MIKHAIL MARKOV (born 1989) Kyrgyzstan [what is this?] International Master (2013). (1) Markov came 2nd in the Zonal 3.4 held in Osh, Kyrgyzstan, and qualified to play in the World Cup (2013), where he met world #2 Levon Aronian in the first round, but lost both games. However, his qualification to the World Cup earned him his IM title. His rating at the time (June 2013) was 2255. (1) There are a couple of Russian players with the same name, but in the series of Olympiad games shown below, this player is from Kyrgyzstan.

Jun-17-13    jamesmaskell: Qualified for the World Cup 2013 after coming second in the FIDE Zone 3.4 Championship 2013 with 6.5/9. Quite a performance when you look at the field. Aug-20-13    Karpova: Prior to the start of the World Cup (2013), Anton Filippov gave an interview http://chess-news.ru/en/node/12740 and what he had to say was not nice: - Markov's play was suspiciously strong yet sometimes it appeared as if he had no clue. <I was honest and said that I had some doubts, but yet I wasn't sure if he is really cheating.> - Some Kyrgyz players deliberately lost their games against Markov's opponents to raise his Buchholz. <People demonstratively lose and say that they will do anything only to help their compatriot to qualify for the World Cup.>
