2021 Women's World Cup Crosstables

In last week's post, 2021 Women's World Cup Preparation (September 2021), I wrote,

I'll need some more time to finish the 2021 FIDE Women's World Cup crosstables. After that I'll add the PGN files to the page and update the Index of Women Players.

I added the crosstables to the page for 2021 FIDE Women's World Cup. The Fide.com server error that I mentioned in the 'Preparation' post has disappeared, so I am more confident that my data is correct.

As for the PGN and the Index of Players, the same task needs to be done for the concurrent event already documented in 2021 World Cup Crosstables (September 2021). After that, I'll catch up with the latest news for two upcoming events:-

• 2021 Grand Swiss; Riga (Latvia), X-XI, 2021 (m-w.com; '25 October - 8 November 2021')
• 2021 Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi; Dubai, XI-XII, 2021 (ditto; '24 November – 16 December 2021')

For those in-between weeks with nothing special to report, I'll document the zonals for the current cycle, C30. Here are a few corresponding references for the previous cycle, C29:-

• 2019-09-18: C29 Regulations for World Cup Qualifiers; see 'procedure for the previous cycle', i.e. C28]
• 2019-09-25: C29 Zonals
  [...]
• 2020-03-11: C29 Zonal Links

All that will keep me busy well into next year.

2021 Women's World Cup Preparation

In the previous post, 2021 World Cup Crosstables (September 2021), I noted,

Still to be done: [...] prepare the crosstables for the concurrent event 2021 FIDE Women's World Cup.

That harks back to an earlier post, A New Cycle Is Evolving (August 2021). There I wrote,

The two World Cups finished this past week, so I used the TWIC files to prepare the PGN files for both events [...] and created 2021 FIDE Women's World Cup.

I'll need some more time to finish the 2021 FIDE Women's World Cup crosstables. After that I'll add the PGN files to the page and update the Index of Women Players.

NB: The official site from Fide.com is currently returning the message 'Oops! An Error Occurred; The server returned a "500 Internal Server Error"', so I wasn't able to check the TWIC player names against FIDE's, or verify that the individual match results were correct. I hope to be able to do both when I add the crosstables.

2021 World Cup Crosstables

After pausing a few weeks, I continued with 2021 World Cup Mismatches (August 2021). In that post I wrote,

The third and last step is to convert the text file [crosstables] to web page format by adding HTML markup tags. I wasn't able to do this for the current post, because I ran into a number of mismatches that had to be resolved.

Markup tags in place, I uploaded the result to 2021 World Cup; Sochi (Russia), VII-VIII, 2021. Still to be done:-

• Add the PGN.
• Add the names of the players to the World Chess Championship : Index of players.

Before doing that, I'll prepare the crosstables for the concurrent event 2021 FIDE Women's World Cup.
