REFINE SEARCH: White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2) | Areshchenko wins | Areshchenko loses

Dec-28-04		Pawsome: Watch this fellow rise to the top! He's presently leading the A group of the Harmonie Tournament in Grongen (Dec 27, 2004) where he'd leading by one and a half points with no losses, only one draw and two rounds to go. his games are have a fluid logic reminiscent of young Karpov and Capablanca before that.

Dec-28-04		Pawsome: By the way, the site referred to above is http://www.so-on.org/kerst2004/2004..., if you catch it in time.

Apr-28-05		Mameluk: Areschenko just beaten Rublevsky and is leading 2nd board in the Russian league(Bareev, Dreev, Bologan, Rublevsky, Sutovsky...) while his teammate Alekseev is leading the 1st board with Svidler and Efimenko not too bad on the 3rd. Kids!

Aug-25-05		tamar: The Ukrainian Championship is a knock-out event this year. Areshchenko in the absence of Volokitin, Ivanchuk and Karjakin, is my pick to win. He plays very interesting games.

Sep-01-05		tamar: Areshchenko is currently Ukraine's #9 in FIDE ratings, although he has been on a tear lately. His first round game in the finals against Efimenko, #6 brings him within one game of the title.

Sep-01-05		iron maiden: Efimenko's won every one of his white games so far, so it's definitely too early for Areshchenko to relax.

Sep-06-05		tamar: The report on the the championship is up http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Jan-06-06		BIDMONFA: Alexander Areshchenko ARESHCHENKO, Alexander http://www.bidmonfa.com/areshchenko... _

Jun-15-10		wordfunph: i read somewhere that he is called "The Monster"..

Jun-15-11		waustad: That is one of the worst pictures I've seen of a player. Is he really that morose?

Aug-08-12		twinlark: GM Areshchenko had done well to come 3rd in the Ukrainian Championship. Interesting to see only one page of kibitzing of a player who has breached the 2700 mark!

Aug-08-12		Eyal: <GM Areshchenko had done well to come 3rd in the Ukrainian Championship.> He's done even better, to come 2nd (edged Volokitin on tiebreak - http://ukrchess.org.ua/turnir/ukr20...).

Aug-08-12		twinlark: Thanks <Eyal>. I've corrected the bio. I missed that on the crosstable here, his score is not complete.

Sep-07-12		rapidcitychess: I have never heard of this guy. It'd be nice to see him at Corus perhaps. Or is that Tata Steel? Or does it even exist anymore? Dang, never mind... Just some super-tournament. Wonder how he would measure up.
