Chess career

Bareev was world under 16 champion in 1982.[4] In 1992 he graduated from the chess faculty of the Moscow Institute of Physical Culture.[4]

His greatest success was winning the elite Corus Tournament at Wijk aan Zee in 2002. At this event he scored 9/13 points, ahead of top players such as Alexander Grischuk, Michael Adams, Alexander Morozevich, and Peter Leko.[5]

Bareev was a three-time winner of the Premier Tournament at the annual Hastings Chess Congress in 1990/91,[6] 1991/92[7] and 1992/93, shared with Judit Polgár;[8] the event was then still staged as an invitational tournament in round-robin format. He also won the strong Enghien-les-Bains tournament held in France in 2003.[9][10] In a man versus machine contest in January 2003, Bareev took on the chess program HIARCS in a four game-match: all four games were drawn.[11]

He was a second to Vladimir Kramnik in the Classical World Chess Championship 2000 against Garry Kasparov. With Ilya Levitov, Bareev wrote From London to Elista, a book on the championship as well as Kramnik's subsequent championship matches against Peter Leko and Veselin Topalov; it received the Book of the Year award from the English Chess Federation in 2008.[12][13]

Bareev was a finalist of the World Cup 2000, where he lost to Viswanathan Anand,[14] and of the Rapid World Cup 2001, where he lost to Kasparov.

His most notable participation in World Chess Championship events was the Candidates Tournament for the Classical World Chess Championship 2004 in Dortmund 2002. Bareev reached the semifinals, but lost his match against Topalov.[15]

At the Chess World Cup 2005, Bareev qualified for the Candidates Tournament for the World Chess Championship 2007, played in May–June 2007. He won his match against Judit Polgár (+2-1=3), but was eliminated after losing his second-round match to Peter Leko (+0-2=3).

In 2010, he tied for first with Konstantin Chernyshov, Lê Quang Liêm and Ernesto Inarkiev in the Moscow Open.[16]

In 2015, Bareev, who had moved to Toronto in 2006,[17] transferred his FIDE membership from the Russian to the Canadian Chess Federation.[18][19]

In 2019, he won the Canadian Zonal Championship,[20] thereby qualifying for the FIDE World Cup. He lost to Rustam Kasimdzhanov in the first round.[21] Bareev shared equal first with Razvan Preotu at the 2021 Zonal Championship.[22] At the World Cup, he defeated Daniel Quizon in the first round, but then lost to Aryan Tari.[23]
