Morozevich, Alexander

modern era

Alexander Morozevich rose to No. 2 in the world in 2008 through an unorthodox and fearlessly aggressive style that produced remarkably few draws. A two-time Russian Champion and two-time World Championship Candidate, he was beloved by fans for his willingness to play the sharpest positions with obscure openings like the Chigorin Defense and Albin Countergambit at the highest level.
