The golden phase of Indian chess is going on. The country has established themselves as a global chess superpower, from defeating D. Gukesh to the male and female teams of India in the chess Olympiad, from defeating the world champion Magnus Carlson, and in the Chess Olympiad. The recent success is 19 -year -old Divya Deshmukh. When in the final among Indian players, defeated veteran Koneru Hampi and won the FIDE Women’s World Cup.
The first question is that chess is not a physical game, yet why do women and men play separately? Although chess is a mental game, women have been less professionally than men. For this reason, tournaments and titles for women have been established only to promote women’s participation, provide more opportunities for women to compete for title and prize money and to bridge the difference of number. It is not about physical differences, but about promoting development and representation in sports for women. Men are usually allowed to compete in women’s tournaments, but it is rare. In contrast, women are allowed to compete in ‘open’.
World Champion vs World Cup, what difference?
The undisputed is the current champion of the world champion chess. To become a world champion, a player will have to win a series of highly competitive matches to reach the final match against the current champion. This title is with only one person at a time and is a symbol of being the best player in the world. FIDE (International Chess Federation) World Cup is a major knockout tournament. The players compete in a series of head-to-head matches, in which the losing is out. However, winning the World Cup is a prestigious achievement and often makes players eligible for the World Championship. This does not automatically make them world champions.
Is playing with black pieces harmful?
In chess, the first trick always moves with white pieces. This gives white a small initial benefit. Because they can immediately start making pieces and control the flow of the game. On the other hand, black has to react to the first trick of white. However, it is small at the Grandmaster level and does not guarantee the victory of white. But white wins a little more than black. Consider it like starting a race a few seconds before your opponent.
How the players’ Aloe rating is decided
Each player starts with an initial rating, usually 1500 points. When two players play against each other, the winning player gets points from the losing player. The difference between the ratings of two players determines how many marks each player will get or lose. A high -rating player is more likely to win, so he gets less marks on winning and there is a possibility of losing more points on losing. If a player defeats a player with more ratings, he gets more marks. It is a dynamic system that reflects the current capacity of the player.
