As a result, it was billed as the strongest chess tournament in history by Altibox, its sponsor.[33] However, by the time the tournament was held two players had dropped out of the top ten (Karjakin and Giri; their replacements Mamedyarov and Ding Liren did not play).[34] It is also not the tournament with the highest-ever rating average; the 2014 Zurich Chess Challenge and the 2014 Sinquefield Cup had average ratings of 2801 and 2802, respectively.[35] Blitz tournament On 5 June 2017, a Blitz tournament was conducted to determine the pairings in the tournament. The top 5 finishers in the blitz tournament earned an extra white game in the tournament. Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Levon Aronian, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Vladimir Kramnik finished in the top 5 and earned their extra white game. 5th Altibox Norway Chess Blitz, 5 June 2017, Stavanger, Norway[36] Player | Blitz rating | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Points | SB | TPR | 1 | {{flagathlete|Magnus Carlsen|Norway}} | 2914 | {{CNone}} | ½ | 1 | 1 | ½ | 1 | ½ | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7½ | 3066 | 2 | {{flagathlete|Hikaru Nakamura|United States}} | 2865 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | ½ | 0 | ½ | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5½ | 2879 | 3 | {{flagathlete|Levon Aronian|Armenia}} | 2753 | 0 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | 1 | ½ | 1 | ½ | 1 | 5½ | 2878 | 4 | {{flagathlete|Maxime Vachier-Lagrave|France}} | 2825 | 0 | ½ | ½ | {{CNone}} | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 2840 | 5 | {{flagathlete|Vladimir Kramnik|Russia}} | 2744 | ½ | ½ | ½ | 0 | {{CNone}} | 1 | 1 | ½ | 0 | ½ | 4½ | 20.50 | 2796 | 6 | {{flagathlete|Sergey Karjakin|Russia}} | 2791 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | {{CNone}} | ½ | 0 | 1 | 1 | 4½ | 17.00 | 2799 | 7 | {{flagathlete|Viswanathan Anand|India}} | 2766 | ½ | ½ | ½ | 0 | 0 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | 1 | ½ | 4 | 17.25 | 2755 | 8 | {{flagathlete|Wesley So|United States}} | 2791 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ½ | 1 | ½ | {{CNone}} | 1 | 1 | 4 | 13.25 | 2753 | 9 | {{flagathlete|Fabiano Caruana|United States}} | 2800 | 0 | 0 | ½ | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | {{CNone}} | ½ | 3 | 2606 | 10 | {{flagathlete|Anish Giri|Netherlands}} | 2776 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ½ | 0 | ½ | 0 | ½ | {{CNone}} | 1½ | 2527 | Classical tournament 5th Altibox Norway Chess, 6–17 June 2017, Stavanger, Norway, Category XXII (2797)[37] Player | Rating | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Points | SB | TPR | 1 | {{flagathlete|Levon Aronian|Armenia}} | 2793 | ½ | 1 | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | 1 | 1 | 6 | 2918 | 2 | {{flagathlete|Hikaru Nakamura|United States}} | 2785 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | 0 | ½ | 1 | 1 | ½ | ½ | ½ | 5 | 22.00 | 2837 | 3 | {{flagathlete|Vladimir Kramnik|Russia}} | 2808 | 0 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | ½ | 5 | 21.25 | 2834 | 4 | {{flagathlete|Fabiano Caruana|United States}} | 2808 | ½ | 1 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | ½ | 0 | ½ | ½ | 4½ | 20.75 | 2796 | 5 | {{flagathlete|Wesley So|United States}} | 2812 | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | 4½ | 20.25 | 2796 | 6 | {{flagathlete|Anish Giri|Netherlands}} | 2771 | ½ | 0 | 0 | ½ | ½ | {{CNone}} | 1 | 1 | ½ | ½ | 4½ | 19.25 | 2800 | 7 | {{flagathlete|Maxime Vachier-Lagrave|France}} | 2796 | ½ | 0 | 1 | ½ | ½ | 0 | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | ½ | 4 | 18.25 | 2759 | 8 | {{flagathlete|Viswanathan Anand|India}} | 2786 | ½ | ½ | 0 | 1 | ½ | 0 | ½ | {{CNone}} | ½ | ½ | 4 | 18.00 | 2760 | 9 | {{flagathlete|Magnus Carlsen|Norway}} | 2832 | 0 | ½ | 0 | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | {{CNone}} | 1 | 4 | 16.75 | 2755 | 10 | {{flagathlete|Sergey Karjakin|Russia}} | 2781 | 0 | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | ½ | 0 | {{CNone}} | 3½ | 2721 | 2018 Blitz tournamentThe blitz tournament was played on 27 May 2018.
