Evgeny Yurievich Tomashevsky (Russian: Евгений Юрьевич Томашевский; born 1 July 1987 in Saratov)[1] is a Russian chess Grandmaster.

Career

Tomashevsky won the Russian under-10 championship in 1997 and the Russian U18 championship in 2001, at the age of 13 years,[2] in Rybinsk with a score of 9.5 points from 11 games.[3] In 2004 he was the runner-up in the World U18 championship.[4]

In 2007, he came second in the Aeroflot Open.[5]

In 2009, Tomashevsky won the 10th European Individual Chess Championship after tie-breaks. The decisive match against Vladimir Malakhov went into armageddon stadium, where Malakhov blundered a rook in a winning position.[6]

He was a member of the gold medal winning Russian team at the World Team Chess Championship 2009 in Bursa.[7]

In 2011, he tied for first place with Nikita Vitiugov and Lê Quang Liêm in the Aeroflot Open, placing third on tiebreak.[8]

He was one of the seconds to Boris Gelfand for the World Chess Championship 2012.[9]

In February 2015, Tomashevsky took clear first place in the Tbilisi leg of the FIDE Grand Prix 2014–15 scoring 8/11, 1.5 points ahead of second-placed Dmitry Jakovenko, with no losses and wins over Baadur Jobava, Alexander Grischuk, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Rustam Kasimdzhanov.[10] His performance rating in this tournament was 2916.[11]

In August 2015, he won the Russian Championship Superfinal in Chita with 7.5/11.[12]

Partly for being a mostly positional player, partly for wearing glasses and being well-educated, Tomashevsky earned himself the nickname "Professor" among the chessplayers.[2]
