Sweden is now a regulated market, which means that as a player you can only play at casinos with a license. See all regulated casinos in Sweden by Mr casinova.
Recently Viswanathan Anand gave his second and ex-FIDE World Chess Champion Rustam Kazimdzhanov a beating in rapid chess with a score of 3.5-0.5. This time as part of the Leon Chess Festival the formidable Alexei Shirov was to challenge him in a 6-game match.
The result was yet another convincing victory for the World Chess Champion: Anand won 3 games and drew 3. An amazing performance by a young father! Especially telling was the game that Shirov lost in 17 moves with White in the Caro-Cann. When asked about his impressions at a chess message board, the #1 Spanish GM mentioned that "hardly prepared for the match, as I wasn't motivated enough". Interesting was ex-FIDE World Champion Alexander's Khalifman remark about that: "For Vishy playing chess is as natural as, for example, breathing. He doesn't need any motivation. Alexei is more down-to-earth in this respect..."
