2016 Norway Chess Tournament

The 2016 Norway Chess Tournament begins soon. The main event will be a 10-player round robin featuring Magnus Carlsen and many other stars.

Apparently FIDE has decided to stop updating the ratings for Ukrainian players, and this affects Eljanov.

Wesley So defeated Akobian and caught up to Caruana. Robson certainly had the opportunity to join them at the top, but he blundered away a winning endgame, gaining only a draw.
