Yes, the proposed venues for all four FIDE senior events (European and World) in 2024 seem promising and more accessible than some of this year's.
I am therefore starting a new thread for 2024 events and Tim, Ian and Kevin may then like to repeat or expand upon their helpful comments in the new thread?

Re: FIDE senior events in 2023
I don't think there has been any mention yet of the 2023 World Senior Individual Championships.
I'm at Rome airport waiting for my onward flight to Palermo - I assume that most players are already there, but my travel was disrupted by London's airports cancelling flights left and right.
The entry list has not been updated for weeks, I hope that isn't a bad sign. Not even split between 50+ and 65+.

edit : But I'm wrong, new pages exist.

That's an awesome 65+ field, nine GMs and countless IMs, looks like the strongest 65+ ever.

There is a separate thread for this and my reports are posted late each evening at
http://www.chessmail.com/seniors/Terras ... s2023.html
Yes probably the strongest 65+ yet. I am not playing this year so can enjoy watching it more.
