We are most happy to announce that the new Canadian Champion and pride of Québec has confirmed his intention to play in the Montreal Open Championship 2009.
Mr. Hébert has an impressive chess career. International Master, Grandmaster in correspondence play, Junior champion of Québec (1972 to 1974) and Canada (1975), Canadian Champion (1978, 2009), seven times member of the Canadian olympic team, past chronicler at La Presse newspaper, trainer emeritus, chess writer and author of a weekly chess e-letter HPE, what a model for dedication and achievement.
Here is one of your last opportunities to play him while he is an International Master, for Championnat de Montréal reveals that he plans to become a Grandmaster (Jean we are all behind you !).
He will be joined by two competitors from Ontario who played in the recent Canada Championship at Guelph, as IM Nikolay Noritsyn and National master Alexander Martchenko have just confirmed that they will play, too.
Nikolay Noritsyn, from Richmond Hill is a twelfth grade student. International master, Canadian Champion U-12 (2003), the youngest ever Canadian Champion at 16 (2007), Canadian Chess Player of the Year 2007.
Alexander Martchenko, from Etobicoke, is going into grade 11. He is two time Ontario Youth Chess Champion U 16 (2008, 2009) and placed 2nd in CYCC U16 last month in Victoria.
Nikolay and Alexander are good friends.
