Pavel Eljanov

Ukrainian chess player

In the history of chess, Pavel Eljanov is one of the names the record keeps returning to.

The record lists Pavel Eljanov as Ukrainian chess player.

Pavel Eljanov was born at Kharkiv in 1983. His recorded nationality is Ukraine.

Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.

Over the course of the career Pavel Eljanov turned out for SV Wattenscheid, SK Baden and Paris Chess Club.

He competed at 36th Chess Olympiad, 37th Chess Olympiad and 38th Chess Olympiad.

In sport the margin between the remembered and the forgotten is often a fraction of a second.

Formal honours included the Order of Merit (Ukraine), 3rd class.

That the career was built from Ukraine matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.

Pavel Eljanov is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
