FIDE World Chess Championship

The FIDE World Chess Championship is the premier event that determines the world’s strongest chess player. Organized by the International Chess Federation (FIDE), it features a series of matches or a tournament involving top-ranked players. The reigning champion defends their title against a challenger, who earns their opportunity through a series of qualifying events. The championship showcases strategic skill, endurance, and mental toughness, culminating in a match that often lasts several weeks. Winning the FIDE World Championship grants the player the official title of world chess champion and often includes a significant prize.
