Kirill Shevchenko: Vom Schach-Wunderkind zum Großmeister

Kirill Shevchenko wurde am 22. September 2002 in Kiew, Ukraine, geboren. Seine Schachkarriere begann früh, und er erlangte 2016 den Titel des Internationalen Meisters. Bereits ein Jahr später, im Alter von 14 Jahren und neun Monaten, wurde ihm der Großmeistertitel verliehen, was ihn zu einem der jüngsten Großmeister der Schachgeschichte macht.

Im November 2021 gewann Shevchenko das Lindores Abbey Blitz-Turnier in Riga, Lettland, mit 14 von 18 möglichen Punkten und ließ dabei namhafte Spieler wie Fabiano Caruana und Arjun Erigaisi hinter sich. Im selben Monat trug er als Spieler am vierten Brett maßgeblich zum Gewinn der Goldmedaille der Ukraine bei der Mannschaftseuropameisterschaft bei.

Im Jahr 2023 wechselte Shevchenko vom ukrainischen zum rumänischen Schachverband. Mit einer aktuellen FIDE-Wertung von 2653 Punkten (Stand: März 2025) rangiert er auf Platz 75 der Weltrangliste und belegt den zweiten Platz in Rumänien.

Kommentierte Partie Kirill Shevchenko gegen Vincent Keymer:

Im Oktober 2024 wurde Shevchenko während der spanischen Mannschaftsmeisterschaft des Betrugs beschuldigt. Nach Vorwürfen der Nutzung eines Mobiltelefons während seiner Partien gegen Francisco Vallejo und Bassem Amin wurde er aus dem Turnier ausgeschlossen. Seine Ergebnisse in diesen Runden wurden annulliert, und die Partien als verloren gewertet.

Die FIDE weitet die Sperre bis zum Mai aus - oder bis eine endgültige Entscheidung fällt, wie mit diesem Fall zu verfahren ist:

Based on the preliminary investigation by FPL, that established a prima facie case against GM Kirill Shevchenko, EDC has suspended GM Shevchenko for a period of 75 days from today, i.e. until 1 January 2025, from any official activities as a player.
The EDC is prepared to reconsider its decision regarding the provisional suspension if a motivated request to that effect is received from GM Shevchenko at any time within the next two (2) weeks.
Meanwhile, FPL will open a full-fledged investigation into the incident.
Lausanne, October 17, 2024
Following the incidents that occurred at the Honor Division of the Spanish Club Chess Championship, which involved Grandmaster Kirill Shevchenko (FIDE ID: 14129574), the FIDE Fair Play Commission immediately initiated preliminary investigations, which led the sole investigator, Vincent Geeraets, to be “comfortably satisfied that a prima facie case has been established against GM Shevchenko”.
The measure is deemed to be necessary “because it would be inappropriate for a player of GM Shevchenko’s caliber to take part in tournaments or competitions under the auspices of FIDE while he is under investigation for a cheating offense (“use of phone”).” The request, which was formally presented by FPL Chair Yuri Garrett to EDC Chair Yolander Persaud, is strictly based on the FIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Code in force: “Art. 12.1e of the Ethics and Disciplinary Code stipulates that a player may be prohibited from participating in chess activities during an investigation. Relevant is art. 12.4a, which indicates that a provisional suspension requires that a prima facie case can be made against the player in question. Art 18.2 of the EDC Procedural Rules indicates that in cases of urgency, such a ban may be imposed directly without the party concerned having been heard beforehand.”
It is of paramount importance to highlight that “Such a provisional suspension, however, would not indicate that GM Shevchenko is guilty of a cheating offense. This needs to be carefully investigated on the assumption that the player is innocent.” To this effect, an Investigatory Panel chaired by Vincent Geeraets has been appointed.
