Russia, Chess Player January 18, 1966
Alexander Valeryevich Khalifman is a Russian chess grandmaster. He was FIDE World Chess Champion in 1999.
Rating systems work perfectly for players who play only in round robin closed events. I think most of them are overrated. Organizers invite same people over and over because they have the same rating and their rating stays high.

Never play for the win, never play for the draw, just play chess!
