Arctic Chess Challenge update

Update by Mr. Sven Wisløff Nilssen, a very well respected chess journalist in Norway:

Arctic Chess Challenge 2009 has now 14 GMs and 15 IMs and I will present all GMs here at my blog as part of the profiles for the tournament pages. We will even take a look at some of the IM’s and first out is IM Bjørn Tiller which plays all kind of interesting openings that often gives his games a certain flavour of originality. You can also read IM Torstein Bae’s two profiles of IM Ray Robson and IM Torbjørn Ringdal Hansen at the official Tromsø 2014 site.
