What are they saying about GM Alexander Morozevich?

"Morozevich is a bright player; I like how he
plays. This is active chess: only forward! Sometimes luck is on his side,
sometimes it is not. It is not boring to watch his games." —
Vladimir Kramnik (‘64-Chess Review’, No. 2, 2000)
"Morozevich is a fresh player with very original
thinking. He makes many mistakes, but plays with tremendous ingenuity. It is a
pleasure to watch his play." — Nigel Short (‘64-Chess Review’,
No. 2, 2000)
"I know that he makes quick draws very rare and he is
an original player with great fighting spirit. I like that he plays for
win against everybody." - GM Zoltán Gyimesi (e-mail,
Oct. 2000)
"Morozevich is one of the most
talented players in the world, a genius of the game of Chess. I first watched
him in person in the Lloyds Bank 1994 wherein he scored an incredible score of
9.5 / 10, drawing only against Tkachiev and beating several GMs. One of the
most enterprising players, too." - GM Thipsay (e-mail, Oct. 2000)
"He is the biggest talent in modern
chess, with extremely original openings. He has big chances for World Champion
title." GM Adrian Mikhalchishin: (23rd October 2000)
"Alexander is one of the most
original players in the top ranks today. His youth means that he has
every right to try and fight for the highest title in the future." GM
Yasser Seirawan (13th October 2000)
"I first saw Morozevich at Hyeres
open in 1992. Already then his bright talent was evident. His game against GM
Tony Kosten earned his a nickname ‘modern classic’. I always believed in
his great chess future." GM Dmitry Komarov (4th October
2000)
