Jon Ludvig Hammer who beat Magnus Carlsen in Norway Chess lately will return to Rilton Cup in Stockholm and hunt for his 3rd title in a row. No one has managed that in Rilton's 45 year long history. Best so far is Radoslaw Wijtaszek with two wins 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 and a 2nd place 2009/2010.

Stockholm has become "Hammertime" the
last years. What speaks for you to succeed
take third straight title in Rilton Cup?
– I feel I'm getting better year by year.
Your win against Magnus Carlsen in Norway Chess made headlines in the world of
chess. How were your feelings immediately after the game? And now some weeks
afterwards. What does the victory against Carlsen mean to you?
– It's always fun to beat the world champion,
and it was especially exciting to get to do it at
home ground.
Rilton is a long and grueling tournament.
Do you get some assistance between
rounds? By Carlsen maybe?
– I get along fine on my own, but the training
sessions with Team Carlsen before the two
World Cup matches have helped me of course.
Finally, what do you think it is that makes
you so successful in Rilton Cup?
– There is no guarantee of success, but of
course it helps to feel comfortable in a particular place with good memories from previous
years.
