GAMMA Reykjavík Open 2019

“A perfect tournament for amateurs too. It’s always a highlight if you beat a 250-points higher rated player at a playing venue with fantastic sea views. 2017 will be my 5th consecutive participation in Reykjavik. I already threatened the organizers not to stop visiting before my 50th visit. A secret info from my side. there is a restaurant where Bobby Fischer used to enjoy his dinner. The seat is easy to identify by a picture hanging at the wall. Which restaurant? Ask google or Gunnar. “

“Reykjavik Open has become my favorite tournament representing an excellent combination of serious chess, sightseeing, outdoor swimming pools, good food, and all the other fascinating possibilities that Iceland offers. Highly recommended!”
