| Dortmund Candidates (2002) |

The 30th Dortmund Sparkassen Chess-Meeting took place in the "Golden Hall" of the Westfalenhallen Congress Center in Dortmund, Germany 6-21 July 2002. Rest days (except for tiebreaks): July 12 & 17. The tournament in 2002 also served as a Candidates tournament, to select a challenger for world champion Vladimir Kramnik. Chief arbiter: Andrzej Filipowicz. The 8 players were divided into two groups (A and B), each playing a double round robin with Classical time control. Then the two best in each group played a KO tournament with four Classical games, and if necessary Rapid and Blitz games. Peter Leko won the event by beating Topalov 2˝-1˝ in the final: Group A (6-11 July):
01 02 03 04

Topalov 1001 ˝1 3˝
Bareev 0110 ˝0 2˝
Leko advanced to the Kramnik - Leko Classical World Championship Match (2004). The victory was no doubt deserved, but Garry Kasparov (who felt he should have a re-match with Kramnik), Viswanathan Anand (who was bound by his contract with FIDE), Ruslan Ponomariov (the FIDE world champion) and Vassily Ivanchuk did not participate.The match between David Baramidze and Alisa Maric was won by the former with 4˝-3˝. The match between 16-year-old Arkadij Naiditsch and Jan Timman ended 4-4. The Open A swiss tournament was won by Tigran Vaanovic Nalbandian with 9/11.
