Fide

Though some have been claiming ownership of extraterrestrial land, to include the Moon, are these claims bona fide?

In 1950, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) created the lifetime title of International Grand Master (GMI), better known in the simplified form Grand Master (GM), which it awards to professional chess players, according to criteria of evaluating their performances in important competitions.

In December 2019, FIDE listed 14 Brazilian Grand Masters, three of whom are inactive.

ELO is the number calculated by the system adopted by FIDE to assess the skill of a professional chess player.

To play chess competitively according to the international rules of FIDE, a player must write down his moves.

The match for the 2020 FIDE World Championship, postponed because of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), will now be held from November 26th to December 16th, 2021, alongside the World Expo in Dubai, UAE, between current world champion Magnus Carlsen and GM Ian Nepomniachtchi, who won the 2020 Candidates Tournament.

Against a Petroff defense less skilfully played by Ian Nepomniachtchi, Magnus Carlsen took his second win in the FIDE-2021 World Championship match in Dubai. Now: Carlsen 5 - Nepo 3.

Ian Nepomniachtchi, with the white pieces, blundered a bishop in the ninth game of the match for the FIDE-2021 World Championships, in Dubai, suffering his third defeat. Now: Carlsen 6 - Nepo 3.

Game one in the FIDE World Championship 2023 between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren ended in a draw. Nepo with the white pieces went for Ruy Lopez, while Ding replied with Morphy’s Defense, and the game entered an equal minor pieces endgame.

Ian Nepomniachtchi, with the black pieces, won the second game of the match for the FIDE 2023 World Chess Championship, which is being held in Astana, Kazakhstan. He is therefore 1 point ahead of his opponent, Ding Liren (1.5 X 0.5).
