The FIDE World Championship 2023 is due to take place in Astana, Kazakhstan, from April 7th to May 1st.
A new World Champion will be crowned, as Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren will battle to seize the throne left vacant by Magnus Carlsen’s withdrawal.

The match will be held in Astana, Kazakhstan, from 7 April to 1 May 2023.
The World Championship Match consists of 14 games. The player who scores 7.5 points or more wins the Match, and no further games are played. If the score after 14 games is equal, the winner is decided on a tiebreak — a series of rapid games will be used as a tie-breaker.
The time control will be 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, 60 minutes for the next 20 moves, and 15 minutes for the remainder, plus an increment of 30 seconds per move beginning at move 61. The same format was used for the previous world championship in 2021.
