IVAN CHEPARINOV
(born Nov-26-1986) Bulgaria

[what is this?]
Ivan Cheparinov was born November 26, 1986 in Asenovgrad, Bulgaria. He learned to play chess at age five, and progressed quickly enough to win the junior championship of Bulgaria as early as 2000. He then took the "overall" Bulgarian championship in 2004, the same year he became a grandmaster.

Since then, Cheparinov has continued improving, and in January 2007 the FIDE rating list placed him 69th in the world. His tournament successes include joint second at Pamplona 2005 and clear first at the 2006 Essent Open. He took part in the FIDE World Cup (2005), eliminating Alexei Fedorov and Vassily Ivanchuk before losing his third-round match with Magnus Carlsen in quick-play tie-break. He advanced to the quarterfinals in the 2007 World Cup, winning against Wang Yue and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, among others, before again being knocked out by Carlsen. Nonetheless, his accomplishments raised his rating enough to qualify him as a participant in the inaugural FIDE Grand Prix series.

Cheparinov is also well-known for his role as a second to Veselin Topalov. He is credited with finding several of the opening novelties unleashed by his countryman during the past few years, for example the move 12. Nxf7 in Topalov vs Kramnik, 2008.

  Billy Vaughan: 4th at M-tel. Did anybody notice that he did exactly the same in both round robins?

Lost to Ivanchuk both times
Lost to Topalov both times
Tied Radjabov both times
Tied Aronian both times
Beat Bu both times

May-19-08   diabloprancer: <Billy Vaughan: Cheparinov's voice is really high> Yeah, that surprised me when I saw the video. That combined with the petty Nigel Short incident makes Cheparinov seem a rather girly whiner.

May-19-08   Rubion: Actually Topalov's voice is fairly high pitched and whiny as well. You don't think Dainalov might of .... no surely not.

  Open Defence: well they could always join the boys choir if so....

  Billy Vaughan: Maybe it's a Bulgarian thing? You know how people from different regions speak differently.....like, even besides accents, a Briton generally speaks at a higher pitch than an American. Perhaps in Bulgaria they talk really high!

Though Chepa's voice is still unusual......his voice is around middle C; most girls I know talk lower :p

i donno.

May-21-08   MichAdams: It's all to do with hormones in the womb or something. Chepa should take a shot of HGH.

  Billy Vaughan: <sallom89> That HAS to be Topalov's chessgames picture ;)
May-21-08   sallom89: <Billy Vaughan> why not? it looks awesome!

NOT, lol.

i wanted it to be my avatar a while ago though.

May-22-08   wallytherhino: If you look at his profile picture it becomes a perfect endorsement for Coca-Cola.
May-22-08   WarrenHam: Cheparinov's voice is unnaturally high, Topolav's just high. Bulgarian Ari Leschnikoff was known to sing high f without falsetto. Cheparinov has a male alto voice. I know a researcher Toufik M., whose voice is even more extreme. Would be interesting to hear a doctor's explanation.

Damn, I have trouble with F the octave down! It would be fascinating if Chepa got vocal training; with his high notes and airy tone, he really would sound a lot like a girl or young kid.

May-22-08   Augalv: When I listened Cheparinov por the first time I was kind of shocked.
Aug-11-08   Shadarshin: <Billy Vaughan: Maybe it's a Bulgarian thing?>

NO. I don't think they sound as bad in Bulgarian, maybe it's the way they learn and speak English. But definetely not all Bulgarians are like that; some have very deep voices.

Aug-11-08   m00natic: <<Shadarshin> some have very deep voices> yeah, for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jhI...

Alan Partridge: "One more thing, are you a boy or a girl?" Cheparinov: "I'm a boy!"
Alan Partridge - "Really?"
Cheparinov: "My name is Ivan!"
Alan Partridge - "It could be Ivanna! Well you sound like a girl!" Cheparinov- "I'm a boy and my name is Ivan!"

May-03-09   WhiteRook48: that's dumb!
I only know this guy from his forfeit for refusing to shake hands with Short.
Jun-23-09   smaragdus: Cheparinov won Magistral Ruy López in Zafra, Spain, ahead of Adams, Caruana, etc, being the only unbeaten player. Here there is the final standings-

  percyblakeney: Cheparinov has dropped quite a bit on the rating lists lately. In January 2008 he was in the top 20, ahead of Grischuk. Now he's down to 75th with the same Elo as Beliavsky.
Mar-02-10   tud: He works hard behind the curtains. Isn't it mister Topalov ?
Jun-20-10   smaragdus: Cheparinov won IV Ruy Lopez Magistral with +5, =2, -0, a point and a half in front Caruana and Malakhov.
