Chess World Cup 2023

The Chess World Cup 2023 was a 206-player single-elimination chess tournament that took place in Baku, Azerbaijan from 30 July to 24 August 2023.[1] It was the 10th edition of the Chess World Cup. The winner, runner-up and third-place finisher of the tournament (Magnus Carlsen, R Praggnanandhaa and Fabiano Caruana) earned the right to the play in the 2024 Candidates Tournament.[2][3] In January 2024, Carlsen withdrew from the Candidates tournament, with the fourth-place finisher from the World Cup (Nijat Abasov) qualifying in his place.[4][5] The tournament was held in parallel with the Women's Chess World Cup 2023.

3rd place Fabiano Caruana

Jan-Krzysztof Duda was the defending champion.[6][7] He lost in the fifth round (last 16) to Fabiano Caruana.[8]

Format

The tournament was an eight-round knockout event, with the top 50 seeds having been given a bye directly into the second round. The losers of the two semi-finals played a match for third place. The players who finished first, second, and third qualified for the Candidates Tournament 2024, a tournament to decide the challenger for the upcoming World Championship.[9][10]

Each round consisted of classical time limit games on the first two days, plus tie-breaks on the third day if they were required. The time limits were as follows:

Two classical time limit games: 90 minutes, plus a 30-minute increment on move 40, plus a 30-second increment per move from move 1, per player. If the match was tied after the classical games, players played two rapid chess games, with 25 minutes plus a 10-second increment per move, per player. If the match was tied, players played two more rapid chess games, with 10 minutes plus a 10-second increment per move, per player. If the match was still tied, players played two blitz games, with five minutes plus a three-second increment per move, per player. If the match was still tied, a single blitz game, with three minutes plus a two-second increment per move, was played to decide the match. A drawing of lots determined which player had white. If the game was drawn, the players switched colors and played again, and this process was repeated until a decisive result was obtained.

Schedule

Each round lasted three days: two for classical time control games and a third, if necessary, for tie-breaks. Rounds 1 to 3 ran from July 30 to August 7; August 8 was a rest day; Rounds 4 to 6 ran from August 9 to 17; August 18 was a rest day; and the last two rounds ran from August 19 to 24.

Prize money

The total prize fund is US$1,834,000, with the first prize of US$110,000.

Notes

  1. Ding Liren would have been seeded first as the World Champion, but he declined to play in the World Cup.
  2. Players who appear inactive at least once in the 6 FIDE rating lists from January to June 2023 are not eligible.
  3. Nakamura initially qualified by rating, but declined his invitation due to unspecified summer plans. He later received a nomination by the FIDE president after his summer plans were cancelled.[33]
  4. Hansen did not show up for his matches due to travel issues.[35]
  5. Yoo did not show up for his matches due to travel issues.
