Ding Liren to substitute Sergey Karjakin
Sergey Karjakin qualified for the event as he was the runner up of the FIDE World Cup 2021. After FIDE’s ban on Sergey Karjakin for 6 months, it became clear that a replacement for the Russian player at the Candiadates Chess 2022 will be needed. By the current regulations, the player to enter the event will be selected by rating – considering the FIDE rating list published on May 1 as the regulations of the Candidates 2022 (full version here) clearly state:
2.3 If any replacement is needed, the highest-rated player in the FIDE May 2022 standard rating list shall be invited, provided he/she has at least 30 standard games rated in the FIDE rating lists from June 2021 to May 2022.

As the 3rd player on the FIDE rankings at the time of Karjakin’s ban, Ding Liren was the clear frontrunner in the race to replace Karjakin, but to be eligible for the Candidates spot he needed to play 26 rated classical games as at the moment of Karjakin’s ban he had only played 4 games since June 2021. After series of events organized by the Chinese Chess Federation, now Ding Liren has the required number of classical games and even higher ELO, securing the spot in the Candidates.

The winner of the Candidates Chess 2022 will qualify for the World Championship match later this year. The World Championship Match between the reigning World Champion and the Challenger, the winner of the 2022 Candidates Tournament, will consist of 14 games. The player who scores 7.5 points or more wins the Match, and no further games are played. If the score after 14 games is equal, the winner is decided on a tiebreak.
