Ding – Gukesh match will be the first time two players from Asia meet in a World Chess Championship in the 138 years history of the event. Moreover, it will be played in Asia, in Singapore the at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).
Contrary to what history books say, Peter Hiene Nielsen says Ding – Gukesh is NOT the first World Championship match between players from Asia! Stepping on the premise that now Russia is part of the Asian Chess Federation, Nielsen jokes that the first match between two Asian players is Anand – Kramnik in 2008.
DamnedBobby B upgrades the joke on Twitter and says, “If we go by players’ birth countries it was Bogoljubov vs Alekhine and if by countries they represented it was Botvinnik vs Bronstein in 1951”
