Michale Kleinman achieved his first title as the 2010 Ontario Closed chess champion. He scored 4 wins, 2 draws and a bye in the first round. With this result, he joins the group of young players from Ontario who have real chances to become GMs ? in the future (Noritsyn, Samsonkin, Sapozhnikov, Calugar, Yuanling, Gusev).
This tournament was known as the Canadian Amateur Open section last year and won by Roman Sapozhnikov with 5.5/7. Unfortunately, Sapozhnikov decided to participate in the 2010 Quebec Open, together with Calugar. These 2 young players could have added more challenge to MK had they played.
Congratulation to Kleinman and wish him more success in the coming tournaments !!
