Congratulations to GM @SVODMEVKO for winning our Blitz Titled Arena, ahead of GM @FeegLood, GM Christopher Yoo, GM Shant Sargsyan, and GM Alireza Firouzja!

Our June 3+0 Warm-up Arena starts at 18:00 UTC! You will have the chance to play against some of the titled players before they enter the Blitz Titled Arena.

GM Magnus Carlsen is the winner of Norway Chess 2025! GM Fabiano Caruana finished in 2nd place, while the reigning World Champion, GM Gukesh Dommaraju, took 3rd place. GM Anna Muzychuk secured 1st place in the Women's Tournament, with GM Lei Tingjie coming in 2nd and GM Koneru Humpy in 3rd place.

GM Aravindh Chithambaram won the 6th Stepan Avagyan Memorial ahead of GM Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, repeating his success at the 2025 Prague International Chess Festival, and climbed to 9th in the live ratings!

Our broadcasts now support custom game scores on player and result pages! Check it out in our Norway Chess 2025 broadcast, where players receive 3 points for a win in the classical game instead of just 1, for example.

Streamers and communities, get ready for the next Streamers Battles on 9 June at 15:00 UTC and 7 July at 15:00 UTC, with prizes for streamers whose teams finish in the top 4! If you're a streamer and want to participate with your team, see here.
