Hebert wins his last round game, and also wins the closed, if I read the score correctly. Congratulations.

Re: Canadian Closed - Hebert wins
Yes indeed, congratulations to Jean Hébert! That last round game was a lot of fun to watch.
Winning the championship again after such a span is a tremendous achievement. I am really happy for him. -
Congratulations to International Master Jean Hebert Re: Canadian Closed - Hebert wins
Congratulations to International Master Jean Hebert -- the new 2009 Canadian Closed Champion!
As IA Hal Bond is quoted on the Monroi website...."IM Jean Hebert was the top rated player in Canada when I joined the Chess Federation of Canada in 1980. 29 years later Jean is still a dangerous opponent. In 2007 some of you may remember his 16 game blitz playoff with Noritsyn."
Well done Jean --- you came back 2 years later and topped them all!
Best Regards,
Mark S. Dutton, I.A.Comment

Congrats to Jean Hebert on a fine win which was certainly unexpected. I still remember losing to him in North Bay way back in 99!Comment

Re: Canadian Closed - Hebert wins
Will anyone be posting the final standings? Also, the playoff is not being broadcasted?Comment

Re: Canadian Closed - Hebert wins
We tried, but the monroi hub went and died on us again... but they are being recorded by an Arbiter so we'll have the PGNs.
First game drew, so they're in the sudden death 2nd game now... if it's also a draw, we'll go to Blitz games. (5+3)Christopher Mallon

Re : Canadian Closed - Hebert wins
Are they playing for a IM norm or a IM title? Louie Jiang doesn't have his national master title, so having his IM title would be impressing...We're just having a playoff match right now between Tayar and Jiang for the IM title.

Title.
If he doesn't get the title, Jiang did perform well enough to earn an IM norm, and he WOULD get the FM title.Christopher Mallon
