In addition to the traditional elite chess tournaments in Linares, Spain; Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands; and Moscow, upstart events in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Nanjing, China, thrived, and a chess tournament had its debut in London. And Russia played host to the World Chess Cup. Buoyed by victories in Nanjing and London, Magnus Carlsen, ...
