ALEXANDER IPATOV
(born Jul-16-1993) Ukraine (citizen of Turkey)

[what is this?]
Grandmaster (2011) and World Junior champion 2012. Born and raised in Ukraine, Ipatov moved to Spain before settling in Turkey.

Ipatov's first GM norm was awarded for scoring 5.5/9 in the powerful Moscow Open 2010. His second was acquired from his result at the 27th Cappelle-la-Grande (2011), when he came second with 7/9 (+6 -1 =2) behind GM Grzegorz Gajewski. His 3rd norm followed for his results at the 2011 Nakhchivan Open when he placed =2nd behind Anton Korobov and alongside Zoltan Almasi, Francisco Vallejo-Pons and Ivan Sokolov.

Most recently, he won the World Junior Championship (2012) with 10/13 on the basis of a better tiebreak (sum of opponent's ratings less the lowest) ahead of Hungary's Richard Rapport.

IPATOV, Alexander

_

Apr-24-10  sulotas: This guy is one of the commentators in the chessbomb.com website for Anand-Topalov match and in the first game today I couldn't stand his comments as he is so much biased in favor of Topalov and he mentioned how Topalov's preparation was so deep in every second during the game (even before Anand's blunder before the knight sacrifice). And I find it very odd that his rating was more than 2500 once upon a time but now it is only 2056.
Apr-25-10  Wrong: <solutas> his 2056 rating must be a lie

http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...

Apr-25-10  Wrong: on his fide profile ,he was born in 1993,how come had a game in 1993 weird... maybe he learned to play chess when he was 1 year old.
Apr-25-10  sulotas: <Wrong> Either this is the wrong Ipatov entry that I am commenting under, or that 1993 game is wrong (maybe a different Ipatov's game). There is thirteen years gap between that game and the one in 2006 as chessgames.com shows. I guess there is something wrong with the info here; I can't imagine an IM (Yes! That biased guy is an IM!) with a FIDE rating 2056.

  PhilFeeley: There's definitely an error in his rating here. He's currently playing in Andorra (http://www.escacsandorra.com/) and he's listed with a rating of 2507. He's tied with many others for 2nd with a performance rating of 2530.

  whiteshark: The new World Junior Champion is 19 years old. He received his chess education in Ukraine, where he took up chess at age four under the guidance of his father.

In 2003 Ipatov was the runner-up at the U10 Ukrainian Championship, and he was again 2nd in 2007 at the U14 Championship. A year later the 14-year-old Alexander had another two silver medals – in the Ukrainian U16 and U20 Championships!

In 2009 he moved with his family to Spain, where he rapidly became the country’s strongest youngster and played under its flag. In February 2012 Alexander Ipatov moved again to represent Turkey.

  HeMateMe: A product of Ukrainian chess, he has won the world junior championship, while representing Turkey. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. I assume that Turkey has given him some nice financial compensation to be their top guy, probably board No. 1 in Olympiad play, down the road?
