The 2013 Reykjavik Open finished with a 3-way tie for first place on
8/10 points between Pavel Eljanov, Wesley So and the Egyptian GM Amin
Bassem.
The tournament will be remembered as the event where 13 year-old Wei
Yi gained his 3rd GM norm to become the youngest Grandmaster in the
world today, and the 4th youngest ever!
