FIDE World Junior Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships 2025
Про турнір

This championship is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world for young chess players. It is held in two separate disciplines - rapid (fast chess) and blitz, which gives players the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in different time control formats. These are dynamic competitions where emotions and speed of thinking come to the fore.

Historical background

The traditional World Junior Chess Championship (under 20) has a rich history that began in 1951. Over its many years of history, the tournament has become a stepping stone to great achievements for many future world champions and grandmasters.

Although junior rapid and blitz championships are relatively new, they have quickly gained popularity. This has allowed us to identify talents who are best suited to the fast format of the game. Similar tournaments, which appeared as a complement to the classic championships, are now considered no less important and interesting for spectators.
