The 41st annual World Open will take place from June 29th to July 7th, in Arlington VA (a few miles from Washington DC).

E. Hansen (2588) – V. Pechenkin (2428), Alberta Closed 2013
This week, we will be looking at a game from the 2013 Alberta Open. One of Canada’s strongest players, GM Eric Hansen, has White in the above tactical position.

Good evening chess fans. This week's game was played at the March of Kings, a yearly tradition at the Calgary Chess Club. Black's opening goes wrong in the following game, and white exploits his troubles with some neat moves. Have a look.
