EVGENY AGREST (born Aug-15-1966) Belarus (citizen of Sweden) [what is this?] Grandmaster from Belarus who has been living in Sweden since 1994. He was born in Russia. In 2003, he won a game from world champion Ruslan Ponomariov because Ponomariov's cell phone rang during their match in the European team championship. A cell phone ringing during a FIDE match is an automatic disqualification. In 2004, it was Agrest who lost a game when his cell phone rang. He has won the Nordic Chess Championship in 2001 and 2003. He won the Swedish Championship in 1998, 2001, 2002, and 2004. He has played in four Chess Olympiads. In 2004, he played Board 1 for Sweden at the Chess Olympiad in Calvia.

May-29-04    Bobsterman3000: This should go under "notable games" for Agrest. The committee at Linares would probably give Agrest a "brilliancy prize" for this win... May-29-04    poktirity: Yes I was a nice and unexpected winning technique. Jul-06-04    ConLaMismaMano: Is Agrest swedish-born or from an eastern europe country? Jul-06-04    acirce: Nope, as his name indicates he is Russian, moved here about ten years ago. Oct-31-04    aw1988: What's so scary about Agrest? :) Oct-31-04    nikolaas: Perhaps he's AgresIVE? Oct-31-04    siggemannen: Agrest is probably most known by his cellular phone incidents, one against Ponomariov when Agrest won, and another in the Swedish Championship (if i remember right) when after white made the first move Agrest's phone rang. Some ppl say it was Pono calling, wanted to say they are even now :) Jan-17-05    angelique: dose any one want to play me Apr-07-05    WTHarvey: Here are some chess diagrams of mates and 'must wins' in Evgeny's games not shown here: http://www.wtharvey.com/agre.html Apr-07-05    notyetagm: The following game by Agrest won a prestigious <Chess Informant Best Game Prize>: Agrest vs Bacrot, 2001. Jan-11-06    Devilz: lol he won because Ponomariov's cell phone rang :P Jun-19-06    BIDMONFA: Evgeny Agrest AGREST, Evgenij http://www.bidmonfa.com/agrest_evge... _ Jun-19-06    mahmoudkubba: <siggemannen>: What's a Pono calling? Jun-19-06    Elixir of Life: Pono = Ponomariov Jun-19-06    LPeristy: He probably got someone to call Ponomariov's cell phone for him. Actually, that'd be a great winning tactic. Find out your opponents cell phone number, and call it at the appropriate time. *Continues devious scheming* Jun-27-06    mahmoudkubba: <LPeristy>: Wasn't there a referee to find out abt such a thing or didn't they found out such a trick if it is supposed to be a trick?? and didn't any body noticed that it is from the opponent?? or it is just the good luck that look a like a ping pong game (a Table Ten. g.) when the small ball touchs the edge of the opponent??
