The 2024 Candidates Tournament was an eight-player chess tournament, held to determine the challenger for the World Chess Championship 2024. The tournament took place at The Great Hall in Toronto, Canada, from April 3–22, 2024.[1] The event was held alongside the Women's Candidates Tournament.[2][3] The event was won by Gukesh Dommaraju, which made him the youngest ever winner of a Candidates Tournament, and the youngest ever World Chess Championship challenger.[4][5] Following the event Gukesh went on to become the youngest World Champion by defeating Ding Liren in the 14th round of Classical Chess.
As with every Candidates tournament since 2013, it was a double round-robin tournament.[6][7] The winner of the tournament earned the right to play the World Chess Championship 2024 against the current World Chess Champion Ding Liren.[8]
