Norway Chess Women: After thirteen years in Stavanger, Norway Chess and Norway Chess Women will be hosted in Oslo, with Deichman Bjorvika acting as the primary venue, the organisers said on Tuesday.  

The event is scheduled from May 25 to June 5. Since its inception in 2013, Stavanger has hosted Norway Chess.

“Norway Chess would not have become the event it is today without the cross-party political support and the generous welcome we have received in Stavanger. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the City of Stavanger, which has stood by us all the way, especially in the development of Norway Chess Women, a pioneering women’s tournament with equal prize conditions," said Kjell Madland, founder and CEO of Norway Chess.
