< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 1 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-26-05    Mameluk: And Alekseev is now on +3 together with Svidler on the 1st board! Areschenko and Efimenko in the same team are leading 2nd board and 3rd board standings respectively. Quite surprising, maybe they simply play more and so better than all those super GM´s waiting for supertournaments. Apr-26-05    acirce: Playing white against Ivanchuk today - who has had great results so far but then lost with white against Gelfand yesterday. Should be interesting. Aug-02-05    WTHarvey: Here are some puzzles from Evgeny's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/alee.html Jan-28-06    BIDMONFA: Evgeny Alekseev ALEKSEEV, Evgeny http://www.bidmonfa.com/alekseev_ev... _ Dec-15-06    Karpova: Russian Champion 2006! Dec-15-06    DCP23: They say he defeated Jakovenko 1.5-0.5 in the rapid tie-breaks, winning his White game and drawing his Black game, but I can't find the game scores anywhere. Can someone please post them? Dec-15-06    Karpova: D Jakovenko vs E Alekseev, 2006 E Alekseev vs D Jakovenko, 2006 Dec-15-06    DCP23: <Karpova> Oh, thanks! Somehow I missed them. Dec-15-06    Wild Bill: Congratulations to Evgeny. Dec-16-06    stanleys: Congratulations Evgeny! Feb-22-07    stanleys: Let me congratulate him one more time! Another great win for Evgeny! May-21-07    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. Aug-26-07    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. Dec-05-07    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. search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 1 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing>
