In 2012, Artiom won the winter ProAm in Guelph and Toronto championship. He won the Hart House Winter Holidays tournament in 2013 between January 4-6th, for sole 1st, ahead of Nikita Gusev and Bator Sambuev (who tied for share of 2nd-3rd) and others. An IM, Artiom won the 2008 Canadian Junior and was coach for the 2009 Canadian World Youth Chess Championship team. In 2007, he tied for 1st-3rd with Michael Dougherty and Jeff Willms in the top open group of the Kitchener Oktoberfest tournament and tied 1st-4th in the Canadian Closed. His debut in his first ever Chess Olympiad (2010) on the Canadian 4th board earned him 2 wins and 2 draws in 6 played games and in 2010, he tied for 1st-2nd with Bindi Cheng in the (open) blitz championship in Canada. The cities of Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Kitchener, Guelph and Ottawa are but a few of the weekend tournament titles that he has won in the GTCL, SWOCL and EOCA leagues.

  alexrawlings: Is this guy a GM?
Sep-14-09  felixd: No he's not, but he is actually a strong IM.

  alexrawlings: Thanks <felixd> ... it seems strange that his peak rating was 2612 yet he's not a GM. Maybe it's a mistake and that's not his actual peak rating.
