| suenteus po 147: <argishti: a 2700 player, and not even a page is filled for him.> No biography for him either. If it weren't for the kibitzing here (or perhaps his FIDE card) you wouldn't even know what country he plays for. |

| Manic: <suenteus po 147> How ironic that you'd say that. Only now have I realised that Eljanov is Ukranian and not Russian. |

Politiken Cup is breaking the records for a second consecutive year and is proving to be one of the major events of chess in Europe. A month before the competition starts more than 150 players have already signed up. Not only the number is record high for the competition, but the participation is the strongest ever. Top seeded will be GM Pavel Eljanov, currently rated 2715 according to the live top list of our friend Hans Arild. He will be joined by the previous winners of the festival - GM Vladimir Malakhov and GM Michal Krasenkow.

GM Peter Heine Nielsen, GM Sergey Tiviakov, GM Boris Savchenko, GM Jacob Aagaard, and many more strong players (check the list below) will participate as well. Politiken Cup 2008 is going to be the most international edition of the competition ever. Until now players from numerous countries have signed up - Denmark, Ukraine, Israel, Russia, Holland, Poland, Georgia, Sweden, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Scotland, India, Switzerland, and Cuba are only a few to mention.

| DFelter: Aerosvit turned out to be pretty good for Eljanov. His last place showing at Corus wasn't too promising (despite winning against Judit and Topalov), but his play in Foros has been solid. Perhaps it's comforting playing at home. |

| Billy Vaughan: Eljanov put in a frightfully strong performance at ETC, with 6/8 despite a loss to Hammer and a huge rating gain that puts him at 11th on the live list. |

| Billy Vaughan: Unbelievably that makes him the top Ukrainian, above Chuky, Pono, and Karjakin. |

| Eyal: <Unbelievably that makes him the top Ukrainian, above Chuky, Pono, and Karjakin.> Well, currently he's 2739 whereas Chuky and Pono are 2738, so this might change dramatically after a few games of the latter in the upcoming Tal Memorial... But seriously - so far Eljanov seems to be one of those +2700 players who gain most of their points against lower-rated ones, but are struggling against their rating-peers, as indicated by his results at Corus 2008 and the first 2 Grand Prix tournaments in which he participated. In all of them he finished with -2 or -3, at the very bottom or close to it. He did somewhat better at the Jermuk GP, however, finishing with an even score at the middle of the table. |

| Billy Vaughan: I guess that puts him in a class with players like Jako whose ratings soared but didn't (yet) show they could put out against the very best. |

| Ezzy: In no way am I trying to undermine Eljanov's brilliant performance in the ETC. It came to my notice though, that in a couple of games his talented opponents made aweful rook moves which gave him easy free points. That's not the fault of Eljanov who can only try to beat who's in front of him at the board. As I said, still a sterling performance!! Navara v Eljanov
click for larger view28 Rac1?? b5 and the rook can't escape the knight fork. Extremely careless by Navara. 
click for larger view25 Rxf4?? (What was Sutovsky thinking) Be5 and white is lost. Eljanov obviously has abilty. He performed well in top company at the Aerosvit tournament 2008. But I agree with <Eyal> that his performance in the grand prix was not an indication that he is destined for the top 10 in the elo list. Only time will tell though. Aerosvit (2008) |

| Billy Vaughan: That report says he married O Dvoretska in April. I guess they reported it now because his high live rating is topical. http://www.chessbase.com/news/2009/... - now we know neither of them is a vampire :) |
