Good luck to all Canadian players!

[Christopher Mallon]

Good luck and happy norm hunting!

[Fred McKim]

A great top 10 line-up.

I like Eric, who's been playing really great for the past couple of years, for a GM norm !!

and at least one IM norm from the other worthy reps !

Eric went on to win - his opponent more or less blundered on move 33 (33. ... Qe6) - that move was classified as "weak move" by the automatic computer assessment (Houdini?) that is shown on chessbomb/chessdom Until that move, the evaluation was 0.19 but that changed to 6.84 after Black's 33rd.

[Bob Armstrong]

Ter-Sahakyan, Samvil ( Armenia - 3rd ) 1/2 - 1/2 Rapport, Richard ( Hungary - tied 1st/2nd ) - at move 50.
Wei, Yi ( China - tied 4th-8th ) 1/2 - Ipatov, Alexander ( Turkey - tied 1st - 2nd ) -at move 41
