The 47th Rilton Cup takes place from December 27th, 2017 to January 5th, 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden. The format is a 9-round Swiss open with 20,000 Swedish Kroner (about €2,000) on offer for first place. The "Rilton" in the Rilton Cup was Dr. Tore Rilton, who wanted the tournament to provide an opportunity for young Swedish talents to challenge strong masters from elsewhere. This year the tournament includes 75 players with FIDE titles.
The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game plus 30 seconds per move starting from move 1.
