| TheParadigm: Has this guy's rating improved significantly lately? I can't figure out how he's participating in the Russian tournament. |

| suenteus po 147: His performance in the 58th Russian Championship qualified him as an alternate in case any of the original attendees dropped. Since Grischuk and Najer did, he got a spot. |

| BishopBerkeley: I wonder if Evgeny might be related to San Francisco Symphony Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas (whose original name was Thomashefsky)? Maestro "MTT's" grandparents were prominent in Yiddish theater (Boris and Bessie Thomashefsky), and his father was Broadway stage manager Ted Thomas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michae...
http://www.sfsymphony.org/templates... I note that "MTT" was named Gramophone's "2005 Artist of the Year": http://www.sfsymphony.org/templates... "One of my very, very first memories is of my parents' house in Los Angeles. In the late afternoon, the light would come through windows at one end of the house. There were venetian blinds and the blinds would be open so the light would come into the room in bands of light, because there was a lot of dust in the air in the San Fernando Valley in the summertime especially, and in these bands of light there were motes of dust, dancing in the light; and my first musical memory, I think, is watching those particles of dust moving, and reaching way up over my head to the keyboard of this big old upright rosewood Steinway grand that my parents had, and trying to play notes that would accompany this dance of the dust." – From MTT's Viva Voce, Conversations with Edward Seckerson (Faber & Faber, 1994) |

| twinlark: His rating is now at a PB of 2564. Although this is the lowest in the tournament, he's young (19) and improving. He could be a surprise packet. |

| Honza Cervenka: Tomashevsky won with white pieces today against Andreev in Pardubice and the finish of the game was quite cool.
click for larger viewThis position arose after 26th move of black 26...e6. The game continued 27.Nb4 Nxb4 28.Rc1 and black resigned. If 28...Nc6, then 29.Rxc6 bxc6 30.Qa7+ Kc8 31.Bb6 Rd7 (to stop the threatening mate on c7) 32.Qa8#! |

No he's a fan of Kramnik.
<jon01: Tomashevsky is a killer with 1. c4.>
Yeah you're right,he's really good with the English opening(1.c4)as he demonstrated in European Individual Championship 2009,Russia vs.China Match,and now the Russian Higher League.Among his victims with it were Wang Yue,Baadur Jobava,Vladimir Malakhov,etc. |
