Nils Grandelius clinches Reykjavik Open with final-round win

Nils Grandelius scored an impressive 7½ out of 9 to become the outright winner at the 2023 edition of the Reykjavik Open. The Swedish grandmaster, who was the second seed in Iceland, beat Quentin Loiseau in the final round to claim first place. With over 400 participants in the traditional event, it was not surprising that seven players finished a half point behind the winner. Mustafa Yilmaz from Turkey and Abhijeet Gupta from India got second and third place on tiebreak criteria, respectively. | Photos: Hallfríður Sigurðardóttir
