Jonny Hector |
Jonny Hector, 39, is a Swedish chess grandmaster, who
has lived in Denmark for more than 10 years after marrying a Danish
woman. He learned chess at the relatively late age of 14, but
quickly became a very strong player. He is an experienced,
aggressive, grandmaster with a classical opening repertoire and a fierce
attacking style, and is known for playing unusual chess openings.
He has won tournaments in eight nations: Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Germany, France, England, Spain, and Hungary, and he has played for
Sweden in four chess Olympiads. |
Jonny Hector is
currently ranked 185th in the world and has an Elo rating of 2570. He
has won a number of tournaments such as the Hellir Open (Reykjavik 1997),
Eikrem Memorial (Gausdal1998), Copenhagen Open (1998), Roskilde Open
(1998), Oxford GM-A (cat. XI, 1998), Hamburg Open (2000), Politiken Cup
2000, Solett Open (Skelleftea 2001), IHEM Hamburg (2001) and Swedish-ch
(cat. IX, Skara 2002).
Hector is
extremely popular in Denmark with his enterprising style of playing and his
firm belief that playing chess has to be fun! His aggressive style is
consistent with the Greek hero Hector from Homers epic tale The Iliad.
