The World Cities Championship took place 22nd-28th December 2012. Leading players: Tomashevsky, Giri, Vachier, Moiseenko, Fressinet, Wang Yue, Short, Edouard, Kryvoruchko, Ivan Sokolov, Tiviakov etc. Initially 6 groups of 4 teams play 3 rounds to produce teams for the final knock-out phase with 16 teams. Hoogeveen beat Tashkent 2.5-1.5 in the final thanks to a win from Sergei Tiviakov. Novi Sad drew 2-2 with Tashkent in the 3rd-4th playoff, I presume Novi Sad's win on top board meant they finished 3rd on tie-break. Romain Edouard edged out Maxime Vachier-Lagrave on tie-break after both finished on 7/9. All the games and final tables below.
