Aug-31-04    iron maiden: A talented 14-year old who KO'ed Karjakin in the Ukrainian Championships a few days ago. See http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... for some info on him. Sep-07-04    iron maiden: And, according to http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp..., he just became the second-youngest grandmaster in the world with a joint victory in a Category 9 tournament. Dec-26-04    percyblakeney: Kuzubov has two wins and one draw after four rounds in Groningen, Merab Gagunashvili and John Van der Wiel in the lead: http://www.so-on.org/kerst2004/2004... Dec-30-04    iron maiden: Now going into the final round against Friso Nijboer, he's tied for the lead with three other players, including Nijboer. Dec-30-04    percyblakeney: On the next ELO list he'll pass Carlsen, and will be rated as the best player born in 1990. Dec-30-04    percyblakeney: Nijboer-Kuzubov was a draw, maybe the latter could have pressed for a win, since Nijboer was slightly worse and down to 12 minutes for 17 moves while Kuzubov had more than an hour left. But not a bad tournament for the young Ukrainian, van der Wiel can still win it though. Dec-30-04    percyblakeney: Correction: Karjakin will of course be rated as the best player born in 1990. Dec-30-04    capablancakarpov: Kuzubov won the Armonie Chess Tournament,with the same points that Visser,Van der Wiel and Nijboer,thanks to the results in games played amongst each other and Sonnenborn-Berger points. Jan-26-05    iron maiden: Happy 15th birthday! Jul-01-05    iron maiden: Just won against Alekseev today in Warsaw to finish +3. Jul-01-05    iron maiden: As it turned out, the tiebreaks placed him in the top 34, so he'll have a spot in the next FIDE championship cycle. Jan-26-06    BIDMONFA: Yuri Kuzubov KUZUBOV, Yuri http://www.bidmonfa.com/kuzubov_yur... _ Jan-26-07    mckmac: From FIDE site Current elo 2554 Highest elo 2563.Over 2500 since August 2004. Jan-31-07    iron maiden: He's been relatively quiet the past year and a half, but he's had an excellent Gibraltar tournament thus far. He's performed well above his rating, and a draw against Adams tomorrow will net him a share of first place. Feb-01-07    iron maiden: Edit: He is playing Akopian tomorrow, not Adams. May-16-08    castofclowns: Kuzubov would be playing in the Philippines!!! Jan-29-09    Ken MacGillivray: Kuzubov has won the Gurgaon International Open Grandmasters Chess Tournament in India http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Jan-26-10    Tabanus: 2009 was quite a good year for him, with also 3rd in Rilton Cup (http://chess-results.com/tnr18321.a...), 2nd in SCS Open GM Tournament (India) in June, and winning Spice Cup in September. Mar-03-10    Tabanus: 2010 started well also, with 2nd place in Reykjavik Open: http://www.chess-results.com/tnr293... Mar-24-12    Penguincw: For some reason, the game he was playing in the photo is not in the database. Also, he is tied for 1st (three-way tie) at the 13th European Individual Championship (2012). Jan-26-13    Kikoman: Happy 23rd Birthday GM Yuri Kuzubov! ^^
