What happened (match build-up)

A chess championship build-up narrative focuses on the World chess championship match in Geneva on November 25. The match is framed as the next chapter in World championship contest tradition in international classical chess.

The build-up narrative also highlights that FIDE (World Chess Federation) took time to confirm the venue for the World chess championship match, signalling a practical element of event planning before the match begins.

Background and earlier position (previous hosting and championship context)

The build-up narrative connects the current match with the previous title match hosted in Singapore, where Gukesh defeated Ding Liren. It also points to earlier World championship venues in Switzerland, including Brissago and Lausanne.

The build-up narrative includes a governance-reference name: it mentions Viswanathan Anand as FIDE’s interim president in the historical context being described.
