Qualification to Championship 2023
There are 8 challengers in candidates whoever wins candidates got to play against world champion. Magnus Carlsen world champion of 2022 said that he will not defend his title so FIDE declare that the champion of candidates and the runner up of candidate will play each other and then we will decide the world champion so the champion of of candidates was Ian Nepomniachtchi and the runner of was ding liren.
But again there was an issue there was 8 challengers win candidates but sergey karjakin has been removed from the list because of his bad behaviour over russia and ukraine war so he has been banned. So that’s why Ding got chance to play the candidates.
