Strongest level ever

The Icelandic Grandmaster Vignir Stefansson returns to the Kronborg Chess Open for the second year in a row and is at his highest level ever. With a rating of over 2550, Stefansson is ready to take on the strong competitors.

Remarkable career

Stefansson, who became the youngest Grandmaster in Iceland, has had a remarkable career. He has not only won the Icelandic championship in both classical and blitz chess but has also made a name for himself internationally. Stefansson continues his progress after becoming a Grandmaster in 2023.

Vil forbedre fjerdepladsen

Last year, Stefansson demonstrated his strategic skill and ability to perform under pressure, making him a key player in the tournament. This year, expectations are even higher as he has improved his rating and gained more experience. Last year, he achieved a 4th place in the Kronborg Chess Open, which he aims to improve in this year’s tournament.

We look forward to following GM Vignir Stefansson’s performances in the Kronborg Chess Open 2025.
