Hnefatafl gained a further boost in its homeland with promotion on Norway's premier chess web site, the Bergen chess club. The site now features coverage of the Berlin match between Silje Bjerke and Olaf Koppe, and the forthcoming tournament in Tromsø next year.

The information includes links to a number of different sites that cover the two events: the Neues Deutschland newspaper article, Aage Nielsen's hnefatafl site, and also to Hnefatafl: the Game of the Vikings too!

The chess club's web site is http://www.bergensjakk.no/bs-arkiv13d.htm (in Norwegian). Thanks to Rene Gralla for this information.
