Just like previous years, GM Stellan Brynell will be one of the commentators during the 2024 Tepe Sigeman Chess Tournament, both live at the venue and live at the Internet (check under the Live Games heading on the starting page).

Besides being a very popular chess trainer and commentator, Malmo-based Stellan has frequently coached both the Swedish senior and junior national teams. He has won the Swedish championship twice (in 1991 and 2005), and is himself a 4-time participant in the Tepe Sigeman Chess Tournament.

French GM Laurent Fressinet will be our guest commentator during the tournament. Each round, he and GM Stellan Brynell will guide you through the games, both live at the Elite Plaza Hotel in Malmo, and live on the Internet (see the Live Games menu, once the tournament has started).

Laurent was himself a participant in 2014, when he won the Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament, scoring 3½ points in 5 rounds.

In connection with the death of our administrator Anders Hansen (RIP, friend), we lost control of our Instagram account (tepesigeman).

To preserve our Instagram presence, we have created a new Instagram account, called tepesigemanchess. We have restored all the old posts, but unfortunately, all comments and all messages have been lost.

Just like last year, the Tepe Sigeman Chess tournament will be played in the Elite hotel in central Malmo.

It is only a 700 m walk from the Malmo C station. The address is Gustav Adolfs Torg 49.
