Eric Hansen Career
Hansen began playing chess in grade school at age nine. By 15, he became the youngest ever Alberta champion[5] and earned the title FIDE Master (FM). He became Alberta champion again in 2009, 2011, and 2013.
In 2011, Hansen tied for first place in the Canadian Closed Championship with a score of 7½/9 points but lost a two-game playoff to Bator Sambuev, who was declared champion. Nevertheless, Hansen was nominated to play in the FIDE World Cup 2011. In that event, Hansen played Vugar Gashimov, losing both games. In a September 4, 2012, video interview at the Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, Hansen reflected on his 2011 World Cup experience: “I got paired against Gashimov and he killed me. It was a good experience because I realized I wasn’t serious enough to be competing with these guys. I’m more serious now … it was good for motivating me.”
Hansen won the Canadian Open Chess Championship in Victoria, British Columbia, in July 2012. The next month, he tied for 5th–10th places in the World Junior Chess Championship in Athens, Greece, scoring 9/13 points, the best-ever finish by a Canadian in this event; the previous best had been Vinny Puri’s tie for 8th place in 1988. At the Isthmia Open tournament at Vrachati a few days later, Hansen scored his first Grandmaster norm with a tie for 1st–3rd place.
Hansen achieved his final Grandmaster norm in the 40th Chess Olympiad, in Istanbul, Turkey, in August–September 2012,[12] where he made his debut on the Canadian national team. He played on board four and scored 7½/10 points, boosting his FIDE rating by 25 points, reaching 2500 (the minimum for the GM title). Hansen is the second-youngest Canadian to attain the title of Grandmaster, after Mark Bluvshtein, who did so at age 16 in 2004, and the youngest homegrown Canadian (because Bluvshtein received Israeli youth chess training systems before immigrating to Canada in 1999 at age 11). FIDE awarded him the title in January 2013.
Hansen tied for 1st–5th places at the October 2012 American Continental Championship in Mar del Plata, Argentina, with Julio Granda Zuñiga, Alexander Shabalov, Diego Flores, and Gregory Kaidanov. Since there were four qualifying places for the 2013 World Cup, Hansen played a rapid-play playoff with the other four, finishing fourth. In December, he won the 2nd Panama Open, scoring 8½/9.
In early 2013, Hansen tied for first place at the Cappelle-la-Grande Open in France. In July he shared first place in the Canadian Open in Ottawa with Nigel Short, with both scoring 7½/9.
In the 2015 Canadian Zonal Championship, Hansen shared first place with Leonid Gerzhoy and Tomas Krnan, who was declared the winner on tiebreak.
