Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Kind of sad for Onischuk who plays very aggressively and entertaining but yet does not win. Wonderful fighting spirit though.
What about his opponent?
Almost everybody here talks about Onischuk, Carlsen, Dominguez, and you do not ralize that Alekseev plays very good most of the time.
Keep him in mind for the future – and the present as well!
okay
yes, i agree, alekseev is the greatest of all times, and he’ll soon reach 2800
