National championships in Växjö

Press release by FIDE

GM Vitaly Sivuk won the Swedish Championship 2024, defending his national title.

Like last year, the Swedish Championship 2024 featured several categories, from a youth tournament to the Sverigemästarklassen, a round-robin tournament with classical time control for Sweden’s top chess players. The tournament took place in Växjö’s spacious Fortnox Arena from June 28 to July 7.

The defending champion took an early lead with four straight victories. Surprisingly, Vitaly then drew all his remaining games, but it was enough to secure the title with 6½/9 points. The 2022 champion, Jonny Hector, finished a half point behind and took silver, while Erik Blomqvist captured bronze thanks in no small part to his spectacular penultimate-round victory over Tiger Hillarp.
