will be held in Chennai,India from Nov 6 to Nov 26. About $6,525,000.00 is being allocated for the event.
update…Paris has bid 2.65M Euro + 0.8M to FIDE. Chennai had apparently bid 2.55M Euro
I have heard of Chennai in one other context. They have a campus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Unfortunately IIT a year or so ago removed course materials from public view on the Web
You may be more familiar with Chennai as “Madras”.

Haolin Zhao will be world champion eventually imo.
Since there is no WCC 2014 thread, I decided to post in this one. It looks like Carlsen is winning this year before…
