  • Olympiad spots for 2025 World Cup and Women World Cup

    FIDE published list of teams which qualified for additional spot for 2025 World Cup. The list is here

    While for the National Team is was relatively easy to get additional spot, for Women Team it was far from sure thing. 2 years ago, in Chennai Women Team failed to qualify for this spot.

    The CFC has to inform FIDE about our representatives between Jun 1 and Jun 10, 2025. A few points about selection process.

    1. This spot belongs to Olympic Team members. Only if all Olympic Team members decline the invitation, CFC could appoint a non-team player.
    2. 2 years ago, we dealt with this situation for the first time and it was decided that 3 factors should be taken into account.

    - FIDE rating
    - Olympiad performance
    - Canadian Closed performance

    For the World Cup - 2023, the combination of these 3 factors gave Eric Hansen some small advantage over Raja Panjwani. Unfortunately, Eric could not get to Baku due to visa issues.
