  • Congratulations GM Eric Hansen!!!

    In the next round all that Eric needs to do is play against an opponent rated 2490 or higher to achieve the GM title! Sweden's lowest rated player is 2503 so as long as Eric shows up tomorrow he will become a GM!

    Great job man!

      Fantastic! Congratulations Eric - great job.
      I am sure he will more than show up ...

        Excellent result. He might be the most aesthetic GM in the world now behind GM Sebastien Feller.

          Ok, I guess I should have pointed out that his opponent needs to show up as well:-)

            Feller has the cheating scandal which lowers his social value by at least 2 points. Eric Hansen is sufficiently ahead in the standings and is definitely the most aesthetic GM in the world as of this moment. I believe his female fan club may now exceed the previous capacity of 73 and break the century mark.

            Congratulations Eric Hansen, IMO Canada's strongest, most consistent player on the World stage. What a summer, complete with an immense 50+ point rating gain, 3 GM norms, 5th place at the World Junior, and 1st place at the Canadian Open. I can't wait to see his next tournament where he gets to flex the GM title for the first time! :D

              I hope we CREAM Sweden. I have a Swedish chess "friend" to whom I'd love to send greetings. Like I do when we beat Sweden in Hockey or Curling.

                Congratulations GM Eric Hansen! WOW! What a ROCKET RESULT! Like the Boss (Bruce Springsteen for those not in the know) maybe there'll be a song soon - the Summer of 2012 (summer of 69).
                PHENOMENAL!

                    ERIC IS ROCKING IT HERE !!!!!

                    I was on board 17 today, which physically was not all that far from Canada's board, but too far away to regularly visit. I knew we were ahead 2-1 with just Eric's game left, but at the same time, my last game had both players under 2 minutes for dozens of moves in a row. So, I did not get the chance to see Eric's game finish, but when I noticed they were getting up, I made eye contact, and Eric gave me a waist-high thumbs up, that just exuded success and confidence. Canadian chess should be proud and happy for him!

                      Congrats Eric! Never a doubt in my mind that you would get the title. And you did it with style.

                            An excellent interview which, I think, shows Eric's fine personality and class!
