Kirsan Ilyumzhinov:
 
Regarding the results of the FIDE Presidential Board in Al Ain, the UAE, the Commission for Modernization considers the issue about introduction of separate ratings for rapid chess and blitz. Within the frames of this project it is proposed to start calculating new ratings from January 1st, 2012.
Besides, it is supposed that there will be held the official World Rapid Chess Championship and World Blitz Chess Championship with subsequent tournament matches for the Absolute Champion title between winners thereof. Established for carrying out full-scale reforms, the Commission headed directly by FIDE President receives till September 1st all the offers in respect of bringing chess into accord with the tempo of life.

The Rules of Chess

Let us begin with the chess board.

It comprises 64 squares, of which 32 are light and 32 are dark. They are placed along horizontal lines – rows or ranks going from left to right. This is the first rank, second rank and so on up to the eighth.

And also along vertical lines (files). This is our file “a”, file “b”, file “c” etc. Up to file “h”.

History of Chess

It has long been noticed that the art of chess is more intensely developed in the regions and countries which are at the peak of their cultural progress.

This situation can be traced over the entire history of the game, which counts many centuries. But let us begin at the beginning.

The anchoring point is considered to be the appearance of the game of chaturanga (that literally means “four armies”) in India at the end of the 5th century.

Los (todavía con vida) favoritos por rating ganaron todos los desempates en la Ronda 4 de la Copa Mundial de la FIDE, dando a los cuartos de final que la mayoría de los fanáticos deseaban ver. Cuando cuatro de los cinco ganaron sus primeras partidas rápidas, pareciera que las cosas se estaban apresurando – pero entonces el caos puro siguió, es suficiente decir que solo tres juegos de 20 terminaron en tablas.
