The SportAccord World Mind Games took place in Beijing 12th to 18th December 2013. 16 top men and 16 top women's players play in Rapid, Blitz and Basque (play white and black games simultaneously against the same opponent). Website now seems available. Wang Yue won the rapid ahead of Leko, Sergey Karjakin won the blitz ahead of Levon Aronian. The interesting experiment of a Basque system tournament where players play two games one with each colour simultaneously against the same opponent was the last event and was won by Sergey Karjakin ahead of Shakhriyar Mamedyarov who beat Levon Aronian 2-0 in the final round. Games and results. If anyone followed the games live could they check the blitz games Le-Radjabov R1 and Dominguez-Le R2? They are identical in the compiled PGN.
