Altibox Norway Chess 2013
2 - 14 June 2013
Sergey Karjakin won his first tournament alone for two years in one of the best results of his career so far. Describing it as one of the best days of his life he had to work hard to gain the draw he needed against Veselin Topalov after making an inaccuracy after being surprised by the choice of variation of his opponent. Whilst Karjakin admitted "I think I played a bad move 14..f5?" and was worse the players didn't find any clear possiblities for Topalov and after 35...Nxc4 Karjakin was equal and later even better but by this point he knew a draw was good enough and he took it.
