The 2022 FIDE Candidates Tournament is an 8-player double round-robin that will decide Magnus Carlsen's challenger for the 2023 World Championship match, or, if Magnus decides not to play the match, the two players who will battle it out for the title. There is also a €48,000 top prize at stake. The venue is the Palacio de Santoña, Madrid, from June 17th to July 4th. If players tie for 1st place there will be a playoff on July 5th. No draw offers are allowed before Black's 40th move.
The players get 2 hours for 40 moves, then 1 hour for the next 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment only from move 61. A playoff will feature two 15+10 rapid games followed, if needed, by two 3+2 blitz games. If still tied the players will keep playing single blitz games until one of them wins. If more than two players tie for 1st there will be a mini round-robin. Official website: worldchampionshipcycle.fide.com

Ding needs 7 rounds of classical chess to warm up

[@ogbmt]

It's ridiculous haha, hope he gets his shot at the world championship match now because I don't think I can cope with watching him do this for a 3rd time in the next candidates tournament, he's too good to do this nonsense haha

[@pocophonef1379]

Ding came very late at the event. He was so exhausted that he admitted that he just wanted to draw the first game. He needed some time i guess

[@seekzugzwangful]

You don't understand. It's ridiculously difficult to focus when you are suddenly in a different time zone with jet lag and hardly enough sleep. Ding arrived very late and without even a second. He got no time to prepare because he was busy qualifying when everyone else was preparing.. I hope Magnus refuses to play only because it would give Ding a shot.. he's one of the most deserving candidates as of now. 😉

This is by far the most motivational Candidates in recent time. Come on, Ding couldn’t play necessary matches to qualify for candidates, he had to play at 4 in morning, and hikaru proved that he is not only fast but also furious. Also not to mention, Ding is without any second or team to prepare. Nepo is on fire of revenge. so many storylines!!! It was a roller coaster.

[@hirukashiro5995]

Yeah kinda a happy ending. Nepo got his redemption arc, hopefully the next WCC won't be as bad even if he loses. Ding proved that he is still a beast and a worthy challenger after the last minute inclusion controversy and a bad start. Hikaru proved to the chess world that he is also still a beast, a streamerman that won Grand Prix and 3rd at candidates. It's kinda sad for Fabi. But he seems to lost interest in the tournament after the fact that it's almost impossible to be 1st. He seems doesn't care about being 2nd.

Yeah but it featured some of the worst chess you can see at the top level in Kramnik’s view
