The swede Eric Thörn is a board member of Stockholm’s Chess Society who organizes Hasselbacken Chess Open. And to the club’s joy Eric has already managed to get an IM norm right here at Hasselbacken after a very strong tournament.
And his best way to celebrate this is to play against GM Alexei Shirov in round 9 on Sunday in the room for top boards among the tournament’s strongest GMs. Eric’s rating is only 2204 so this will certainly be a memorable day for the club member of Stockholm’s Chess Society.
All the drama in round 8 has given an exciting leaderboard with ten players who shares the lead with 6.5/8.
Who will be the King of Hasselbacken on Sunday?
Pairings, 5 top boards, round 9 (all have 6.5 p):
1) GM Predojevic (2654)–GM Andreikin (2736)
2) GM Gujrathi (2648)–GM Almasi (2682)
3) GM Greenfeld (2541)–GM Smirin (2665)
4) GM Adhiban (2663)–GM Mikhalevski (2516)
5) GM van Foreest (2551)–GM Tkachiev (2660)
