Chess.com held an event and called it the "Speed Chess Championship". It's not an official event by a chess governing body, and the sourcing reflects that. It's all chess.com sources. The only other sources I can see are statistics and press releases on other chess websites (i.e. a list of who won or promotional information about the event with no in-depth coverage outside of chess.com). Nominating this and the 2018 event article separately since the sourcing may well be different. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:02, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - With all the information readily available at Chess.com [1], and it not being of general interest to the chess community more than other site-specific events, I'd say a reference on Chess.com to their detailed information page suffices.

Redirect to Chess.com#Speed_Chess_Championships due to lack of independent coverage.-- P-K3 (talk) 13:46, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
