The FIDE Candidates Tournament 2022 is a chess tournament organized by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) to determine the challenger for the World Chess Championship title. It will feature eight of the top chess players in the world competing for the right to challenge the current World Champion.
The FIDE Candidates Tournament 2022 will take place in Madrid, Spain and is scheduled to begin on March 14, 2022. The tournament will be held at a venue to be announced by FIDE.
The eight players for the FIDE Candidates Tournament 2022 are selected through various qualification methods, including the top finishers in the previous Candidates Tournament, the top players in the FIDE World Cup, and the top rated players in the FIDE rating list.
The FIDE Candidates Tournament 2022 will be a round-robin tournament, meaning each player will play against every other player in the tournament. The player with the most points at the end of the tournament will be declared the winner and will earn the right to challenge the World Champion.
At this time, it is unclear if spectators will be allowed at the FIDE Candidates Tournament 2022 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. FIDE will make an announcement closer to the tournament date regarding any restrictions or guidelines for spectators.
