  • FM Dale Haessel at the Calgary International

    FM Dale Haessel just defeated Daniel Kazmaier and now has 5.5/8. He needs at least a draw in the last round against IM Enrico Sevillano. Enrico is ranked 2nd in the tournament and is GM strength. It will be a real nail biter for Dale and Alberta fans. The final round starts at 5 pm MT. Round 8 still has 3 games in progress. Watch the action live:

      ... and earns his first IM norm. Congratulations Dale!

      Dale finishes with 6/9 and IM Enrico Sevillano finishes with 6.5/9. The other games are still in progress.

      This marks the 3rd year in a row where someone has earned an IM norm at the Calgary International. Eric Hansen picked up the other 2.

          Yeah, congratulations, Dale! So often when I see these messages, there is the added implication that the performance was overdue, or that it was inevitable. Here there is the pleasure of congratulating a player for a truly exceptional performance. I hope that you are able to do it again, and again, and get the title, but come what may, this was great.
