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 2½-1½ in the final: Group A (6-11 July):
01 02 03 04
=1 Shirov 2697 ** ½½ ½1 ½1 4
=1 Topalov 2745 ½½ ** 1½ 1½ 4
3 Gelfand 2710 ½0 0½ ** 1½ 2½
4 Lutz 2655 ½0 0½ 0½ ** 1½
Group A playoff (12 July):

Topalov 001½ 1½
Topalov 1001 ½1 3½
Bareev 0110 ½0 2½
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 Vasyl Ivanchuk did not participate.The match between David Baramidze and Alisa Maric was won by the former with 4½-3½. The match between 16-year-old Arkadij Naiditsch and Jan Timman ended 4-4. The Open A swiss tournament was won by Tigran Nalbandian with 9/11. Regulations: https://en.chessbase.com/post/dortm...

'Let's say you're interested in chess, the royal game, the game of kings. With chess databases of millions of games on the market and an extensive literature, where do you start? One excellent place is with the games of the best players. Who are they? They are the players who have fought for the title of World Chess Champion, and these pages chronicle their struggles.' Manuel William Weeks (kibitz #1) A few words about the site
This site has been in the making since May 1997. We were looking for information on the Web related to one of the 1960's Candidates matches and couldn't find anything. We decided to gather as many World Chess Championship games as we could find and make them available ourselves. https://www.mark-weeks.com/chess/a1...
