Dec-26-04    Benzol: Alexander Mikhailovich Chernin Born 6th February 1960 An IM in 1980 and a GM in 1985. He was European junior champion in 1979-80 and USSR Champion in 1985. Oct-19-05    lopium: Already stopped to play. Feb-19-06    BIDMONFA: Alexander Chernin CHERNIN, Alexander M. http://www.bidmonfa.com/chernin_ale... _ Feb-19-06    WTHarvey: Here are some puzzles from Alexander's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/cher.html Aug-24-06    clampolo: I love the pirc and noone plays it better than Chernin. His book, Pirc Alert, is my favorite book on any opening. Hopefully he writes more. Mar-06-07    Atking: <clampolo: I love the pirc and noone plays it better than Chernin. His book, Pirc Alert, is my favorite book on any opening. Hopefully he writes more.> A very clever way to explain an opening. I like this book too. <lopium: Already stopped to play.> He still play semi rapid tournament as Corsica with good results. As chess trainer he is really wonderfull. Jul-26-08    bravado1: I always thought he's Hungarian. Takes one to know one. Mar-06-10    wordfunph: 1990 U.S. Championship in Jacksonville: GM Alexander Chernin came to Jacksonville to give a well-paid but very poorly attended simul. Somehow, his six or seven opponents stressed him so much that he decided to sit out the U.S. Open. happy birthday GM Chernin! Mar-06-13    JPi: Good points Atkin! Aug-06-14    Refused: Was he the one coaching both Caruana and Giri? Aug-14-14    docbenway: Caruana praised him highly in his quick chat with Daniel King while at the Tromso Olympics. These interviews are great, especially Melanie Ohme, what a doll! Mar-06-16    TheFocus: Happy birthday, Alexander Chernin. Mar-06-16    eternaloptimist: Happy birthday to GM Chernin! Mar-06-16    Zaiyetz: A bit unlucky about the number of games in the database... Mar-06-16    gars: Happy Birthday, Grandmaster Chernin! And let's not forget that March 9 is Bobby Fischer's Day! Feb-19-17    thegoodanarchist: < clampolo: I love the pirc and noone plays it better than Chernin. His book, Pirc Alert, is my favorite book on any opening.> That is an awesome opening book! Unfortunately the Pirc opening itself has fallen out of favor.
