Welcome in October 2022!

True enough, there are numerous possibilities to play chess every day in our time. That is - if you are interested in playing online with very short time limits. Week-long over the board tournaments with long time limits and very good chances for title norms, on the other hand were relatively few before the pandemy back in 2019. Now in 2022 there are even fewer such quality tournaments. It seems that many chess players, especially young talents on their way up, will have too few developing title tournaments to play this year as well. In this situation the Fagernes organizers have unanimously decided to offer our chess friends a second tournament this year! Fagernes International Autumn 2022 will take place from October 9 to October 16, with the same prizes and the same concept as our recent April tournament. Our October tournament now is open for registrations and the webpage with many further details is available: https://fagerneschessautumn2022.blogspot.com/
