Toronto Candidates - Round by Round

In the previous post, A Soft-spoken Challenger (May 2024), I wrote,
Because of an intervening half-month vacation, the wrapup report and separate report [on the women's event] will have to wait. In the meantime, here's a video from Youtube's FIDE chess channel.

I used this post to catch up on the event by creating a table of important links. The column titled 'Chess.com' links to news report for each round. The column titled 'FIDE Video' links to Youtube's FIDE chess Live Streams.
