Do you have important general advice for over-the-board time management? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Why don't you want to get a real job?

This, of course, is the reason that he stopped answering questions and why serious high-rated chess players don't post.

GM HANSEN How do you cope with success and defeat? For some professional sportmen and sportwomen is sometimes hard to deal with one or both concepts, so how do you learn to deal with both situations?

Lol at the handle of the IM that wrote that blog. I imagine most people dont catch the trenbolone(anabolic steroid) innuendo.

  • GM Eric Hansen, given that the International Olympic Committee recognizes chess as a sport, and supposing that Chess is a trial sport in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, would you rather represent Canada or be a commentator for NBC?

Hi Eric, it is absolutely cool to see a GM chatting with us!

I am usually playing Daily Chess here. Do you think that correspondence chess can help a player,to improve the game?

I am often using an analysis board (no engines, of course) instead of calculating everything, and this is certainly not helping me a lot to improve my visualisation. But when playing Daily Chess I have the impression that I spend more time to find a good continuation. And I think it is a great way to learn a new repertoire, as I can consult an opening book.
