Die Schach-Weltmeisterschaft 2024 wird im Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) vom 23. November bis 15. Dezember ausgetragen. Das RWS ist ein großes integriertes Resort auf der Insel Sentosa in Singapur. Es ist eines der führenden Tourismusziele in Singapur und bietet eine Vielzahl von Attraktionen, darunter ein Universal Studios Themenpark, ein Aquarium, luxuriöse Hotels, Restaurants und ein Casino. Resorts World Sentosa ist bekannt für seine hochmodernen Einrichtungen und seine Rolle als Gastgeber für internationale Veranstaltungen und Konferenzen.
Neben dem Hauptmatch wird die Singapore Chess Federation (SCF) weitere bedeutende Veranstaltungen organisieren, darunter das Singapore International Open, ein hochrangiges Turnier, das parallel zur Weltmeisterschaft stattfindet. In diesem Turnier werden internationale Spieler, darunter auch der junge singapurische Großmeister Siddharth Jagadeesh, teilnehmen. Jagadeesh zeigte sich begeistert: „Es ist erstaunlich, dass ich nicht nur das Weltmeisterschaftsmatch aus nächster Nähe erleben, sondern auch an einem starken internationalen Turnier in meinem eigenen Land teilnehmen kann.“
Die SCF plant zudem zahlreiche Side-Events wie Meisterklassen, Ausstellungsspiele und Meet-and-Greet-Sessions mit internationalen Großmeistern. Es besteht sogar die Hoffnung, ehemalige Schachweltmeister für diese Events zu gewinnen. Der CEO der SCF, Kevin Goh, betonte: „Wir planen definitiv, diese Art von Veranstaltungen zu organisieren. Es wird auch andere Turniere geben, wie die Singapore National Age Group Chess Championships, das prestigeträchtigste Altersgruppenturnier, das wir haben.“
Singapur konnte sich im Juli 2024 als Austragungsort der Schach-WM durchsetzen, nachdem es sich gegen Bewerbungen aus Neu-Delhi und Chennai durchgesetzt hatte. Dies ist erst das zweite Mal in der 138-jährigen Geschichte der Schachweltmeisterschaft, dass das Turnier in Südostasien ausgetragen wird. Lee Shi Ruh, Präsidentin von RWS, hob hervor, dass die Kombination aus dem prestigeträchtigen Schachturnier und den modernen Annehmlichkeiten von RWS ein einzigartiges Erlebnis für Besucher schaffen werde. Die Tickets für das Event sollen bald erhältlich sein.

Singapore, August 15, 2024 - The Singapore Chess Federation (SCF) is thrilled to announce that the FIDE World Chess Championship 2024 match will take place in Singapore for the first time at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) from November 23 to December 15, 2024. This iconic event will be the first in 138 years to feature two contestants from Asia between the reigning World Champion, China’s Ding Liren and challenger Dommaraju Gukesh from India competing for the title. RWS, globally renowned for its luxurious facilities and world-class hospitality, will provide the perfect backdrop for this high-stakes match.
Singapore’s first integrated resort offers a distinctive blend of diverse leisure and entertainment options, where players, officials, and fans alike can look forward to having a memorable experience. “We are privileged to partner RWS in hosting the Championship, and we look forward to witnessing the intricacies of this match unfold against the backdrop of an exceptional integrated resort,” said Mr Kevin Goh, SCF CEO and Chair of the Local Organising Committee. “This partnership preserves the prestige of the FIDE World Chess Championship while introducing an element of modernity and excitement - visitors can enjoy the luxury of having many attractions a stone’s throw away from the match venue to complement the existing suite of ancillary chess events.”
Ms Lee Shi Ruh, RWS President, said: “Chess is a strategic and intellectual game that has been enjoyed for centuries and played by millions around the world. RWS is excited to welcome the FIDE World Chess Championship 2024 match and its fans from across the globe as a silver sponsor. RWS is home to a variety of world-class events that cater to a different passion - just as the game of chess is renowned for its depth and ingenuity, RWS presents a diverse range of offerings with something for everyone. Our collaboration with the SCF captures the very essence of RWS as a top-notch MICE destination for lifestyle and entertainment, and also further presents Singapore’s overall attractive appeal as a premier global hub for international sports and cultural events.”
Looking ahead, visitors to RWS can also anticipate exciting blockbuster events as well as new developments, including all-new attractions, hotels, retail and dining, significantly elevating its appeal as a top lifestyle resort. Speaking about the partnership, Goh said: “We are looking for more like-minded enterprises to partner us in delivering a world-class event and showcasing the many benefits of chess. Chess is an intellectual sport that involves strategic thinking, discipline and resilience. These are values that many organisations would be aligned with.”
In conjunction with the match, there will be a top-level open tournament held within minutes of the playing hall of the match. Organised by the SCF, the Singapore International Open will feature competitors from all over the world - including our very own from Singapore. “It’s amazing that I will not only be able to witness the World Championship match up close but also compete in a strong international tournament in my own country,” said local grandmaster Siddharth Jagadeesh (pictured above), who at 17 is Singapore’s youngest ever grandmaster. Tickets for the FIDE World Chess Championship Match will go on sale soon. There will also be extensive live coverage and commentary across multiple platforms, ensuring that the excitement reaches a global audience.
