Another day of media battles begins, as two ceremonies coincide (photo by Paul Truong)
The closing ceremony of the
FIDE World Chess Championship
in Chennai is going to start at 12:00 local time today. It will be held
at the Ball Room of Hotel Hyatt Regency, with the presence of the Chief
Minister of Tamilnadu Ms. J Jayalalithaa and the FIDE President Mr
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. The ceremony will mark the end of the possibly the
most viewed World Chess Championship in history (expect fascinating
statistics) by distributing a hefty prize fund of 2,55 million USD.
The closing ceremony will be with live video and commentary and you can
follow it at the official website.
The same day the Anand – Carlsen World Championship match comes
officially to an end, another World Championship battle starts. Today at
15:00 local time (14:00 CET) the
World Chess Team Championship (see
team compositions here) will be inaugurated.
