View source for Asian Team Chess Championship

The '''Asian Team Chess Championship''' (recently also called the '''Asian Nations Chess Cup''') is an international team [[chess]] tournament open to national federations affiliated to [[FIDE]] in [[Asia]] and [[Oceania]]. It is organized by the [[Asian Chess Federation]], and the winner qualifies to participate at the next [[World Team Chess Championship]].<ref name=oldregs>{{cite web |title=Regulations for the Asian Team Championship |url=https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/D0304 |work=FIDE Handbook |publisher=[[FIDE]] |access-date=8 December 2020}}</ref> The open championship has been held at intervals of anywhere from one to four years since 1974. The '''Asian Women's Team Chess Championship''' has been held concurrently with the open championship since 1995. Recent editions have additionally featured side team events held at {{chessgloss|rapid chess|rapid}} and {{chessgloss|blitz chess|blitz}} time controls.

The current Asian champion is Iran, which won in 2018 on home soil at [[Hamadan]].<ref name=iran2018>{{cite news |last=Pereira |first=Antonio |title=Asian Nations Cup 2018: Iran and China on top |url=https://en.chessbase.com/post/asian-nations-2018 |publisher=[[ChessBase]] |date=1 September 2018 |access-date=8 December 2020}}</ref> Of the twenty editions of the open championship, [[Chinese Chess Association|China]] has won eight times, the [[National Chess Federation of the Philippines|Philippines]] has won six times, [[All India Chess Federation|India]] has won three times, and Iran, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan have each won once.<ref name=main>{{cite web |last=Bartelski |first=Wojciech |title=Men's Asian Team Chess Championship's Overall Statistics: 1971-2016 |url=http://www.olimpbase.org/statisticsa/all_team.html |work=OlimpBase |access-date=8 December 2020}}</ref> The defending champion of the women's tournament is China, which has won eight of the ten women's championships played; Vietnam won the other two.<ref name=women>{{cite web |last=Bartelski |first=Wojciech |title=Women's Asian Team Chess Championship's Overall Statistics: 1995-2016 |url=http://www.olimpbase.org/statisticss/all_team.html |work=OlimpBase |access-date=8 December 2020}}</ref>

==Competition==
Each member federation located in FIDE Zones 3.1 to 3.7 is entitled to enter a national team of four players and an optional reserve player into the open or women's tournament.<ref name=newregs>{{cite web |title=Asian Nations Chess Cup |url=http://asianchess.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Asian-Nations-Cup-2018-IRI.pdf |publisher=Asian Chess Federation |access-date=8 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190308030752/http://asianchess.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Asian-Nations-Cup-2018-IRI.pdf |archive-date=8 March 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> The hosting nation is allowed to field two teams, and may field a third team if it results in an even number of participating teams.<ref name=oldregs/> Currently, matches in both the open and women's tournament are contested on four {{chessgloss|board|boards}}; the women's tournament had been contested on three boards from 1995 to 2008. Since 2008, the final standings in the tournament have been determined by the number of match points scored by each team; before 2008, scores were calculated based on board points. Various formats have been used for both the open and women's championships, with a round robin or [[Swiss-system tournament]] being the most common.
