Interview with Kingpin
Kingpin Magazine recently caught up with Alexander for an interview. The following is reprinted with the kind permission of Kingpin’s editor, Jonathan Manley.

What is your earliest memory of playing chess?
As early as in my previous life!

What is your most memorable game?
It looks like it is still ahead.

What was your worst defeat?
Against Tkachiev in New Delhi in 2000.

May-01-04  Dougy: Classic Rook + Pawn endgame. 61. Re3! prevents the black king from attacking the pawn. The black rook alone cannot stop the pawn from promoting (without sacrificing itself).

Nalimov Tablebase says mate in 27 at the end of this game.

  Chessical: <Chessical>Tkachiev could also have won with the simpler <60.f7> Rxf7 61.Rg3+ Kf6 62.Rf3+ Ke7 63.Rxf7+ Kxf7 64.Kd6 Kf6 65.d5 Kf7 66.Kc6 Ke7 67.d6+ Kd8 68.d7

  plang: After the first game ended in a hard fought draw this win clinched the match for Tkachiev in the 4th round of the World Championship tournament; he was eliminated by Grischuk in the next round. Morozovich had played the standard 7..Nbd7 in his loss to Kasparov at Sarajevo 1999; 7..g6!? was new but it has not been repeated in a classical game. Black was already worse after 16 Qb2 but 16..Nxc3 would have been a stronger choice. After 23..Red8? Black was lost; better was 23..Nxb3 24 Qxb3..Bxd4 25 Qxb6..Bxb6 26 Rxd5 when the win would have been much tougher.
