revealed that Jon Ludvig Hammer had been doing opening preparation from Norway. Ian Nepomniachtchi and Laurent Fressinet have been supposed as seconds. Over a year after the match Carlsen also revealed that Pavel Eljanov had been among his seconds in the Chennai match. Schedule and results The match between Anand and Carlsen took place at the Hyatt Regency Chennai hotel in Chennai, India, from 7 to 25 November 2013, under the auspices of FIDE. The opening ceremony was held on 7 November. Twelve classical games were scheduled, each starting at 3 pm local time (09:30 UTC). Rest days were to take place after games 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11. Had the match been tied after the 12th game on 26 November tie-break games would have been played on 28 November. As the match was decided before the 12th game, the remaining scheduled games were not needed, and the closing ceremony was held on 25 November. The time control for the games gave each player 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, 60 minutes for moves 41–60 and 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with an increment of 30 seconds per move starting after move 61. Tie-break games were meant to have increasingly limited time controls. Carlsen won $1.53 million while Anand received $1.02 million for this match. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; background:white; color:black" |+World Chess Championship 2013 |- ! !!
