The FIDE World Championship 2023 is due to take place in Astana, Kazakhstan, from April 7th to May 1st.
The tournament will include a total of 14 rounds of matches and the winner can win a prize money of 2 million Euros.
Astana has a long tradition of hosting chess events.
In September 2022, it held the first leg of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix, won by Kateryna Lagno, and in March 2019, it also hosted the FIDE World Team Chess Championship.
With just over one million inhabitants, the city has received different names during its history: Akmolinsk, Tselinograd, Akmola, and until recent times, Nur-Sultan. The city became the capital of Kazakhstan in 1997.
On 16 July 1999, Astana was awarded the medal and title of the City of Peace by UNESCO.
