Oct-07-09		adic: Why there is games until 2002 ? He died 1990

Oct-07-09		nescio: <adic> The recent games (1993-2002) were probably played by the Russian ICCF grandmaster Alexei Tsvetkov (died June 14, 2004).

Oct-07-09		WhiteRook48: Happy birthday

Oct-07-09		whiteshark: <nescio> UltraCorr database say <Aleksei Aleksandrov Tsvetkov>. Beating Umansky in Tsvetkov vs M Umansky, 1998 is something noteworthy.

Oct-08-09		nescio: <whiteshark: Aleksei Aleksandrov Tsvetkov> That would be a strange name for a Russian. Are you sure it is not Alexei _Alexandrovich_?

Oct-08-09		whiteshark: <nescio>: You are right and very attentive. It's GM <Aleksei Aleksandrovich Tsvetkov> His latest tournaments were <World Championship 21 3/4-Final 4 postal - start 6/3/2002 <Russian Championship 4 (Final) - start 9/1/2003 >> http://www.iccf-webchess.com/Player...

Oct-08-09		nescio: <whiteshark: You are right and very attentive.> Contrary to what sometimes appears customary on the internet I do read the sentences I respond to and the reactions my own posts generate. Especially yours, since you always deal with verifiable facts. :)

Oct-07-12		Topista: Alexander Hristov Tsvetkov born 1914 was awarded the IM title in 1950. He was Bulgarian Champion in 1938, 1940, 1945, 1948 (jointly), 1950 and 1951. The guy was Bulgarian not Russian. It's not right to mix him with a Russian player.
