Jun-09-11 | | Maatalkko: He's got a Finnish name. |
|
Jun-09-11 | | paavoh: @maatalkko: Tikkanen is quite common surname in Finland, there is a CC-GM Kari Tikkanen also in the CG database. Many other surnames ending -nen originate from the Eastern part of the country although they can be found elsewhere too. For instance, the Swedish national soccer teams has a forward Ola Toivonen, whose father was born in Finland. |

 | | Penguincw: < "Sweden’s Hans Tikkanen was rewarded with the 100-euro daily prize in Group C for his fine win with white in 30 moves from a Slav Defense against India’s Sahaj Grover. The victory brought the Swede back alongside Russia’s Maxim Turov on top of the standings in this division of the tournament." > Congratz!

 | | Penguincw: Happy 27th birthday Hans Tikkanen. Too bad you were runner-up at Hans Tikkanen. But don't worry. You could get a chance in Group B next year, just like Illya Nyzhnyk did at Tata Steel (Group C) (2011). |

Feb-06-12 | | wordfunph: Trivia: Hans Tikkanen scored his three GM norms in just two months. happy birthday GM Tikkanen.. |
|
Jul-14-13 | | waustad: Congratulations on winning the Swedish Championship! He came ahead of Nils Grandelius tiegreaks after both scored 6.5/9. It looks to me like he may have won in a playoff, but my Swedish leaves a lot to be desired: http://www.sm2013.schack.se/ |
|
Jul-14-13 | | acirce: Indeed, he won in a playoff which went to Armageddon. Not the ideal way of deciding a national championship to say the least but yes. Tikkanen won for the third time in a row. |
|
Nov-08-13 | | waustad: His win today in his game against Eltaj Safarli gave Sweden a 2-2 tie with the higher rated Azeris in the ETCC. |

 | | HeMateMe: Was he ever paired with Jari Kurri? |
|
Jul-07-20
 | | perfidious: <HMM>, Kurri usually was centred by Gretzky and had Messier on the left side. Tikkanen was one of those players whom you loved when he wore your jersey and otherwise loathed. |
|
Feb-06-22 | | Nosnibor: His greatest rival Berg holds a +1 score against him per the database. However, Happy Birthday Hans. |
