EVGENY ALEKSEEV
(born Nov-28-1985) Russia

[what is this?]
Evgeny Alekseev was born on November 28, 1985 in Pushkin, Russia. He won the Russian Junior Championship twice. In 2002, he achieved the Grandmaster title and won the Hoogoven Open. In 2004, he won the Geneva Open. In 2004, he participated in the FIDE World championship in Libya, but was knocked out in the first round. He became Russian Champion in 2006, beating Dmitry Jakovenko in a tie-break playoff. At 21 years and 17 days, he was the youngest player to win the Superfinal since Mikhail Tal in 1957. Not long after came another strong victory, in the 6th Aeroflot Festival (2007). This earned him an invitation to his first supertournament, Dortmund (2007), where he finished in joint second position with a +1 score. In 2008 he won the 41st Biel International Chess Festival (2008) by defeating Leinier Dominguez-Perez in quick-play tiebreaks.

Feb-22-07   stanleys: Let me congratulate him one more time!
Another great win for Evgeny!

  suenteus po 147: Next is Dortmund, where Alekseev will face Kramnik, Anand, Leko, Gelfand, Carlsen, Mamedyarov, and Naiditsch. It will be interesting to see if he fares better than Jobava before him.
Aug-22-07   Raskolnikov: Today Evgeny faces with black Bu Xiangzhi in the 3rd round of Russia-China summit. Hope they will show us some interesting chess!!
Aug-22-07   Mameluk: The Russian champion and Aeroflot winner does not have much kibitzing here. The game was drawn.
Aug-22-07   Raskolnikov: <Mameluk: The Russian champion and Aeroflot winner does not have much kibitzing here. The game was drawn.> It is better this way. You dont want to read here 10 pages about corruption and power abuse in Russia, do you?
Aug-24-07   IMDONE4: Less than a single page about a player who is young and on an incredible hot streak right now: Russian Champion, Aeroflot Winner, =2nd at Dortmund...
Aug-25-07   petrovalovski: He deserves a little more kibitzing,indeed. What with a rating of 2689 at this young age. And he's improving very quickly, as far as I know he's gaining something like 10 points from his 4/7 in Dortmund. And now in the China match he has already gained something like 10 points I think, so perhaps on the next rating list he could be something like 2710. One of the new kids on the block.
Aug-25-07   Petrosian63: He is doing very well against China right now.

  acirce: Decent, 5/6 so far.
Oct-01-07   pawnofdoom: He's in the 2700s now! The 41st or 42nd player to do so, I think, coming in with Wang Yue this supplement. he gained 27 points to go to 2716 and now he's #15 in the world
Nov-01-07   supertimchan: Why noone wants to kibitz here?
Nov-12-07   argishti: yes, it is strange, 22 year old 2700+ player. and not even one page filled out yet...
Dec-05-07   stanleys: He needs to become World Champion to have some more kibitzing?

Seriously - one of the most promising players,very solid.Everybody talks about Magnus,Shak,Radja,Cheparinov and so on - but Alekseev is at least at the same level,if not superiour

Dec-05-07   cotdt: a high rating does not mean much without wins in big events. if he wins the world cup, then i suspect he will get much more attention.

  micartouse: I like Alekseev, and of the remaining players I'd love to see him take the cup. He's just a straight up cool dude.
Dec-05-07   stanleys: <cotdt:> <<a high rating does not mean much without wins in big events. if he wins the world cup, then i suspect he will get much more attention>>

Well I think that even some "super GMs" will have much trouble to win the Russian Championship,Aeroflot Open,share 2nd place in Dortmund,score 7/10 against the best Chinese players and so on.OK he underperformed at the Tal Memorial,but it was his only failure

Jul-29-08   amateur05: Apparently, according to a new article in chessbase, Alekseev is from Norway which has adopted the Russian flag.
Jul-29-08   Troller: <amateur05: Apparently, according to a new article in chessbase, Alekseev is from Norway which has adopted the Russian flag.> I believe Norway has recently annexed Russia with a quick military takeover. Together they will rule the world with oil and gas.

Regarding the meagre interest in Alekseev, it's common knowledge that Eastern European players are not interesting for the public, and Russian players are at the bottom of that hierarchy. Just look at the kibitzing on Nakamura's page.

But it's also a common trait that young Russian chessplayers break through a little later than most others. So I think Alekseev is still improving, and we shouldn't discount him as future top-10 player.

  acirce: Norway is "the last Soviet state" (then Swedish minister of business Björn Rosengren in 1999.)

<So I think Alekseev is still improving, and we shouldn't discount him as future top-10 player.> Definitely not! I think it's more likely than not that he will be.

  micartouse: I bet chessbucks that the Russian would take Biel and it got me out of the hole. :) Congrats to Alekseev for taking home another nice trophy, and I'm looking forward to more games from him.

  percyblakeney: It says something about how strong the Russian team is in the Olympiad when Alekseev isn't included. In the Spanish Team Championship a couple of days ago he outplayed Adams from this quite even position:

Here they are. Both from NICbase. 2nd game is very strange. Don't know if notation is incorrect or that there was an agreement about the conclusion of this game in advance.

Oct-05-09   returnoftheking: Don't see this strong GM in big tournaments nowadays, unfortunately. What is his next?
