HANS RUDOLF JUNG
(born Jun-16-1958, 66 years old) Canada

[what is this?]

Hans Jung tied for share of 1st-2nd with 5½/7 (2nd on tie-breaks) with David H Cummings at the inaugural 2014 (age 50-65 section) of the Canadian senior's championship). His degree is from the University of Western Ontario.

In 2008, he tied for 1st-3rd with Paul Becker and Daniel Raats in the Twin Cities Championship of Kitchener-Waterloo and again won it in 2010. A Canadian National Master and FIDE Master, he scored 7/9, tying 1st-2nd in the 2003 Guelph Pro-Am Futurity and 1st-3rd in the 1996 Hart House Open at the U of Toronto. He won the Ontario Closed in 1996.

He held a position of chess co-ordinator with the city of Kitchener between 2002 through 2017. As well, User: hansj was editor of Chess Canada, December, 2003 - June, 2005.

  GrahamClayton: After his 26 board exhibition, Jung arranged a 30-board display at a shopping mall in London, Ontario. Two hours after that exhibition began, a punk rock band began blasting out music for a CD promotion release at a nearby record store. Since very noisy surroundings make blindfold displays almost impossible to give, for the exhibitor as well as the players, it had to be stopped. Jung never again had the chance to surpass his 26-board performance and to exceed Williams’s 27 game record.

  hansj: I am the only one in Canada that teaches blindfold chess. Currently I have two keen students. One who has learned to play a complete game of blindfold chess just before turning 70 and a 14 yr old with whom I practice multiple games of blindfold simultaneously (both blindfold). I enjoy that very much!

  perfidious: <hansj> On another note: do you have any of your scores from the Toronto International 1984 to hand, including the game we played in that event, though our game was likely not the most pleasant of memories for you?
Feb-21-21  Talorder: Hans I know you played the magician from Riga Mikhail Tal. Why didn't you try to rip his head off tactically and possibly end up famous like William Napier ??? Didn't you know he had been tutored in positional play by Karpov and you had little chance in that type of game ??? I personally would prefer a fighting loss to a draw to someone like him anyway !!!
Feb-28-21  Talorder: Hans, there is a new type of chess played on a 10×10 board - the new piece can move like a queen but only 1 or 2 squares, and the knight can move 1 or 2 squares orthogonally then 1 square diagonally in the same direction. Both of these pieces, from the center of the board, control 16 squares.
