Artemiev Profile

Like Daniil Dubov, mentioned in the preceding post, Vladislav Artemiev is an exceptionally strong and talented Russian junior who has stagnated somewhat the past couple of years. He is still quite young, however, and has time to work his way to higher levels. And if his blitz skills are any indication at all, then he's headed for greatness as a chess player - he's #3 in the world in blitz, ahead of Hikaru Nakamura and everyone else in the world except for Ding Liren and Magnus Carlsen. Here's a profile of the youngster.
