14th Norway Chess 2026
Mark Crowther - Monday 25th May 2026
The 14th Norway Chess tournament took place Mon 25th May to Fri 5th Jun 2026. There was the regular tournament and a women's event, this year with the same prize-money. Each event had 6 players and 10 rounds and there was an Armageddon game if there's a draw.
Open: Magnus Carlsen, Vincent Keymer, Alireza Firouzja, Wesley So, R Praggnanandhaa and D Gukesh. Women: Ju Wenjun, Zhu Jiner, Humpy Koneru, Bibisara Assaubayeva, Anna Muzychuk and Deshmukh Divya.
Praggnanandhaa won the event just pipping Wesley So by a point, Praggnanandhaa won his last four games. Magnus Carlsen had his poorest result in my memory, he won three and lost four. Bibisara Assaubayeva had led for much of the women's event and her only defeat in the final round didn't stop her winning. I give both the official final standings and a conventional table.
