Mar-24-11 | | suenteus po 147: Dreev wins in tiebreaks over Smirin here: Game Collection: Dos Hermanas 2001 The early '00s were good for him. |
|
Apr-14-11 | | paavoh: Dreev iurrently playing a nice endgame against Movsesian in the Russian Team Championships, round 3 (see chessdom.com live games). I hope CG will soon get these high-level games in their database. |

 | | alexmagnus: Dreev, in the past, was the player with probably the most constant results in the KO tournaments (FIDE WC/Worldcup), with the exception of "eternal" first-round losers: 1997: Quarterfinal (lost to Gelfand)
1999: Last 16 (lost to Adams)
2000: Last 16 (lost to Topalov)
2001: Last 16 (lost to Anand)
2004: Last 16 (lost to Dominguez)
2005: Last 16 (lost to Gelfand)
and the quarterfinal of 1997 was "effectively" of the same value as the round of last 16 in other competitions as the winner had to play Karpov. 2007 and 2009 he didn't participate though. |

 | | alexmagnus: From the bio here:
<He reached the quarterfinals of the FIDE World Championship on four consecutive occasions (1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001). In late 2004 his Elo surpassed the 2700 mark after he finished third in the Russian Championships (2004).> The first part is wrong, see the post above. The second one is wrong too, he was rated over 2700 for the first time on the October 2003 list, i.e. a year earlier |

Dreev won with 8.5/11 ahead of Moiseenko and Short with 7.5 each (Moiseenko with better tie-breaks, both were followed by 7 other players with 7.5 points) and receives $20,000.

Feb-04-14 | | paavoh: Very solid 5.5/7 so far in the Gibraltar Open, with "win with White, draw with Black" strategy. Efficiently nurturing small advantages into the endgame. |
|
Jan-17-16 | | siggemannen: Dreev back in "high" action in Tata Steel group B. Hopefully he can teach the youngers there a lesson or two. He's one of my favourite players, due to his ability to combine "classical" way of playing with very aggressive play when needed, and also being a 1.d4 and Caro player |
|
Oct-19-18 | | sonia91: Great performance by Dreev in the Fall Chess Classic - Group A in St Louis! It was a round-robin tournament, he won (at 49 y.o.!) with 6.5/9 against a field of young players, all rated 2600+. Dreev beat Lazaro Bruzon Batista, Eric Hansen, Alex Lenderman and Ray Robson: https://www.uschesschamps.com/2018-... Dreev gained 21 rating points and at 2670 is back to the top 100. Back in August he also won the Spilimbergo Open in Italy with 7.5/9, beating among others Jobava: http://ratings.fide.com/individual_... |

 | | alexmagnus: Dreev turned 50, becoming the another 50+ year old on the live top 100 (along with Rausis and Gelfand). |
|
Jan-22-19
 | | alexmagnus: Next candidate for a 50 year old top 100 player is Ivanchuk, who is currentl ranked 32nd and needs to keep a top 100 position till Matrch 18th. |
|
Mar-13-21 | | siggemannen: No games since 2019. I guess the online-chess of today doesn't suit the old guard. Probably gonna be hard for them to make ends meet since most offline tourneys have been cancelled, hope Dreev is doing alright. |
|
Mar-23-21 | | sakredkow: This is just anecdotal observation but Dreev and Korneev seem to be among the most active GMs by my database (siggemannen's comment directly above mine notwithstanding). |
|
Jul-25-21 | | siggemannen: Dreev played in Russian Superleague in july, but didn't do too great: https://chess-results.com/tnr567297... Impressively, Aleksandra Goryachkina won the right to play at the Open superfinal |
|
