GM Swiss group:

A 9-round Swiss open for all players having the official titles GM, IM, FM, WGM, WIM or WFM from FIDE. Also qualified are players with an official FIDE-rating of at least 2000 and female players with at least 1900. Having had the required rating on the official FIDE-list at the time of registering for the tournament will be sufficient, even if the player’s rating drops below on the last list before the tournament. Registration limit is 1 October 2021, but later registrations might be accepted if space etc allows. A few players with a FIDE-rating below the official limit might be accepted for the GM-group. Players interested in this possibility must send a written application to the organizer at latest 1 October 2021. The tournament will count towards the Norwegian Grand Prix cycle (Norges Grand Prix 2021-2022) class M. Due to possible Covid-19 precautions the maximum number of players is limited to 120. If there are no travel restrictions we expect 12 to 14 GMs and a median Elo above 2300.
