Toronto Canada

Winding down our trip to Japan and Korea with a three night layover in Toronto. It just so happened that the 2024 FIDE Candidates (chess) Tournament was taking place in Toronto during the time we were here. The event is an eight-player chess tournament, held to determine the challenger for the World Chess Championship 2024. We were lucky enough to get tickets that allowed us to view the play from balcony.
