FIDE Candidates 2024
Mark Crowther - Tuesday 2nd April 2024
The FIDE Candidates tournament takes place in The Great Hall in Toronto, Canada. Round 1 is on Thursday 4th April and the final Round is Sunday 21st April with tie-breaks on the 22nd April if required. Play starts at 14:30 local time which is 19:30 BST. The winner will play Ding Liren in a match for the World Chess Championship later this year.
Players: Ian Nepomniachtchi, R Praggnanandhaa, Fabiano Caruana, Nijat Abasov, Vidit Gujrathi, Hikaru Nakamura, Gukesh D , Alireza Firouzja. The event is a double round robin, the Indian and US players will play each other early in each cycle.
Gukesh is the youngest ever winner of the Candidates at 17 years old (14)
Dommaraju Gukesh won the FIDE Candidates at the age of 17 years old. He comfortably held a draw against Hikaru Nakamura in the final round of the event. Fabiano Caruana built up a winning position against double defending champion Ian Nepomaniachtchi but a blunder on the first move after first time control allowed a draw and Gukesh's victory. Gukesh should play Ding Liren later in the year for the World Title. Ding seems to have had some kind of personal crisis since taking the title and has hardly played, and when he has it's not been very good play.
