Sigeman Chess
The 21st edition of the Sigeman Chess Tournament 2013 will take place on 22-28 May in Malmö, Sweden.
The organizers will use the same format that was seen last year, a single round-robin tournament between 8 players. The list of participants was already presented. The line-up has a nice mix of veterans and young talents, which will probably make for a nice entertaining event.
The time limit will be as follows: 100 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the remaining moves with 30 seconds cumulative increment for each move starting from the first move.
Last year winner was Fabiano Caruana.

Richard Rapport 2646 Hungary
