quite tense about how the World Chess Championship fight will turn out to be bad for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Gukesh is not confused and has shown great assertiveness to outsmart his opponents and has definitely taken illusions to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s pretty clear who I am facing. Ding has been one of the best players in the world for over a decade. My job is pretty clear: go to every game as the best version of myself and play the best moves in position. Play good chess, play in the right spirit. If I am doing the right things then no matter what version sits in front of me \u2014 his recent form dip or whether he\u2019s at his best doesn\u2019t really matter to me. If I am doing the right things, I will have all the chances in the world,\u201d Gukesh said at the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FIDE World Chess Championship Full Schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/\">Holaquiz<\/a> has made the full schedule for the championship, which you can easily follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Event<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25 November<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>26 November<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>27 November<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>28 November<\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><td>Free Day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>29 November<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>30 November<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2 December<\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><td>Free Day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6 December<\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><td>Free Day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 11<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10 December<\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><td>Free Day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 13<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Round 14<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>13 December<\/td><td>14:30<\/td><td>Tie-break (if needed)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>14 December<\/td><td>TBD<\/td><td>Closing Ceremony<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15 December<\/td><td>N\/A<\/td><td>Departures<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Prize Money of the World Chess Championship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image3-17-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"World Chess Championship 2024 Prize money\" class=\"wp-image-1907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image3-17-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image3-17-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image3-17-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image3-17-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/myfriendshipquiz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image3-17.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credits: Canva<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The prize pool for the World Chess Championship match is $2.5 Million.
