The traditional annual Sigeman Chess tournament took place in Malmo, Sweden. Three players emerged as winners of the prestigious 21st edition. Richard Rapport (2674) is a rising Hungarian star. The 17-year old chess prodigy is already approaching the symbolic 2700 mark. Nigel Short (2681), "the handsome British chess legend" (that's how he refers to himself at PlayChess) has another tournament victory to add to his impressive resume. Nils Grandelius (2556), a young tactical Swedish player, was not among the favorites, yet he managed to perform at the highest level of all the participants: FIDE 2716. The other five grandmasters who took part in Sigeman-2013 were Ivan Sokolov and Loek Van Wely (both from Netherlands), as well as Hans Tikkanen, Berg Emanuel and Jonny Hector (all from Sweden).
