International Chess Federation (FIDE), on Saturday, overhauled the qualification process for the next Candidates tournament to be held in 2026.
From the 2026 edition onwards, the runner-up of the World Championship will no longer be eligible for a direct qualification to the event.
The runner-up of the World Championship match in 2024 has to join the qualification process. The runner-up, however, will receive bonus points based on the match performance.
