Check his game against Kevin Spragett! /JN 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. Jan-27-12    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! http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... Jan-28-12    RichPeverley: Hes doing really good now after having a bad end of 2011, after winning the Swedish championship. He lost like 60 elo points from a high of 2602 to about 2540!. Hopefully he is back on track. Feb-06-12    Penguincw: Happy 27th birthday Hans Tikkanen. Too bad you were runner-up at Hans Tikkanen. But don't worry.
