The World Championship 2013...

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”.

I wonder who’s putting up the money?

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…
