<acirce: Incredible - Moiseenko once again escaped defeat against a top player. This time Grischuk not only failed to win a won position, but even lost.>

Here is a link to the referenced game: Grischuk vs A Moiseenko, 2005.

Sep-05-09  timhortons: GM moiseenko is getting massacred at montreal..

when he joined the aeroflot tournament 2009 i bet he will win it and he won it together with bacrot. I was expecting a lot from him in this tournament but his not just very lucky each game.

Sep-08-09  timhortons: GM moiseenko won the blitz event held after the TIM standard time competition is over..

http://cheszpatzerblog.blogspot.com...

his latest picture..2009 montreal

with his thick glasses and round face he looks mature in photos but GM moiseenko looks younger than this in person.

i just chat with him at icc and his next tournament is european cup.

Feb-05-10  timhortons: Goodluck in aeroflot!

I remember well that GM moiseenko is a canadian champion, yes! 2008 canadian open champion and he did win the last year blitz tournament conducted after tourneo international de montreal.

btw, GM moiseenko is a defending champion in aeroflot, yes as he is the co winner of last years aeroflot!

Goodluck and i hope will se you again playing in quebec!

May-17-10  wordfunph: <timhortons: a very humble person, somebody who would chat with a patzer at icc.>

happy 30th birthday Alexander!

May-09-11  eyalbd: Strange information in <chessgames.com>:

Current FIDE rating: 2092
Highest rating achieved in database: 2694

According FIDE page here:
http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...

His rating is 2679

May-09-11  JohnBoy: <eyal> - looks like he had a bad streak and then a big comeback!
Jun-19-11  Jambow: I don't know much about him but he just entered the 2700 live elo club with a fury gaining 35+ points going to world #28 @ 2714 elo.

Interesting comments on this page regarding unethical behavior, not that I'm suggesting he has cheated by any means, only that a few flags that could be meaningless exist and scrutiny is in order.

If his ascent is legit as it most likely is wow what a run nice job Alexander welcome to the big boys club.
