Dec-30-04  percyblakeney: Correction: Karjakin will of course be rated as the best player born in 1990.
Dec-30-04  capablancakarpov: Kuzubov won the Armonie Chess Tournament,with the same points that Visser,Van der Wiel and Nijboer,thanks to the results in games played amongst each other and Sonnenborn-Berger points.
Jan-26-05  iron maiden: Happy 15th birthday!
Jul-01-05  iron maiden: Just won against Alekseev today in Warsaw to finish +3.
Jul-01-05  iron maiden: As it turned out, the tiebreaks placed him in the top 34, so he'll have a spot in the next FIDE championship cycle.
Jan-26-06  BIDMONFA: Yuri Kuzubov

KUZUBOV, Yuri
http://www.bidmonfa.com/kuzubov_yur...
_

Jan-26-07  mckmac: From FIDE site Current elo 2554 Highest elo 2563.Over 2500 since August 2004.
Jan-31-07  iron maiden: He's been relatively quiet the past year and a half, but he's had an excellent Gibraltar tournament thus far. He's performed well above his rating, and a draw against Adams tomorrow will net him a share of first place.
Feb-01-07  iron maiden: Edit: He is playing Akopian tomorrow, not Adams.
May-16-08  castofclowns: Kuzubov would be playing in the Philippines!!!
Jan-29-09  Ken MacGillivray: Kuzubov has won the Gurgaon International Open Grandmasters Chess Tournament in India http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

  Penguincw: For some reason, the game he was playing in the photo is not in the database.

Also, he is tied for 1st (three-way tie) at the 13th European Individual Championship (2012).

Jan-26-13  Kikoman: Happy 23rd Birthday GM Yuri Kuzubov! ^^
Jan-26-14  nummerzwei: <Dec-30-04 percyblakeney: On the next ELO list he'll pass Carlsen, and will be rated as the best player born in 1990.>

Such a prodigy. What became of him?

  Penguincw: I know this is probably late, but congratz to young GM Yuri Kuzubov for winning the Abu Dhabi tournament with a score of 7/9 (+6,-1,=2). He edged Tigran L Petrosian 2527-2525 (!) on tiebreaks.

During the tournament, he unofficially gained 7.8 points to rise to 2675, as he looks to overtake Anton Korobov for Ukraine #7 (2680).

Nov-23-14  twinlark: Congratulations on GM Kuzubov winning the Ukrainian championship ahead of a very strong field. Winning his last round game after a loss in the previous round was especially gutsy.

Well done.

Nov-23-14  whiteshark: Congratulations to Yuri Kuzubov for winning the 2014 Ukranian Chess Championship!

  Penguincw: Congrats to Yuri Kuzubov for joining the live top 100 ratings. He has gained 1.9 rating points through 4 rounds, and currently sits at 2651.9, and #100, 0.1 behind Granda Zuniga.

  Penguincw: Anyway, at the Iasi Open, he scored 6.5/9 (+5,-1,=3), but only gained 0.3 points from his 2650 rating, so he'll remain below the top 100 (currently it's 2652.0 that's needed).

  Penguincw: Congrats to Kuzubov for his performance at the Cesme Open. He scored 7.5/9 (+7,-1,=1) against 2337 opposition, and gained 5.2 points.
