Nov-19-03    Ali Makongoro: A. Galkin is real contender by all the way. Nov-19-03    Eggman: 24 year-old Alexander Galkin, the player of the day, is Russia's 24th-ranked player, and with a rating of 2607, is ranked 95th in the world. Nov-19-03    PinkPanther: I suppose he just kind of gets lost in the sea of Grischuks, Malakhovs, and Morozevichs that Russia constantly produces. Jun-15-04    catfriend: He is a fairly strong GM, but without real victories against the greatest. Oct-02-04    teme: I know him online he is very nice he helps scholastic players a lot, like me.He also gives em some free lessons sometimes. Jan-31-06    BIDMONFA: Alexander Galkin GALKIN, Alexander Champion - Championship of the World, Youthful, 1999 http://www.bidmonfa.com/campionats_... _ Feb-07-06    babakova: ooh BIDMONFA... u so crazy May-23-07    bauernfresser: That guy draws a lot.
