TePe Sigeman: Carlsen to face rising star Erdogmus in first-ever classical chess encounter

World number one Magnus Carlsen is set to return to classical tournament play at the TePe Sigeman Chess Tournament, scheduled for 1–7 May in Malmö. The Norwegian will face an ambitious field that includes Tata Steel Masters winner Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Arjun Erigaisi and rising star Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus (pictured), who recently became the youngest player to ever cross the 2700 rating mark. Played as an eight-player round-robin, the long-running Swedish event once again combines established elite names with emerging contenders. | Photo: ChessBase / Nils Rohde
