The World Senior Chess Championship 2023 took place in Terrasini, Italy, with a championship for players age 50+, 65+, and a combined women’s section with prizes both for players 50+ and 65+. At the time of writing, no official photos for the event are available.
In the end, the favourites prevailed at the Senior World Championships, but only just. Michael Adams and John Nunn had to settle for a photo finish in the two open events, the 50+ and the 65+. Monica Calzetta Ruiz and Galina Strutinskaia won the senior women's titles. | Photos: Patricia Claros
