Forthcoming Events

The previous post, 2022-23 WGP Wrapup (September 2023), was the last of my updates for recent events. For this current post I updated my two main index pages by adding links to Wikipedia for forthcoming events:-

• World Chess Championship [WCC]
• World Chess Championship for Women

Also worth mentioning are two FIDE pages describing the next WCC cycles:-

• FIDE World Championship, Cycle 2023-2024
• Women’s World Championship Cycle, 2023-2025

At this time I'm not sure why there's a discrepancy between the years for the two cycles. The unrestricted championship says, '2024 DATES AND HOST CITY TO BE ANNOUNCED'. The women's championship says, 'DATES AND HOST CITY TO BE ANNOUNCED'. The FIDE Calendar currently lists four events for the two separate cycles:-

• FIDE Grand Swiss and Women’s Grand Swiss 2023 • Isle of Man • 23 Oct 2023 • 06 Nov 2023
• FIDE World Fischer Random Championship • • 19 Feb 2024 • 25 Feb 2024
• Women's Candidates Tournament • Toronto, Canada • 03 Apr 2024 • 25 Apr 2024
• Candidates Tournament • Toronto, Canada • 03 Apr 2024 • 25 Apr 2024

I include the 'FIDE World FRC [Chess960] Championship' for completeness. Perhaps one day it will be considered a World Championship of the same importance as the others, but I'm not holding my breath.
