Brian Hartman will compete in this month’s Canadian Seniors Championship in Halifax
After a successful career in business and consulting, Brian Hartman has one major piece of unfinished business: becoming a chess grandmaster.
“It’s the ultimate prize, really,” says the 65-year-old Parry Sound resident. “But it’s an achievement that’s very difficult to get.” Growing up in Hamilton, Hartman was inspired by Paul Vaitonis, who was a champion of both Lithuania and Canada. That inspiration led him to a spot on Canada’s Olympiad team and eventually an international master title.
