In the nearly six months since my previous post on this blog, Toronto Candidates - Wrapup (June 2024), world class chess has moved from the end of a Candidates tournament to the start of a World Championship match.
For this post I updated my two main index pages. Both pages are now showing a second cycle with links to Wikipedia instead of to my own material:-
A big difference between the two cycles is that the World Championship allocates two Candidate spots to the FIDE Circuit - one for the year 2024 and one for the year 2025. The Women's Championship allocates two spots to the 2024-25 Women's Grand Prix.
Another difference is that the World Championship allocates one spot for highest rating. The Women's Championship allocates one spot to 'FIDE Women’s Events 2025-26' (NB: events from 2024-25), which uses a point system to combine results from eight top women's tournaments.
