1977

Emil Sutovsky (born 19 September 1977) is an Israeli chess player.

1996

He was awarded the title Grandmaster by FIDE in 1996.

Sutovsky is the FIDE CEO since 2022.

He achieved notable successes by winning the World Junior Chess Championship in Medellín in 1996, finishing first at the double round-robin VAM Hoogeveen Tournament in 1997 (ahead of Judit Polgár, Loek van Wely, and Vasily Smyslov) and winning Hastings 2000 (ahead of Alexey Dreev, Ivan Sokolov and Jonathan Speelman).

Sutovsky represented Israel in nine Chess Olympiads from 1996 to 2014.

This game was highly praised by FIDE World Champion Viswanathan Anand, who picked this game as the best chess game he had ever seen.

In 2003, he tied for first with Alexander Beliavsky in the Vidmar Memorial.

His superior tie-break in the latter gave him first place (ahead of top players such as Aronian, Teimour Radjabov, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Ponomariov, Sergey Karjakin, et al.) and with it an invitation to the prestigious Dortmund tournament later in the year, in which he beat classical world champion Vladimir Kramnik, scoring 3.5−5.5.
