The evening’s grand winner was Alexander Øye-Strømberg, who went undefeated in his second fuzzsjakk tournament with 8 out of 8 wins. Just behind him was Per Fredrik Holand with 7 out of 8 wins. A strong debut from the northern player, who has already made a name for himself with several strong national results.

Our concept of DGT boards and chess on stage continues, and we had several fun, interesting, and intense games on the big screen. Follow us on Instagram (#fuzzsjakk) for updates on the games.

After the tournament, it was time for the Master’s Challenge, where Alexander Øye-Strømberg played against Per Fredrik Holand over two games. Alexander won both after strong resistance from the northern player. Here you can see the game, move by move.

Once again, we express great joy in seeing so many new participants and more evenly matched games that created a great atmosphere.

Below is an overview of the tournament results, participant numbers, and highlights from a successful evening with a great atmosphere and lots of chess.
