The November issue of Chess Canada features two articles by young Canadian IMs succeeding abroad.


First is IM Tomas Krnan's win in this summer's International Championship of Slovakia. This event doubled as the Slovak National Championship, but since Tomas is not a Slovak citizen he didn't get to “keep” the title. He does however get to keep the GM norm he earned.


The second is from IM Aman Hambleton. As most of you probably know, Aman had an exceptionally productive 2011-13: he played dozens of events, raised his FIDE rating hundreds of points, and earned five IM norms. He's been so successful that he has turned pro and moved to Europe. In his article, Aman annotates four games from the part of that successful stretch: August to December 2012.


In addition to the two feature articles, the November CCN includes annotated games from:

    • Aurora Fall Open
    • Battle of Alberta
    • B.C. Championship
    • National Capital Open
    • KW Labour Day Open

 

The free CCN preview (below) includes the first game from Tomas' and Aman's articles.
