GM Hansen,E(CAN) 2012-13 Coming Events

The Hansen watch has begun.

From Hansen,E on Chesstalk Message Board(CAN):
'I leave for Amsterdam on the 13th and will be living with a strong Dutch GM for a week. I may play a game in the Dutch League Div #1 but its yet to be confirmed. Groningen I hope to win this event and thus qualify for Tata Steel C. And then I will participate in a strong Swiss open(Basel) against top GM's. If I dont qualify for Wijk An Zee then expect to see me play in Gibraltar.'
