The 2013 Candidates Tournament was an eight-player chess double round-robin tournament that took place in the Institution of Engineering and Technology, Savoy Place, London, from 15 March to 1 April 2013.[1]
This was the first time in 51 years that the round-robin format had been used for a Candidates, though it had been used for the 2005 (FIDE) and 2007 world championships.[2]
The tournament was won by Magnus Carlsen, on tiebreak ahead of Vladimir Kramnik, after a dramatic final round in which they both lost.
