Sep-29-04    fifhun: Is he one of the active French & Slav player & expert nowadays, besides Bareev ? Jun-21-05    Hidden Skillz: uhmm this guy lost to the palm hiarcs 9.5 chess program 3-1.. Jun-27-05    TheAlchemist: Volkov played a spectacular game today at the Individual European Chmapionship against Korneev. Sep-11-05    iron maiden: Volkov is currently in the lead of the Russian Championship qualifier with 6/8. Sep-11-05    percyblakeney: ...but after his loss in the last round against Khalifman the latter and Bareev finished with 6.5/9: http://www.russiachess.ru/mods.php?...; Sep-11-05    iron maiden: <percyblakeney>, thanks for that. There are seven qualification slots available; do you know how the tiebreaks (if there are any) will work? Sep-12-05    percyblakeney: ChessBase says: <For some reason word is that Motylev (number nine in our tables and on the official web site) has qualified, not Zvjaginsev or Tomashevsky> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Sep-12-05    aw1988: Zvjaginsev is a crying shame. He is probably one of the most dramatic players... Sep-12-05    acirce: <Bareev wins 58th Russian Individual Championship> Another loss for people who trust Chessbase for chess news. Sep-12-05    iron maiden: <aw1988> I was rooting for Zvjaginsev to qualify too. A pity. Sep-13-05    acirce: I may have to apologize to Chessbase. I hear from a couple of Russian speaking persons that this event actually seems to have had the status of an official championship (and at the same time a qualifier to the "superfinal" championship in December). But it sounds odd and I don't know for sure. Sep-13-05    TheAlchemist: <acirce> Odd Lie? :-) Dec-19-05    Dim Weasel: <aw1988> <iron maiden> Superfinal is beginning and Zvjaginsev is there after all. Feb-07-06    BIDMONFA: Sergey Volkov VOLKOV, Sergey http://www.bidmonfa.com/volkov_serg... _ Apr-20-08    biglo: Sorry Chess Games but http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... says his rating in April 2008 is 2633 not 2035 May-03-08    kasp: Yes. His current rating is 2633 and he finished 3rd at European Individual Championship. Strong player! Oct-25-09    Tabanus: With 7.0/9 Volkov today won the Chigorin Memorial 2009. Congratulations! http://www.totalchess.spb.ru/kalend... Oct-25-09    Tabanus: Parimarjan Negi participated (27th place), and the first to break the news in English was http://www.cyberchess.co.in/chess-n... Oct-29-09    Tabanus: Volkov won the Chigorin Mem. also in 1999 (shared with Shirov) (0 games in database) and 1998 (2 games). Strong player!
