☆ The Winding Climb to Play in the World Chess Championship
  + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Dylan Loeb Mcclain | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Candidates Tournament to select a challenger for the World Chess Championship will be held in April in Toronto. The ensuing chaos led to criticism of the International Chess Federation, the game’s governing body, also known as FIDE. Six of the eight players in the Candidates Tournament were decided before December, leaving two places up for grabs and five players vying for them. One spot was for the player with the highest rating on FIDE’s list on Jan. 1 who had not already qualified. In an attempt to secure the remaining slots, some players entered last-minute or obscure tournaments that FIDE had not anticipated they would participate in.

☆ Dommaraju Gukesh: Indian chess sensation defeats Magnus Carlsen on his 17th birthday
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Ben Morse | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
1 and five-time world champion must rank up there among the best for chess grandmaster Dommaraju Gukesh. On his 17th birthday, the young Indian chess star beat Magnus Carlsen in the blitz event ahead of the Norway Chess tournament. After three games of the official tournament, Gukesh sits fourth in the standings with one win, one loss and one draw. Last week, Carlsen won his first tournament since he relinquished the world championship title he had held for a decade. Since then, Abhimanyu Mishra broke the record and became the youngest chess grandmaster at the age of 12 years, four months and 25 days.
