Jul-09-06  I3illieJoe: This guy is such a cheater. I saw him play at the World Open against Emilio Cordova and they reached a dead draw position. Cordova had 30 seconds left on his clock while the Ukranian had like 10 minutes left. Cordova called the TA and told them that they had made at least 20 moves and made no progress (they were moving only the kings and the bishops back and forth). So the Ukranian wanted to win on time and started making a scene, when it was obvious to even a 1000 rated player that the position was dead draw. What is wrong with him? A 2600 GM acting like that, screaming and behaving like a little boy...shame on him

The first line is "1r6" since it must add up to 8, and the third line is "R1P1p3" if I have the correct position. =)

  Peligroso Patzer: Here are a few annotations to the critical phase of today's decisive game in the Arctic Chess Challenge. (The eventual winner, Moiseenko, actually stood worse for most of the middle game.)

<acirce: Incredible - Moiseenko once again escaped defeat against a top player. This time Grischuk not only failed to win a won position, but even lost.>

Here is a link to the referenced game: Grischuk vs A Moiseenko, 2005.

Sep-05-09  timhortons: GM moiseenko is getting massacred at montreal..

when he joined the aeroflot tournament 2009 i bet he will win it and he won it together with bacrot. I was expecting a lot from him in this tournament but his not just very lucky each game.

Sep-08-09  timhortons: GM moiseenko won the blitz event held after the TIM standard time competition is over..

http://cheszpatzerblog.blogspot.com...

his latest picture..2009 montreal

with his thick glasses and round face he looks mature in photos but GM moiseenko looks younger than this in person.

i just chat with him at icc and his next tournament is european cup.

Feb-05-10  timhortons: Goodluck in aeroflot!

I remember well that GM moiseenko is a canadian champion, yes! 2008 canadian open champion and he did win the last year blitz tournament conducted after tourneo international de montreal.

btw, GM moiseenko is a defending champion in aeroflot, yes as he is the co winner of last years aeroflot!

Goodluck and i hope will se you again playing in quebec!

  Jambow: I don't know much about him but he just entered the 2700 live elo club with a fury gaining 35+ points going to world #28 @ 2714 elo.

Interesting comments on this page regarding unethical behavior, not that I'm suggesting he has cheated by any means, only that a few flags that could be meaningless exist and scrutiny is in order.

If his ascent is legit as it most likely is wow what a run nice job Alexander welcome to the big boys club.
