Qualification for Grand Swiss
Invitations for Grand Swiss shall be determined according to the following criteria:
A. One hundred players qualify by FIDE rating
B. Women’s World Champion GM Ju Wenjun (as at 31 December 2022).
C. Four Continent spots. Each spot shall be decided by the respective Continental President by July 31, 2023.
D. Four players nominated by the FIDE President.
Perhaps she will prefer to play in the Women's event, with the likelihood of a much better prize.Roger de Coverly wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 10:42 amA little strange to deliberately choose to have an odd number of players.

"A Travel Allowance. The chess federation to which the player belongs shall determine the amount*:
USD 950 for all players belonging to a chess federation in Europe.
USD 1,600 for players belonging to a chess federation from the rest of the world."
If they have to play as FID, where does that place them for the travel allowance ?
But they add "The Organiser retains the right to compensate the travel fee according to the actual residence of the player".LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 9:53 amGood news for Russian players:
