Sep-07-09  Open Defence: did he do much work on the French Defence ?
Jul-13-10  Antiochus: Two games against Suetin probably were played by him: Suetin vs V Chistyakov, 1947 and Suetin vs A Chistyakov, 1951
Jan-22-14  Eastfrisian: Never heard of him before.
Jan-22-14  paavoh: I believe The French Tarrasch (C07) variation is named after him.

The line goes 1. d4 e6 2. e4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. exd5 Qxd5 avoiding the isolated d pawn so typical to regular Tarrasch.

It is rather nice way of play for Black who should not stay passive though. White can convert his temporary lead in development to a long-standing advantage. I've tried it a few times.

Jan-22-14  Mating Net: Fine summary of the Tarrasch variation <paavoh> thanks.

Interestingly, all 4 of Chistiakov's notable games were with the Black pieces.

  Domdaniel: I often play Chistyakov's 4...Qxd5 line in the Tarrasch French. Even on this site, the spelling of his name varies between Chistiakov and Chistyakov.

  perfidious: <Dom> Then there is the early Informator standby Korcnoj.
Jan-22-16  TheFocus: Happy birthday, Alexander Chistiakov.

Thank you for your variation in the French. It has brought me some nice wins.
