Russian Grandmaster (1989). His early achievements in chess were the victories in 1982 at Guayaquil, in 1988 in Budapest, in 1989 in Trnava and Moscow. In 1990 he shared the 1
st prize at Dortmund Open tournament with Ashak Petrosian. The same year he was among five of the first place winners at Moscow together with Jon Speelman, Mikhail Gurevich, Alexander Khalifman and Zurab Azamiparashvili. In 1990 at Marseilles he was equal first together with Alexander Chernin. Also that year he became the winner of the USSR Championship sharing the first place with Alexander Beliavsky, Lev Yudashin, Vizmanavin.
English journalists called the 24-year-old Moscovite 'William the Conqueror' after he won, for the second time, the traditional New Year tournament in Hastings 1992. Evgeny Bareev is named after William the Conqueror because of the battle of Hastings after which the Norman Duke William I, the Conqueror, became the King of England. In 1993 he shared the first place with Judith Polgar at Hastings tournament. In 1995 in Leon he shared the second place with Alexy Shirov. The same year he was one of the winners of the Russian Championship together with Peter Svidler, Alexander Khalifman, Andrei Sokolov and Igor Glek. In 1996 he finished first in Belgrade and in Vienna Open. His other best performances were in 2000 when he lost the World Cup final match to Vishy Anand and also in 2002 with the first place at Wijk aan Zee. He won Enghien ahead of a strong field in 2003 and in 2005 he became the Russian Champion. Among his last results he emerged at the World Open (ESP) in 2008 and shared the lead at the Russian Cup 2009.
Surely, we must add that he was coaching his friend Vladimir Kramnik to beat Garry Kasparov for the Braingames World Championship in 2000 and to draw with Peter Leko at the Classical World Championship in 2004. Since then he is in charge of the best Russian juniors and in 2010 he became captain of the national team.
Bareev played for the national team (from 1990 until 1998 and came back in 2005) with which he won nearly all world team competitions.
A member of the top 10 highest world rated player since 1991, in 2001 Bareev reached the rating of 2680 which made him the fourth in the World. Best ELO: 2739 in 2003.
