Still Thinking About Your Next Move?
GM Ian Rogers
“The Reykjavik Open is one of the strongest and most innovative open tournaments in the world, played in the magnificent Harpa building – think a black Sydney Opera House with plenty of side-events plus, of course, the chance to see amazing Iceland. Not surprisingly a steady stream of US players makes a February pilgrimage to Iceland – home to the famous 1972 world title match as well as Bobby Fischer’s home for his final years (and his final resting place).”

“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.”

“One of the strongest opens. Brilliantly organized in a stunning country. I have played 4 times and still can’t get enough. The Reykjavik Open is a keeper!”
