  • Morozevich is back!

    After an almost a full year hiatus from tournament chess GM Alexander Morozevich is back! He will be playing in the very strong Reggio Emilia tournament in Italy:

    Today it was round one but Morozevich couldn't get out of the Moscow airport due to the bad weather, so he took a train to St. Petersburg and flew out of there. He didn't make it to round 1 so he will play his 1st round opponent-Navarra on New Year's (break day).

      Does anybody know what Morozevich was doing when he wasn't playing chess? Is he working or going to school?

        response:
        I mailed him mid this year asking and he answered that he wanted to step back and meanwhile concentrate on a few other areas, but didn't specify what.

          He seemed to take a really long break, last year he only played in the world team championship which was in January and then in the Moscow Blitz championship (which he won) in August.
