This is good news for the Bilbao and London Chess Classic tournaments, both of which were imperiled by FIDE's original decision to hold the next Candidates' event in London from October 24-November 12 of this year. With Linares and the Amber tournaments no longer holding that slot on the calendar, the move to March 13-31 of 2013 is uncharacteristically sensible of the international chess federation, though the decision came too late for the Tal Memorial organizers to maintain their original dates.
