The Chess World Cup 2013 was a 128-player single-elimination chess tournament, played between 11 August and 2 September 2013, in the hotel Scandic Tromsø in Tromsø, Norway.[1][2] It was won by Vladimir Kramnik, who defeated Dmitry Andreikin 2½–1½ in the final match.[3] The finalists qualified for the 2014 Candidates Tournament.

The winner of the Chess World Cup 2011, Peter Svidler, was defeated by Dmitry Andreikin in the quarter-finals.

Format

Matches consisted of two games (except for the final, which consisted of four). Players had 90 minutes for the first 40 moves followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 seconds per move from the start of the game. If a match was tied after the regular games, tie breaks were played on the next day. The format for the tie breaks was as follows:

  • Two rapid games (25 minutes plus 10 seconds increment) were to be played.
  • If the score was tied after two rapid games, two rapid games (10 minutes plus 10 seconds increment) were to be played.
  • If the score was tied after four rapid games, the opponents were to play two blitz games (five minutes plus three seconds increment).
  • If the score was tied after a pair of blitz games, an
    armageddon
    game (in which a draw counts as a win for Black) was played. White would have five minutes and Black would have four minutes, and both players would have a three seconds per move increment beginning with move 61.

Qualification paths

Prominent non-participants

world's top 30 who did not participate is Ding Liren.[6] Levon Aronian (who declined to play in 2009 and 2011) and Vladimir Kramnik (who had never played in a Chess World Cup) chose to participate because FIDE made participation in either the Chess World Cup or the FIDE Grand Prix series mandatory for qualification to the 2014 Candidates Tournament through rating.[7]

Post-tournament opinions

In particular, Alexander Grischuk was decidedly negative about the organization, as was noted coach Vladimir Chuchelov.[8][9]
