May-14-14    Conrad93: What does the Sigeman & Co sell? May-14-14    offramp: They sell fine old vintage Cuban hand-rolled expensive high-class 24 hour mammoth cigars. Same as Dannemann. May-14-14    offramp: They also sell giblets. May-14-14    perfidious: <Third!> shows up first by my reckoning--either the powers that be have eliminated what went before, or...... May-14-14    whiteshark: 22nd! I always wanted to post this. May-14-14    waustad: Perhaps I'll be even more interested than usual, since I've been reading mysteries that take place in Malmö. My only personal experience was taking a train through there to København. They always have a mix of Swedish and foreign players. Besides, we get J L Hammer and Nils Grandelius in the same tournament. May-14-14    WannaBe: 30th!!! May-15-14    HSOL: I predict Hammer will win. <waustad> May I ask what mystery/ies you've read which takes place in Malmö? May-15-14    Check It Out: Please, no silliness. This is a serious chess site. May-16-14    Laskerschueler: What is Hammer doing??? May-16-14    Kanatahodets: Grandelis should resign; it is disrespect for old Ian: mate in 4 or give up rock for free. May-16-14    Kanatahodets: Hammer is hammered... May-16-14    Kanatahodets: Last! May-16-14    john barleycorn: <Kanatahodets: Hammer is hammered > Is Hammer not enjoying "remote coaching" from Carlsen in Norway? May-18-14    Everett: If you choose the right people to place on the ignore list, you can be first every time. May-18-14    perfidious: <Everett> Quite true. May-18-14    Everett: I'll take giblet-flavored cigars. May-19-14    Troller: Johan Sigeman is a lawyer. The company's website: http://www.sigeman.se/en The tournament is in fact long time running now: http://www.sigeman-chess.com/tidiga... Oct-06-16    diagonal: <The tournament is in fact long time running now>, unfortunately the edition of 2014 turned out to be the last one (and the corresponding tournament homepage is shot down already). Sigeman & Co. at Malmö always showed an interesting mix of established players and rising stars, of familiar faces and new ones, the best Scandinavian players faced the very best of the world: Smyslov, Spassky, Korchnoi, Portisch, Timman, Miles, Short, Lautier, Hellers, Andersson, Beliavsky, Gulko, Gelfand, Ivanchuk, Shirov, Sasikiran, Nakamura, So, Caruana, Giri, Leko, Rapport, Judit Polgar, Pia Cramling or prodigy Magnus Carlsen who played in 2004 at Malmö his first tournament as a grandmaster. I saved some data, stats and anecdotes - an overview of the Malmö Siegeman & Co. invitation tournament series (1993 - 2014): http://www.chessdiagonals.ch/402840... Quiz: Which player performed an amazing double winning at Sigeman & Co. in Malmö (<Invitation Tournament>, round robin), as clear first at his first and only entry, and at the traditional Politiken Cup in Copenhagen (<Open>, swiss system, today Xtracon Chess Open, played in Helsingor), as clear first <in the same year within one month>?
