Chess has always captivated the sharpest minds: physicists, mathematicians, world leaders – many of them Nobel Prize winners. But also artists, intellectuals, and those simply enchanted by the strategic beauty of the game. Around chess lingers an aura of sophistication, curiosity, elegance and playfulness.

At Norway Chess, our mission is to uphold our status as the world’s most prestigious chess tournament. “The Wimbledon of Chess,” as the legendary Garry Kasparov describes us. Each year, Norway Chess gathers the world’s leading players—both women and men. Last year, we made history as the first chess tournament to offer equal prize money for women and men. We continuously innovate to make the tournament as entertaining and engaging as possible, solidifying our place as a unique and leading force in the global chess community.

But we’re also shaping the future of chess. Every year, we host an open tournament for all rating categories, Norway Chess Open, that brings together hundreds of young and seasoned players. Some will rise to the top, perhaps becoming the next Carlsen, Kramnik, Fischer, or Kasparov. We also spread chess joy among youth, by contributing to chess education in schools and hosting school chess tournaments.

And those who don’t master the chessboard may be destined for even greater moves – ones that solve the climate crisis, the energy challenge, or the mysteries of cancer. That’s why we seek partners from the business community who can help provide these talents – and Norway Chess – a platform for growth. Together, we can bring leaders and decision-makers together to discuss the next big moves that could change the world. Because Norway Chess is more than a chess tournament. Each year, we host Norway Summit, a premier knowledge-sharing conference that brings together world-leading thinkers, innovators, investors, and decision-makers to explore the intersection of technology, innovation, and economics.

When Norway Chess occurs, millions around the world tune in from key global markets such as the USA, China, India, Pakistan, and across Europe. The chessboard draws top politicians, world leaders, business executives, entrepreneurs, and a new generation of thinkers.
