Evgeniy Solozhenkin

Evgeniy Solozhenkin (born July 31, 1966 in Saint Petersburg) is a Russian chess Grandmaster.

Solozhenkin accused Bibisara Assaubayeva on several internet articles of cheating during the World Youth U14 Championship in Uruguay in September 2017.

The FIDE Ethics Commission suspended Solozhenkin for making unsubstantiated allegations of cheating.

A group of grandmasters wrote an open letter in support of Solozhenkin.

The Moscow Appellate Court ordered Solozhenkin to apologize, disavow his allegations to the media, delete the defamatory articles, and pay a compensatory sum of 100 thousand rubles.
