He is an IM, and played 4th board at the 37th Chess Olympiad (2006), accumulating 3.5 points in 8 team games (1). Canada's 2015 champion also produced a score of 4 wins and a draw at the Chess Olympiad (2016) reserve board.

He tied for 1st-2nd with Yaaqov Vaingorten in the 2004 Toronto Closed. In 2011, he tied for 1st-3rd (scoring 5/6 without any losses) with Nikolay Noritsyn and Igor Divljan the Labour Day classic in Toronto and tied with Aman Hambleton for 1st-2nd (finishing with 4.5/6) in the same event after the following year. Also in 2012, he tied for 2nd-3rd with Bindi Cheng (behind Noritsyn) at the U of Toronto's Reading Week open (2). In 2013, he won the championship of Slovakia with 7.5/9 points (3, 4) and finished with 6.5/9 in the 2015 Canadian zonal (5), the latter result qualifying him to play in the World Cup (2015).

Jul-18-13  hellopolgar: Possible GM norm in the recent http://chessbase.com/Home/TabId/211...
Jul-31-15  PhilFeeley: Needs to be seriously updated. He won the recent Canadian Closed Championship, earning a berth in the World Cup:

http://chess-results.com/tnr180665....

His Canadian rating, 2557, should be good enough for a GM norm, but I don't know whether he's earned enough of them.

  Penguincw: Tomas Krnan enters the 2015 World Cup as the 121st seed at 2436. He will face 8th seed Ding Liren (2770) in the first round. Good luck!

  Penguincw: Tomas Krnan lost Game 1 with white, and drew Game 2 in just 18 moves. I think Krnan should be happy coming away with the draw, even though Ding Liren just needed one to advance. Win-win situation!

Still, losing 0.5-1.5 looks better than losing 0-2 on paper.

Sep-12-15  fisayo123: A pretty spineless decision, though I can sort of understand it.
