The 2013 World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 2 to 20 June, 2013 in Ufa, Russia. 40 players from 24 countries who qualified through the championships of Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America competed in the tournament. Among them was women's Draughts World Champion Zoja Golubeva from Latvia.

Alexander Georgiev became the World Champion. Jean Marc Ndjofang took second place, and Roel Boomstra took third place.

Rules and regulations

In the first stage, 40 participants were divided into 4 groups named after the world champions Andris Andreiko, Baba Sy, Iser Kuperman, and Marcel Deslauriers. Each group played a round-robin tournament. The top 3 players from each group, 12 players in total, advanced to the final. Other players played in the final B.

The final was played as a round-robin tournament. Matches between players who had already played each other in the group stage did not take place, with the results from the group stage being used instead.

The final rankings were determined by total points. If two or more players finished with the same score, the following tiebreaks were applied: Number of wins. The greatest difference between plus and minus draws. The largest number of plus draws. Results in the direct encounters between the tied players. Results obtained against opponents in order of their final ranking.

In a drawn game where the material difference was 3 or more pieces (with a king counted as 2), the player with the superior material received a plus draw, while the opponent received a minus draw.
