Timeline

1976

Pyotr Veniaminovich Svidler (Пётр Вениами́нович Сви́длер; born 17 June 1976), commonly known as Peter Svidler, is a Russian chess grandmaster and an eight-time Russian Chess Champion who now frequently commentates on chess.

1989

He made his tournament debut in 1989, scoring 5 points from 11 games at the USSR Junior Championship in Pinsk.

One of those sessions was during the Baleares Open in Mallorca in December 1989.

He transferred to the Dvoretsky–Yusupov School upon the former's closure.

Mark Dvoretsky said that Svidler had to get written consent from Kasparov's mother in order to avoid accusations of taking students from that school.

1990

He scored 7/11 for tied eighth place in the USSR Juniors in 1990 and 5/9 in Oakland.

1991

He became an International Master in 1991 and the following year tied for first place with Ragim Gasimov and Vadim Zvjaginsev in the last USSR Junior Championship in Yurmala, scoring 8/11.

Svidler twice attended the Botvinnik–Kasparov School.

1993

In 1993, he started work with coach and International Master Andrei Lukin.

1994

Eight-time Russian Champion (1994, 1995, 1997, 2003, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2017), he has represented Russia at the Chess Olympiad ten times (1994–2010; 2014) winning five team gold medals, two team silvers and an individual bronze.

1994 was his breakout year, winning the Russian Championship held in Elista with 8/11, winning the under-18 section of the World Youth Championship in Szeged, debuting for Russia at the Chess Olympiad in Moscow, scoring 5.5/8 on second reserve board, and gaining his three Grandmaster norms.

Svidler also won the Linares Anibal Open, running alongside the invitational event and tied for first with four other players at the St Petersberg Chigorin Memorial.

The short-lived Professional Chess Association in October 1994 ranked him world number 165, rated 2542.

1995

In January 1995, Svidler broke into the top 100 players rated by Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) at number 86 with a rating of 2585.

He started with 0/3 at the Vidra Memorial in Haifa but recovered to 6/11 for tied fourth, shared second with 7/9 in April's New York Open, then won the St Petersburg Championship in April.

At the Novgorod Open in May–June he scored 6/9 for eighth place on tiebreak.

He tied for first place with three players at Novosibirsk.

A last round victory against Alexander Morozevich secured his second consecutive Russian Championship on tiebreak from five players with 7.5/11.

Svidler rounded off his year placing fourth with 6.5/11 at the strong Groningen Invitational.

His success pushed him to 33rd in the world rankings and third strongest junior and 2635 rating.

1996

In 1996, Svidler scored 2.5/5 for fourth place at the Kloosters event in Ter Apel, failed to qualify for the quarter finals of the PCA Rapidplay in April, came fourth with 6.5/11 at Yerevan in May and fifth on tiebreaks with 3.5/7 at Vidra Memorial.

At the Tal Blitz Memorial just before the Olympiad, he was mid-table with 9.5/18.

1997

Svidler won the Torshavn Open in February 1997, half a point ahead of Ivan Sokolov with 7.5/9, and in March was sixth on tiebreak, with Vladimir Epishin and Valery Loginov scoring 5.5/9 in the St Petersburg Championship, before slipping to eighth place with 5/11 at a closed event in the same city.

He came back with team silver and board-three bronze medals at the European Team Championships, England, victorious on tiebreaks.

His form continued into the Russian Championship (held as a knockout format) where he won his third title after a long match against Evgeny Bareev, decided after a third pair of tiebreak games.

Along the way he defeated Vladimir Malakhov, Ruslan Sherbakov, Semen Dvoirys and Alexey Dreev in the semi-finals.

In July–August he tied for second place with 5.5/9 in Bad Homburg.

Svidler was a signatory of a letter published in September which protested the decision of FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov to change the format of the World Championship.

1998

Under the proposals, Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov would be seeded directly to the semi-finals of the FIDE World Chess Championship 1998, Kasparov's refusal to participate meant that Karpov was seeded to the final.

Svidler learned to play chess when he was six years old.

His first trainer was Viacheslav Stjazhkin.

Svidler also tied for first at Dortmund, Aeroflot Open and Karpov Poikovsky.

In a 2011 question & answer session, Svidler said of Lukin, "The real breakthrough, however, coincided very closely with the moment I started to work with Andrey Mikhailovich Lukin – without him I really might have come to nothing."

His 8.5/11 contribution, including wins in his first four games for Russia, helped win team gold as well as individual bronze on board four at the 32nd Chess Olympiad, but at Fontys Tilburg a couple of losses saw him drop to tenth place on tiebreak with 4.5/11.

At Groningen in November, he scored 5.5/11 for seventh place.
