ALEXANDER GRISCHUK
(born Oct-31-1983) Russia

[what is this?]
Alexander Grischuk was born October 31, 1983 in Moscow, where he lives to this day. He became quite famous as a junior, reaching the semifinals of the 2000 FIDE world championship when he was only sixteen. Since then he has scored a number of international successes, placing second at the Corus Chess Tournament in 2002. He was also second in the final of the 2004 Russian Championships behind Garry Kasparov. Currently he is ranked seventeenth in the world on the FIDE rating list; his career-best placing so far has been seventh in October of 2003. In 2007, he won Candidates' matches against Vladimir Malakhov and Sergei Rublevsky to qualify for the FIDE World Championship Tournament (2007), but there he finished last out of the eight players. In 2009 he scored his first victory at Linares (2009), finishing in joint first place with Vassily Ivanchuk.

Grischuk has also had many successes at rapid and blitz chess. He is a two-time winner of the Ordix Open and won the World Blitz Chess Championship in 2006.

Sep-01-09   DCP23: <Don Cossacks> Yes in Tal Memorial Blitz there is an organized recording of moves because all games are played on DGT boards. In this event all games were played on non-electronic boards.
Sep-01-09   returnoftheking: Next thing you will be telling us that they used wooden clocks !
Sep-01-09   DCP23: <returnoftheking: Next thing you will be telling us that they used wooden clocks !>

They used electronic clocks, top 10 boards were wooden but not DGT, rest of the boards were paper.

If the winner of a qualification event also wins the Grand Slam final it would be a first :-)

  timhortons: <kackhander>

naka once called him pot head at ICC.

GRISCHUK IS ALSO A VERY GOOD POKER PLAYER!

Sep-07-09   kackhander: yea i know, strongest force also alluded to something similar on the tkachiev thread, though from where i'm standing his results are holding up ok this year.
Sep-07-09   zoat22: <timhortons> well naka insults everyone stronger than himself (many people) on ICC

  Knight13: Very good at chess and poker no longer impress me.

Too many people are like that.

Very good at chess and any concert type music instrument or sports.

Now that's very, very impressive.

  Knight13: I do agree somewhat that Nakamura is a bit disrespectful and arrogant compared to other top players.

  timhortons: i respect your view knight 13..i got an account for 3 years now at icc, the reason i renew it is because of nakamura transwarp games at naka blitzing all night, i observed it allnight long, sometimes i can asllep while observing, by the time i wake up naka is still blitzing.

icc is full of disrespectfull people, but still its fun, nakamura bashers are actually not missing his single game observing it, even those GM who hate him, can you imagine in an ordinary blitz game theres 250 sometimes 300 observer?

many are jealous of these, if naka indeed is misfit of icc so why would people stop playing and observed him play?

there like 5 to 10 regular naka basher who throw insult and disrespectfull kibitz each time he play, i know this guys, though i never had a quarrel with them, i got muzzled at icc but for some other reason.

many disrespectfull thing are attributed to nakamura at icc, i find this very wrong.

<disrespectfull to people who got high rating than him>

i was there the first time depressnyak play at icc. even andrino....its naka who put this guys to ignore for the insult they throwing at him. how did i know it, because im observing the game.

andrino would relay to main kibitz panel what message he want to tell naka, and people around would pass it to nakamura, like time control and challenge to play...

only nakamura would chat with observers at icc, some GM would just ignore you most often. he will end his game with the kibitz...< i hope you enjoy my games!bye!>

  timhortons: <Knight13> what disrespectfull manner and arrogance are you saying?

can you please clarify on these? in what tournament?did the arbiter know about it? did fide made sanctions?

  Knight13: <tomhortons> I'm not even gonna get into that... Note I said top players, so obviously those are the Top 10 on FIDE (didn't clarify on that sorry). Who in top 10 even throws any crap at anybody?

And also note <compared to other top players>. I was making my statement pretty specific. Basically what I meant is that I sensed asbolutely no pie-throwing comments from any top players except Nakamura.

But now I must admit that this is unfair comparison since he's not yet in the 2750+ top range.

But, yeah, I agree most people on ICC are disrespectful people. They get on there everyday so they can piss people off or start some kind of bullcrap. I found out that the most common way they do this is either by taking what you said and make it a half lie or just a lie altogether.

If you find them doing this then you've already "won" the argument. There's absolutely no reason to twist what you've said in order to counter what you stated if it was a wrong or ignorant statement in the first place. Just don't get into it when they do this, it's complete BS.

  timhortons: < knight 13> were the same people kibitzing here everyday. theres no sense humuliating each other in a certain issue.

its very serious accusation to say one person is disrespectfull and arrogant.

i cant claim here onischuk is disrespectfull to me because i tried to say hi! to him last tourneo international de montreal and the guy ignore me with a poker face.

pre tournament time is not the time to socialize with any GM.

Who among us here would say he know nakamura personally and nakamura likewise say know him personally and would paste in every forum that nakamura is a disrespectfull and disgusting person?

thats character assasination, deserving prosecution.

the guy you shooting has no means of protecting himself.

lets be fair.

i dont mean to be offensive with you knight13. i like your post and never had issue with you in the past.

  Knight13: <timhortons> Gotcha. Wasn't trying to put us behind eight-balls either.

So apologies on my part, too.

  Resignation Trap: Whenever I see a photo of Grischuk, the word "catacomb" pops into my mind. As in "Man, get that cat a comb"!
Oct-31-09   Moonstone: Happy Birthday Alexander!

Same first name and birthday as Alekhine.

Maybe your father's a fan of Alexander 'the Great' Alekhine.
