Norway Chess started in 2012 with the idea of creating the world's strongest chess tournament on Norwegian soil.
In 2013, this vision became a reality when Stavanger welcomed the world's best players. Since then, they have returned every year. Today, Norway Chess is one of the world's most prestigious and renowned chess tournaments.
Each year, Norway plays host to the chess elite, drawing players to this action-packed tournament. For many, it's the highlight of their competitive calendar.
