Jonny Hector (born 13 February 1964) is a Swedish chess player. In over-the-board chess, he received the FIDE title of Grandmaster (GM) in 1991. In correspondence chess, he earned the ICCF title of Grandmaster (GM) in 1999.[1]
Born in Malmö, Sweden, Hector has lived in Denmark for many years. He learned chess at the relatively late age of 14, but quickly became a very strong player. In 1987 he was equal first in the strong Cappelle-la-Grande open (with Anthony Kosten and Anatoly Vaisser).
In 2002, he won the Swedish championship at Skara.[2]
He has reached a tie in 1st place in the Politiken Cup in Copenhagen four times. In 2000, he tied with Boris Gulko and Lars Bo Hansen.[3] In 2006, he tied with Vadim Malakhatko and Nigel Short.[4] In 2008, he tied with Sergei Tiviakov, Vladimir Malakhov, Yuriy Kuzubov, Peter Heine Nielsen, and Boris Savchenko.[5] In 2012, he tied with Ivan Sokolov and Ivan Cheparinov.[6]
He has an aggressive attacking style, and is known for playing unusual chess openings, for example the Milner-Barry Gambit of the French Defense and the Charousek Variation of the Ruy Lopez, Classical Defense.
