IVAN CHEPARINOV
(born Nov-26-1986) Bulgaria

[what is this?]
Ivan Cheparinov was born November 26, 1986 in Asenovgrad, Bulgaria. He learned to play chess at age five, and progressed quickly enough to win the junior championship of Bulgaria as early as 2000. He then took the "overall" Bulgarian championship in 2004, the same year he became a grandmaster.

Since then, Cheparinov has continued improving, and in January 2007 the FIDE rating list placed him 69th in the world. His tournament successes include joint second at Pamplona 2005 and clear first at the 2006 Essent Open. He took part in the FIDE World Cup (2005), eliminating Alexei Fedorov and Vassily Ivanchuk before losing his third-round match with Magnus Carlsen in quick-play tie-break. He advanced to the quarterfinals in the 2007 World Cup, winning against Wang Yue and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, among others, before again being knocked out by Carlsen. Nonetheless, his accomplishments raised his rating enough to qualify him as a participant in the inaugural FIDE Grand Prix series.

Cheparinov is also well-known for his role as a second to Veselin Topalov. He is credited with finding several of the opening novelties unleashed by his countryman during the past few years, for example the move 12. Nxf7 in Topalov vs Kramnik, 2008.

  Kombi: Good fighting spirit against N.Short! Better luck next time!

P.S. Get rid of the manager. ;)

  tpstar: <Biographer> Those last two sentences contain five glaring typos - please revise.

He made an apology, he did shake hands, and he played the game out instead of sulking and whining and forfeiting. Short had the last laugh by winning OTB, but it was a great fighting game and a respectable loss. The ultimate take-home point for juniors and students is that such disrespectful stunts will backfire, and backfire badly.

Let's leave him alone and enjoy the chess. =)

  sallom89: i don't believe how did he figure out the knight sacrifice position and how it is effective in Topalov-Kramnik match! simply amazing game it was.
Jan-23-08   jmi: <sallom89: i don't believe how did he figure out the knight sacrifice position and how it is effective in Topalov-Kramnik match!>

Unlike Kramnik and his seconds, he prob. left the computer to analyse a bit longer....

  Open Defence: he is no doubt a great talent, what would chess be without its bad guys ? :)

Jan-23-08   amateur05: Regarding the comment on chessbase, why don't they publish their finding about God in a journal of religious studies?

  frogbert: actually, there _is_ a mistake in how fide does rounding of ratings of x,5 in today's official april list. when i had another thorough look, it becomes clear that not only cheparinov's rating has been rounded in a "strange" way, but also that of ni hua:

ni 2680: change +23,5 -> april rating 2703 (?)
cheparinov 2713: change -17,5 -> april rating 2695 (?)

it looks like someone has tried to do something "smart" regarding how rounding of x,5 ratings are implemented. anyway, the case of ni settles it - there currently is a bug in how the april fide list has been calculated.

Apr-24-08   yalie: Cheparinov is a fine creative genius who can come up with great ideas off the board .. but over the board, he still has ways to go beore reaching elite status ... as I write he is -4 through four rounds of the Baku Grand Prix.

Even at Corus, I found his play OTB did not justify his rating.

Apr-24-08   Billy Vaughan: Eep! Not doing so well, are we Mr. Cheparinov.
Apr-25-08   ivan999: man is he having a bad tournament
Apr-25-08   FHBradley: <Cheparinov said he had no clue on what is going on – just like the rest of the chess world. "It is my fault that I lose all those games, but I don't know why. I talk a lot with Silvio [Danailov, who is not in Baku], but it doesn't help.> If I were Cheparinov, I'd probably try something else.

  percyblakeney: It's probably just that Cheparinov isn't used to playing in these tournaments. Otherwise he won against and eliminated both Mamedyarov and Wang Yue in the World Cup in December, so he is a better player than his results in Baku this far.

  badest: <percyblakeney> Yes, he is better than -4, but he must be having some kind of crisis - chesswise. It is a pity, because he is usually an exciting player and fun to watch...
Apr-25-08   zoren: disturbing voice on the chessbase interview.

interesting player though if this is topalov's second, if what topalov plays in the opening is from cheparinov, then he is a brilliant opening specialist.

Apr-25-08   cotdt: i know he will almost certainly to win today, after all he's lost the last 4 games.

  dx9293: Cheparinov is sacrificing all of his "stuff" for Topalov. That explains his recent poor results, though I agree 0-4 is absolutely horrid!
Apr-28-08   Billy Vaughan: Hey, Cheparinov is no longer last place. Two wins in a row.....definitely picking up the pace.
May-02-08   yalie: make that three wins .. and counting. He beat Radjabov today.
May-08-08   Billy Vaughan: Won his first game at M-Tel Masters.
May-10-08   Billy Vaughan: Cheparinov's voice is really high: http://www.mtelmasters.com/en/video...
