Compiled by Tabanus
--*--

The 48th Capablanca Memorial was 6-player double round robin played from 21 April to 1 May 2013 in the Hotel Habana Riviera, Havana, Cuba. Games started at 3 pm. Rest day: April 26. Time controls: 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, then 30 more minutes to finish the game, having 30 seconds added per move from the start. The Hungarian Zoltan Almasi won with 6.5/10, and returned to the expanding list of players rated over 2700 by gaining 15 Elo points. Quesada surprised with a second place on tiebreak ahead of Dominguez, and could have won the event if not for losing to Inarkiev in Round 8. The winner earned 1,800 Cuban pesos (about 2250 USD).
