Still Thinking About Your Next Move?

“I know I am not the first one to say it but Reykjavik Open is an event I would never like to miss, it’s glued to my calendar”
GM Erwin L’ami – Winner of 2015
“In Reykjavik you feel the love and respect for our great game and with Harpa, the organizers secured an astonishing playing hall!”
Macauley Peterson
“The Reykjavik Open survived the financial crisis and now has stable financial and, equally important, political backing for the next three years. This year the tournament moved to a world-class concert hall called Harpa, which was completed last Spring. It is surely one of the most spectacular venues for an open tournament anywhere. The tournament is being positioned as a showcase event in the nation’s capital, but part and parcel of a larger chess development initiative. Icelanders see their country as a bridge between the Americas and Europe, and Reykjavik with its relaxed cosmopolitan flair is at the centre. Just pack your boots, and keep an eye out for elves!”
