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