Alexander Moiseenko, Polanica-Zdrój 2008
Simen Agdestein at the Arctic Chess Challenge 2008
No longer is Loek van Wely(2639) our top seed. He has now been outranked by 29 rating points by GM Alexander Moiseenko, winner of Arctic Chess Challenge 2007, and now rated 2668. We look forward to seeing him at the top boards at Scandic again!
We also welcome back our famous Norwegian GM Simen Agdestein, the pre-Carlsen-era undisputed Norwegian number 1 for many years and nowadays earning his living as teacher of the chess class at the Norwegian College of Elite Sports.
