Constantine Aseev, perhaps the most famous among grandmasters tseytnotchik high. It would seem that he has everything - great schools, excellent understanding of the position, deep erudition debut, foolish thirst for fight. In many important positions at Aseeva debut (as a sign of top-class chess player) has his own opinion, dissenting, and often just the opposite conclusions of the official theory. In many schemes debut (take the attack Rauser for black), he became a real classic.

Who knows to what heights would have been able to climb Aseev if not for the age-old scourge - lack of time. Only Constantine knows how many promising position he lost in time trouble. In Access strikingly coexist persistent doubts in choosing course with rare maximalism. Others, feeling the lack of time, try to play stouter, ponadezhneye, but not such Aseev. In any position he wants to do is objectively strong move, although very often the testimony of his own hours to this, alas, did not have. But Constantine remains true to his creative credo, but it is worth a lot. Not so long ago, Aseev confidently took the tournament championship of personal distance in Europe and was picked for the FIDE world championship. It is hoped that this competition will be for Constantine fartovym. He deserved it!
