Vladimir Potkin told where the match for the title of world chess champion can take place

International grandmaster and coach of Ian Nepomniachtchi Vladimir Potkin said that the match for the chess crown between his ward and Ding Liren could take place in Mexico.

“Initially, there was an idea that the match would be held in Mexico. Although it is possible that another Latin American country is also meant. It’s good that the schedule is maintained — this is good news. We will continue to watch and wait for the official announcement. Since this is Latin America, then Ian is waiting for a time zone change. This means that acclimatization and nutrition issues will be important,” – Potkin said.

Yesterday it became known, that the match for the title of the 17th World Chess champion will be held from April 7 to April 30, 2023.
