Feb-16-09 A Cherniaev vs K McPhillips, 2008
| |
| ChesterTheJester: When Cherniaev lost to Sam Franklin at the 2008 Surrey Open (500 point difference - Sam has since gone up about 150) he was very gracious - it was therefore a bit of a shock that he'd stoop so low after losing against someone so good! |

| |
| ChesterTheJester: I think the fact that Jia Shen has been nicknamed "Jack" is more of an issue... |

Mar-27-08 Alexander Cherniaev
| |
| ChesterTheJester: he seems a good guy, and much more gracious in defeat than many other foreign GMs/IMs. Although Steve Giddens comment (above) about the pairings is pretty accurate. |
