Jonny Hector<\/strong> is a new Swedish champion. The 58-year-old native of Malmo claimed his second national title, twenty years after his first triumph back in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swedish Chess Championship 2022 took place in Uppsala from July 1-10 and was played in several different classes – from a beginner’s tournament to the battle for the Swedish Championship gold in the Swedish Champion class, a round-robin with classical time control, featuring several Sweden’s best chess players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hector grabbed the lead in the middle of tournament distance after stringing together three victories and was coming into the final round a full point ahead of Jung Min Seo<\/strong> and the defending champion Tiger Hillarp Persson<\/strong> with an excellent score of 6\u00bd\/8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final round, the leader fell to GM\u00a0Jonathan Westerberg<\/strong>\u00a0with white pieces after his opponent made a brilliant breakthrough in the center and gave one of his rivals\u00a0 (they faced each other) a chance to catch up with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for Hector, Hillarp Person and Seo drew their game and finished a half-point behind the new champion together with Westerberg. The tiebreaks favoured Jonathan Westerberg and Tiger Hillarp Persson, who took silver and bronze, respectively. Westerberg and Seo completed the event unbeaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
