Viswanathan Anand Is Back! Will Play In World Rapid And Blitz Team Championship
Last Updated: Viswanathan Anand will compete in the World Rapid and Blitz Team Chess Championship. Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand will compete for the Freedom team, led by FIDE CEO Emil Sutovsky, in the World Rapid and Blitz Team Chess Championship starting in Dusseldorf, Germany. Anand is the only Indian player on his team. The WR Chess team, considered the favourites, will be led by Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi on the top board, as the world's number one player, Magnus Carlsen, has withdrawn from the tournament. Arjun Erigaisi will play on the top board for his team, supported by P Harikrishna on the second board. They will represent the SG Alpine Warriors team. World junior champion V Pranav is a valuable addition to the SG Alpine Warriors, along with Luke Leon Mendonca, tipped as a future star of Indian chess, following the rise of world champion D Gukesh, Arjun Erigaisi, R Praggnanandhaa, and Aravindh Chithambaram. Nihal Sarin will also compete, representing the fifth-seeded Ashdod Elite Chess Club. Both Nihal and Anand will play as the top seeds on their respective boards, as will Arjun Erigaisi. However, the event will be without Carlsen and Gukesh, who have both opted out. The WR Chess team is the top contender for the title, boasting players like Nepomniachtchi, Alireza Firouzja, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Hikaru Nakamura, Alexandra Kosteniuk, and Wesley So. Each round must include a female player and a player rated below 2200 on the FIDE rating list as of 1 June, adding a compelling dynamic to the tournament. The event offers substantial prize money, with the winners of the rapid and blitz competitions receiving USD 110,000 and USD 75,000 respectively. The previous edition was highly successful, due in large part to Carlsen's participation. The prospects of the Indian team, SG Alpine Warriors, rest heavily on Arjun Erigaisi's performance.

Delhi, Kolkata swap Test matches as BCCI announces changes to India's home cricket season
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday announced multiple changes to the home international schedule, including for South Africa and West Indies' tours set to take place in October, November and December. While no official reason has been given for the changes, the announcement comes after concerns were raised about pollution levels in Delhi in November, when South Africa were scheduled to play a Test match there. Delhi will now play host to the second Test against the West Indies that is scheduled to start on October 14 while South Africa's first Test will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 14 to 18. Kolkata was initially scheduled to host the second West Indies Test. According to PTI, BCCI's Cricket Operations team collated the AQI data over the past few years and decided that venue swap is a viable option. While venues have been changed, the dates for the season remain the same. India's home season starts with two Tests against West Indies, starting October 2 in Ahmedabad, followed by the Delhi Test. They then play a full three format series against South Africa starting with two Tests, followed by three ODIs and five T20 Internationals across various Indian venues. While Kolkata hosts the opening Test, Guwahati's Barsapara Stadium will host a red ball international for the first time with the second match scheduled to be played there from November 22 to 26. The ODIs will be held at Ranchi (November 30), Raipur (December 3) and Visakhapatnam (December 6). The five T20Is will be held at Cuttack (December 9), New Chandigarh (December 11), Dharamsala (December 14), Lucknow (December 17) and Ahmedabad (December 19). The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) had earlier expressed ts inability to host the women's ODI series against Australia starting September 14 at the Chepauk Stadium. The first two matches of will now be played in Mullanpur (New Chandigarh) and the third match in New Delhi. The series serves as a pre-cursor to the 50-over World Cup which will be hosted by India starting September 30.
