The finest chess players in the world are headed for New York.

The World Chess Championship, a semiregular one-on-one match administered by the World Chess Federation (FIDE), will be played in New York City this November, The Wall Street Journal learned Monday, marking the first time in 21 years that the world’s greatest chess player will be crowned on American soil.

The reigning world champion, Magnus Carlsen, who defended his title against India’s Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship of 2014, will be on hand to play a yet-to-be-determined challenger in a 12-round match from Nov. 10 to Nov. 30 at a New York location that also has yet to be finalized.

Agon, the commercial partner of FIDE and the organizer of the World Chess Championship, had previously said that it wanted to hold the 2016 World Chess Championship in the U.S., with Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York emerging as preferred sites.

Ilya Merenzon, CEO of Agon, said Monday that he is in discussions with a number of New York venues, including the World Trade Center and other Manhattan locations. In 1995, Garry Kasparov beat Anand in a 20-game match on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center—the last time the chess world championship was staged in the U.S.
