Google Doodle: The 2024 FIDE World Championship final will be held from November 25 to December 13 at Singapore's Equarius Hotel at Resorts World Sentosa. Ding Liren, the reigning world champion, will face India's Gukesh. On Monday, Google Doodle created an interesting animation to commemorate the start of the tournament.

Clicking on the doodle in yellow-red-blue-white pieces takes the user to the Google Doodle page, which reads, "Celebrating Chess," and adds, "This Doodle celebrates chess, a two-player strategy game played on 64 black and white squares."

"If you enjoy chess more than just in passing, celebrate by watching the World Chess Championship! Top chess players from around the world will compete in 14 classical games in Singapore this November and December, each of which might last more than four hours. The first player to win 7.5 points will be crowned global champion. In the event of a tie, keep an eye out for upcoming rapid games, followed by blitz games, in which each player has only three minutes to checkmate the opponent!" the Google Doodle Today states.

"Make a move this week." Remember, before you open with the Queen's Gambit or Sicilian Defense, you should have planned your mid-game! Challenge a friend to a game or tune in to see the championship unfold," it said.
