Dmitry Andreikin Replay Lab & Best Games

Dmitry Andreikin is a Russian grandmaster who has played under the FIDE flag since 2022. He is a World Junior Champion, two-time Russian Champion, 2013 World Cup finalist and 2014 Candidates player. Start with the at-a-glance cards and then load the World Cup replay group.

Andreikin is page-worthy because he reached the World Cup final, qualified for the Candidates, won the Russian Championship twice and scored elite Grand Prix results. He also has strong rapid and blitz credentials. Use the replay lab to connect those achievements with model games.

The strongest hooks are 2010 World Junior Champion, Russian Champion in 2012 and 2018, 2013 World Cup runner-up, 2014 Candidates player, Tashkent Grand Prix winner and elite rapid/blitz specialist. These give the page both classical and fast-chess appeal. Use the career cards before choosing a replay.

The supplied profile gives Andreikin’s peak rating as 2743 in June 2016. It also gives a June 2026 rating of 2710 and a peak ranking of world number 18 in January 2015. Use the Grand Prix and Candidates replay routes for the elite-period context.

Andreikin became a grandmaster in 2007. His major breakthrough years followed with the 2010 World Junior title and 2012 Russian Championship win. Use the Russian Championship and fast-attacking replays for early peak examples.

Andreikin finished runner-up at the 2013 World Cup in Tromso. That result qualified him for the 2014 Candidates Tournament. Use the World Cup replay group, especially the Dreev and Svidler games.

The included World Cup games are Dreev–Andreikin and Andreikin–Svidler. They give both Black-side counterplay and White-side pressure from the same run. Use the World Cup replay group and Svidler diagram.

Andreikin–Aronian from the 2014 Candidates is included. It is a major page hook because Aronian was one of the world’s elite players at the time. Use the Aronian diagram and replay.

Andreikin–Caruana from the 2014 Baku Grand Prix is the key Grand Prix example in this replay set. It shows conversion against a world-class opponent. Use the Caruana diagram and replay.

Andreikin–Sjugirov from the 2012 Russian Championship Superfinal is included. It is a sharp attacking game that fits his first Russian title year. Use the Sjugirov diagram and replay.

Andreikin–Karjakin from the 2010 World Blitz Championship is the quickest replay. It ends in only ten moves and shows tactical alertness. Use the Karjakin diagram and quick replay route.

Predojevic–Andreikin is the main Hasselbacken Black-side diagram game. It connects to his 2016 Hasselbacken Open victory and shows practical counterplay. Use the Predojevic diagram and replay.

Yes, six Hasselbacken games are included after de-duplication. They show both White-side conversion and Black-side pressure from his 2016 tournament win. Use the Hasselbacken replay group.

Every unique legal game score was included once. The repeated Predojevic game appears once in the replay lab. Use the grouped selector to avoid duplicate study routes.

Andreikin’s style is practical, resilient and tactically sharp. He is comfortable in quiet-looking systems that suddenly turn into forcing play. Use the Aronian, Caruana and Sjugirov diagrams to see that pattern.

Club players can learn how to convert initiative without over-forcing, and how to use small tactical details in apparently quiet openings. His games are useful because many start from playable, non-fashionable systems. Start with Sjugirov, Karjakin or Svidler.

Advanced players can study elite-level practicality: endgame conversion, knockout match pressure and low-risk attacking setups. The Caruana and Aronian games are especially useful for advanced study. Use the Grand Prix and Candidates replay routes.

A quick route is Karjakin, Sjugirov and Khenkin. That gives a blitz miniature, a Russian Championship attack and a compact Dortmund attacking win. Use the adviser’s fast attacking route.

A deep route is Caruana, Aronian, Svidler and Predojevic. That covers elite conversion, Candidates technique, World Cup pressure and Hasselbacken counterplay. Use the diagram lab before each replay.

The focused opening links are Caro-Kann, English Opening, Trompowsky Attack, Sicilian Defense and Pirc Defense. They match recurring or high-value structures from the supplied games. Use the opening cards after one replay.

Andreikin’s wins against Sjugirov, Dreev and Khenkin all touch Caro-Kann structures. They also give sharp attacking examples rather than quiet theory only. Use the Caro-Kann card after the Sjugirov replay.

The Karjakin blitz miniature begins with 1.c4 and is one of the page’s most clickable quick-study games. The English route helps turn that miniature into opening follow-up. Use the English card after the Karjakin replay.

Andreikin used 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 against Aronian and Svidler in major events. That makes the Trompowsky one of the most distinctive page links. Use the Trompowsky card after Aronian or Svidler.

Several supplied games are Sicilian structures, including Dominguez–Andreikin and multiple Hasselbacken games. They show Andreikin’s practical Black-side approach. Use the Sicilian card after the Dominguez replay.

Predojevic–Andreikin begins with a Modern/Pirc-style setup and ends as a useful Black-side model. It also connects to the Hasselbacken win. Use the Pirc card after the Predojevic diagram.

Yes, the page covers rapid and blitz strength as part of Andreikin’s modern profile without letting it dominate the classical achievements. His World Cup, Candidates and Russian Championship results remain the backbone. Use the Karjakin blitz replay as the fast-play entry point.

The index should describe Andreikin as World Junior Champion, two-time Russian Champion, World Cup finalist, Candidates player, Grand Prix winner and elite rapid/blitz specialist. That is concise and leaves details for the full page. Use the replay lab on the full page for the chess examples.

Andreikin has strong credentials in both, but his classical record is strong enough to lead the page. The World Cup final, Candidates appearance and Grand Prix success are the main evergreen hooks. Use the rapid/blitz material as a secondary route.

Andreikin–Svidler is a strong knockout-match example from the 2013 World Cup. It shows controlled pressure against an elite opponent. Use the Svidler diagram and replay.

Andreikin–Caruana is the clearest elite conversion example in this set. The passed c-pawn finish makes it a memorable technical model. Use the Caruana diagram and replay.
