Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament

Only a day after the exciting final of the US Championship and two after Astrakhan GP, ChessBomb begins to follow 18th annual Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament. The classical Hipp Theater in central Malmo hosts the tournament for thirteenth time. Six players will fight in a round-robin, starting on May 26. Games begin at 11:00 GMT, except for the last round, starting 2 hours earlier. GM Anish Giri (Holland, 2642) is the top seeded and the youngest (15 years old) participant. The other and not less intriguing players are: GM Jon Ludvig Hammer (Norway, 2610), GM Jonny Hector (Sweden, 2609), GM Tiger Hillarp Persson (Sweden, 2542), GM Pia Cramling (Sweden, 2536) and IM Nils Grandelius (Sweden, 2476). As usual, the broadcast will be accompanied by Stockfish's expert opinion.
