Aside from his grandfather, no one in his family played chess.[4] At the age of seven, Alekseenko played his first tournament, the St. Petersburg U8 Championship. At the European Youth Chess Championship, he was the U10 champion in 2007, and the U16 champion in 2013.[4] At the World U14 Chess Championship, Alekseenko won bronze in 2010, and gold in 2011.[4][7] He then won silver and bronze in 2012 and 2013, respectively, at the World U16 Chess Championship.[4]  Alekseenko achieved the necessary norms for the grandmaster title in 2012, but did not reach a FIDE rating of 2500 necessary for the granting of the title until 2015.[4] He competed in the 2015 World U18 Chess Championship held in Greece from 24 October to 6 November, placing second with 8\u00bd\/11 (+8\u20132=1}, one point behind winner Masoud Mosadeghpour.[8] Alekseenko won the Chigorin Memorial in 2015.[4] He repeated the success in 2016[9] and 2017.[10]2018\u20132019[edit]Alekseenko won the 2017\/18 Rilton Cup\u00a0[sv].[11] In February 2018, he participated in the Aeroflot Open. He finished 13th out of 92,[12] scoring 5\u00bd\/9 (+4\u20132=3).[13] In March, Alekseenko competed in the European Individual Chess Championship. He placed 34th,[14] scoring 7\/11 (+6\u20133=2).[15] He competed in the European Championship again in 2019, placing 63rd with 6\u00bd\/11 (+5\u20133=3).[16]Although he failed to qualify for the Chess World Cup 2019 through European Championship placement, Alekseenko was chosen as a wildcard nominee by the organiser of the tournament. He defeated Nguy\u1ec5n Ng\u1ecdc Tr\u01b0\u1eddng S\u01a1n and Johan-Sebastian Christiansen in rounds one and two, then eliminated the 17th-seed Pentala Harikrishna in the third round.[17] He faced the 1st-seed Ding Liren in the fourth round. Alekseenko drew both of the classical games but lost in the rapid tiebreaks.[18]At the 2019 European Team Chess Championship held in Batumi from 24 October to 2 November, Alekseenko represented Russia on the third board. He scored 4\u00bd\/8 (+2\u20131=5) as Russia won gold. Alekseenko defeated Kacper Piorun of Poland in the final round, which proved decisive to Russia’s first-place finish.[19]In December 2019, he competed in the World Rapid and Blitz Championships. He placed 57th in the rapid with 8\u00bd\/15 (+6\u20134=5),[20] and 71st in the blitz with 11\u00bd\/21 (+8\u20136=7).[21]2020\u20132021 Candidates[edit]At the FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament 2019 held in October on the Isle of Man, Alekseenko took third place on tie breaks with 7\u00bd\/11 (+4\u20130=7), half a point behind winner Wang Hao and runner-up Fabiano Caruana.[22] Alekseenko thus became eligible to be chosen as the wildcard nominee for the Candidates Tournament 2020 as the next-highest placed finisher at the Grand Swiss, apart from Caruana (who had already qualified for the Candidates).[23]On 23 December 2019, Alekseenko was announced as the wildcard nominee for the Candidates Tournament, originally scheduled to be held in Yekaterinburg from 17 March to 3 April 2020.[24]Peter Svidler acted as Alekseenko’s second during that tournament.[25] On 26 March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was suspended. With seven rounds played, Alekseenko was tied for last with Ding on a score of 2\u00bd\/7.[26] After the resumption of the Candidates Tournament 2020\u201321 in April 2021, Alekseenko returned to Yekaterinburg and played the final seven games. He finished in seventh place with 5\u00bd\/14.[27]References[edit]^ Russian Grandmasters Leave Russia: ‘I Have No Sympathy For This War’, chess.com, 1 May 2022^ FIDE Condemns Military Action; Takes Measures Against Russia, Belarus, chess.com, 28 February 2022^ McGourty, Colin (9 February 2020). “Alekseenko: “The Candidates wild card should be abolished”“. chess24.^ a b c d e f g Derakshani, Dorsa (29 October 2015). “Kirill Alekseenko wins Chigorin Memorial”.
