Here is the Wikipedia page with the brackets (including first-round pairings) for the Chess World Cup 2013:

At the time of this posting, there are four days until the tournament begins.

If you have any comments on the topic of this edition of the Chess World Cup, please leave them here.  Mine is this:  One reason why I'm excited to watch this one is that Hikaru Nakamura is FINALLY participating in a Chess World Cup, after skipping the last few for a number of reasons.  I've always thought the rapid-tiebreak format of this tournament would favor him.

Interesting after my last comment that Nakamura exits the tournament without playing a single rapid playoff.  Disappointed, but hey, Kamsky's fourth-round mini-match against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov has been nothing short of epic Laughing
