I was very pleased to visit my good friend Corinna last Sunday, April 28th to assist with the weekly tournament and then provide a 30-board simul to the children afterwards. It’s always refreshing to see the enthusiasm that the players at Oriole have – the kind of enthusiasm that led to some very tough games in my simul! Congratulations to Edward Li, the last surviving player, and a big thank you to parents and players for coming out to support me.
It’s amazing to see most of the simul participants from 2012 were here again in 2013. Last year I did my simul as an FM, this year an IM, so I hope to keep that good luck streak going and return to Oriole and give my GM simul in 2014! Thanks to all your support we were able to fundraise 800$ towards my trip to Bolivia. Here I will represent Canada as I compete to qualify for the World Cup of Chess. The tournament takes place May 7-15th, so stay tuned for the results.
Corinna, thank you so much for your continued support towards my chess career, and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did!
IM Aman Hambleton
IM Aman Hambleton came to Oriole today! He gave a 30 board Simultaneous Exhibition. Aman won all 30 boards in 2 hours 15 minutes.
Aman at the Simul
Last survivor
Everyone went home with this.
We were happy to present a cheque of $800 to Aman at the end of the Simul, to help cover his tournament expenses coming up when he goes to Bolivia for the Americas Continental Championship.
Presenting the cheque
We wish him all the best in the Americas Continental Championship at Bolivia. Looking forward for his third Simul at Oriole when he becomes a GM!! (He was an FM when he came last June.)
Thank you for all those who support Aman and this event!
Fundraising details:
IM Aman Hambleton is coming to Oriole again. Here is a link to the Simul given by Aman at Oriole last June.
Aman’s performance then became the focus of the whole Canadian chess community. Within the past few months, he has a dramatic improvement. He was awarded the IM (International Master) title and he has won 5 IM and 1 GM (Grand Master) norms. He has a rocketing jump FIDE rating from 2226 to 2472.
We are proud to present another simul exhibition given by IM Aman Hambleton on April 28, 2013. Read the rest of this entry »
