Hambleton(CAN) gets IM title at UNAM Open Mexico

Nov 26

Posted by

Hambleton,Aman is Canada’s latest IM getting a norm and the title in the UNAM Open.

‘I made my last IM norm and also scored a GM norm, to finish undefeated with 7/9. Eric Hansen finished in typical style with 4/4 in his last 4 games to complete the comeback and also score 7/9. Despite a rough start he orchestrated his clutch finish like many tournaments previous and finished well. On tiebreaks I finished 3rd, and I’m very pleased with my tournament. The game against Dobrov was the only one I deserved to lose, in round 8, so it was a nice save. I played GMs the last 5 games!-Hambleton from Chesstalk Message Board

Be Careful Until the End!

Oct 19

Here is an example on the theme of being careful until the end of a game. One careless slip can be the end.

Black had a crushing position and played

20…Qd5??

White to play

Here’s the game from a rising Canadian star.
