The CFC Regular Chess Post – May 25/11 – Calgary International.

The Calgary International Chess Classic was a 10-player round robin that took place from May 19 – 23. Alberta's strongest players met high caliber competition from around the world. In 2009 and 2010, Calgary's Eric Hansen performed very well and earned IM norms in both events. His norm in 2010 earned him the IM title. He played again this year. For the participants, see http://www.calgarychess.com/2011CICC/Players.html . The winner this year was GM Jesse Kraai ( USA ), on tie-break, over 2nd place IM Enrico Sevillano ( USA ). In 3/5, ½ pt. back, were Albertans, IM Eric Hansen, IM Edward Porper and FM Dale Haessel ( scoring his first IM norm, with 6/9. This marks the 3rd year in a row where someone has earned an IM norm at the Calgary International ).
