| Jun-17-09 | | swordfish: Yes, what a happy 30th this must be for Motylev, coming off his win at the Karpov tournament. I wonder why he's not player of the day. |
|
| Jun-17-09 | | Raisin Death Ray: Congrats for winning the Karpov tournament!

|
| Sep-06-09 | | percyblakeney: Motylev isn't doing well in the Russian Championship. He is 2710 but has a minus score after five rounds (two losses with white), in spite of only playing opponents rated in the 2500s. |

|
| Jan-17-12 | | Shams: I've been mentally pronouncing his surname Mott-Lee-Ev but that's not right, is it. Mott-Y-Lev, I guess? |

|
| Jun-30-12 | | Jason Frost: <Shams> Mot-i-liov, with middle i a bit harder/throatier than regular i. By the way, anyone know why he's playing Chinese league over Russian higher league? |
|

He gained 28.8 points according to ChessBase and ChessVibes, which puts him at 2684. Making him number 61 in the world. He is currently number 99. |

| Nov-01-15 | | zanzibar: Could some editor please update his bio to reflect the fact that he's a GM? His FIDE card lists him as achieving GM in 2000.

Also, there's an interesting line in the Sozin-Scheveningen which brought me here: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bc4 e6 7.Bb3 Nbd7 8.
f4 Nc5 9.Qf3 Be7 10.O-O O-O 11.Be3 Qc7 12.g4 b5 13.g5 Nfxe4 14.Nxe4
Bb7 15.Nxe6
click for larger viewAnd now if 15...fxe6 (vs. 15...Nxe6) White can play the interesting 16.Nxc5 instead of 16.Bxc5 and put his queen on the block as Motylev did in the following game: <

As far as I know this is the first game with this dynamic play. My version comes from <MillBase>, I don't think <CG> has it. The first game I could find with the earlier setup move of 15...Nxe6 being played I found on chess-db: <
Erik Sobjerg vs. Axel Stephan
(Denmark, 2265) 0 - 1 (Germany, 2228)
Event: Chiasso op2, 1991, Lipnitzky Variation, Sicilian (B90)
>
http://chess-db.com/public/game.jsp... In this game White played 16.Bxc5, which makes a good game, but not quite as dynamic as the line where White exchanges the queen for minor pieces. Golubev should be mentioned as a player who has used the line several times. |

| May-01-21 | | joddon: He should be Ian Nepopatchichi s second for Carslen tournament...he would perfect to train the senses that become dull under pressure from Carslen inauthentic uninventive incentive attacks while playing....losing time he won't have enough time on his clock to counter bad maneuvering of pieces.....thats why Motylev is perfect trainer...he has strange ideas which help Ian. |

 | | perfidious: <joddon….(Motylev) would [be] perfect to train the senses that become dull under pressure from Carslen inauthentic uninventive incentive attacks while playing.....> Yeah, Carlsen is the most boring player ever.
Have you taken up the cudgels and joined <messiah> in the vaudeville act <dumbass and dumbasser>? |
