“This was my first time to Iceland, to take part in one of the world’s great traditional open tournaments, the Reykjavik Open. I really liked the playing venue. The view from the playing table was the ocean, which always puts me in a good mood!”

I’m coming back and not alone:)-… I’ve played around the world and seen many places, but you really are in my Top 3 of all! The combination of nice people, venue, soccer (yes indeed!), good food and great chess culture, is simply a perfect reason to return!
“I have played in Reykjavik many times and it gets better every time. The playing conditions are superb and the organizers ensure that it’s a very competitive field. There is something for everyone while at Reykjavik, and I am sure I will be back there to defend my title next year.”
