The Montreal Open Chess Championship was held last weekend. The turnout was much lower than expected (153 players), but was still reasonable. GM Sambuev completely dominated the tournament, finishing with 5/5.

This past weekend's Labour Day events are over, but without available games, I have had to choose a game from this summer's Quebec Open Invitational section. But fear not, I found some real excitement in the following grandmaster game. Take a look!
A. Todd (1723) – K. Chung (2286), Canadian University Chess Championship 2013
Three Canadian players are in Spain for this major tournament :
GM Spraggett (4.5/7 ; perf 2324)
GM Eric Hansen (5.5/7 ; perf 2569)
IM Hambleton (5.5/7 ; perf 2370)
M. Pang (1829) – A. Green (2010), Abe Yanofsky Memorial 2011
White’s previous move, 1. exd5, was a mistake—with the simple 1. Be2, he could have kept a large advantage against Black’s forlorn king. What must Black do to seize a decisive advantage?
