    FIDE World Fischer Random Chess: Norway Chess, which has already got confirmation from five of the top-10 in FIDE Rankings, on Tuesday announced that world-renowned American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, currently ranked World No. 3, will compete in Norway Chess 2025. This will be Nakamura’s seventh time at Norway Chess, where his exciting games and competitive spirit have made him a favourite among fans.

    This year’s event promises intense battles as the youngest World Champion, Gukesh Dommaraju, takes on the world’s top three players. Adding to the excitement, India’s No.1 Arjun Erigaisi and China’s No.1 Wei Yi will make their Norway Chess debuts. The prestigious event to be held in Stavanger, Norway from May 26 to June 6, 2025, will feature World No.1 Magnus Carlsen, World No.2 Fabiano Caruana, World No. 3 Hikaru Nakamura, World No. 4 Arjun Erigaisi, World No. 5 Gukesh D, World No. 9 Wei Yi.

    "This is one of the strongest line-ups in a chess tournament ever, with four of them with a rating over 2800 – the average rating across players is 2795. There are only five rating points that separate it from the strongest tournament we had, which was Norway Chess in 2017," the organizers of the event informed in a release on Tuesday.
