| May-04-06 | | Whitehat1963: Hilarious that this guy's rating is higher than Spassky's and Tal's ever were! |
 |
| May-05-06 | | Karpova: This would not be hilarious. Only someone who never heard of Beliavsky would think that way. I doubt that Beliavsky ever achieved a rating of 2710. The ratings were generally lower than today at the time of his peak. |

 | | acirce: Beliavsky was 2710 on the July 1997 list according to http://www.chessbase.com/newsprint...., http://www.chess.gr/eso/elo/2_97int..., http://members.fortunecity.com/njur... |
|
| May-05-06 | | Karpova: thank you very much, <acirce>!
Quite interesting to see that Beliavsky actually made it. |
|
| May-05-06 | | Whitehat1963: <Karpova>, my comment wasn't intended to take anything away from Beliavsky, who is obviously an excellent player, but rather to point out that rating inflation is out of control. Was Tal ever rated above 2700? Was he a better player than some who are currently rated above 2700? |
|
| May-05-06 | | Karpova: I found this post from <Maatalkko> on Jan Timman 's page:
<BTW Mihail Tal had one freak year in 1979 when he won two major tournaments that were FIDE rated. His rating went from 2610 to 2705, making him the third player ever to be over 2700 (after Fischer and Karpov). They only updated ratings once a year back then, so for all of 1980 he was over 2700. However, he bombed most of his tournaments that year, so he crashed from 2705 to 2550 at the end of the year, the largest drop in a single rating update that I know of.> |

| Apr-05-07 | | Deceptor: 53 years old and rated 2648. Could Beliavsky be new Korchnoi? |

 | | Ron: I am glad that <JointheArmy> posted this game. It seems that 18. Nxb5!! is to open the 'a' file. Note how the rook subsequently gobbles material. |
|
| May-16-08 | | zdigyigy: USSR Champ in 74' and again in 90'?? you gotta be kidding me. If you looked up the definition of what a chess grandmaster is, you might find the name and games of Alexander Beliavsky. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Belyavsky is one of only 3 players to have won 3 or more USSR Championships without becoming World Champion - Stein and Keres are the other two players to achive this unusual feat. |
|
Aug-28-08
| | GrahamClayton: Beliavksy has also represented 3 different countries in Chess Olympiads - USSR, Ukraine and Slovenia. |

| Feb-02-09 | | paavoh: A great start for Beliavsky in the Gibtelcom tournament with 5.5/6! |

| Mar-27-09 | | WhiteRook48: <notyetagm> quite a bit of an endgame study |

 | | diagonal: "Big Al", former World Junior Champion, World Championship Candidate and a four-time (shared) Soviet Champion, is now - after Anatoli Karpov (currently world's no. 140) dropped out - the oldest player in the Top 100 ELO-List (september 2009, it seems that FIDE is recalculating now every second month). Beliavsky (born 1953), is far from semi-retired as other players of this age and continues to work very hard as he always did with his legendary uncompromising chess - go ahead! <GrahamClayton: Beliavsky is one of only 3 players to have won 3 or more USSR Championships without becoming World Champion - Stein and Keres are the other two players to achive this unusual feat.> Korchnoi was a four-time (always unshared) USSR chess champion, reaching his best years maybe after defecting... |

| Dec-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: he's a totally awesome attacker! |
|
| Dec-17-09 | | SirChrislov: He's Russian and his name is Alexander?
no way!? Happy b-day to Mr. Beliavsky. |

 | | paulalbert: A good name. My son is named Alexander, but not after Belyavsky or Aljechin. I highly recommend Belyavsky's book "Uncompromising Chess". Resignation Trap has all the games in a game collection on Chessgames. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to meet him. I am not sure whether he has ever played in the U.S. Paul Albert |

 | | TheAlchemist: <SirChrislov> He was born in Lvov, Ukraine <paulalbert> I'm sure he has many times, he plays in a lot of tournaments, I remember he played in a big tournament in Minneapolis in 2005, where he was close to winning, but lost in the last round. |
