2011, he tied for 2nd-3rd with Dmitry Andreikin in the Baku Open. After becoming the ACP President, Sutovsky started playing less often. In 2015 he won the prestigious Biel Masters Open Tournament. In 2016 he won the strong Nona 75 – ACP Open in Tbilisi. In April 2017 Sutovsky won the traditional Karpov Tournament in Poikovsky showing the performance of 2902 – statistically the best result in his entire career. Olympiad career Sutovsky represented Israel in nine Chess Olympiads from 1996 to 2014. In the 2010 Chess Olympiad he took the gold medal for the best individual performance on board two and showed the highest TPR (Tournament Performance Rating) of 2895, among all the participants of the Olympiad. Playing style Sutovsky's uncompromising style has attracted a lot of attention: his sacrificial victory over Ilya Smirin in the 2002 Israeli Chess Championship was voted the best game of issue 86 of Chess Informant, and his victory over Daniel Gormally at Gibraltar 2005 earned him the prize for best game. This game was highly praised by FIDE World Champion Viswanathan Anand, who picked this game as the best chess game he had ever seen. Since 2006, he has his own column − "Jeu créateur" ("Creative chess") in major French chess magazine Europe Échecs. Sutovsky virtually always plays 1.e4 with White, occasionally testing unfashionable or old-fashioned openings such as the Two Knights Defence, the King's Gambit, and the Scotch Game. With Black, he usually plays the Grünfeld Defence or King's Indian Defence against 1.d4, and Sicilian Defence or Ruy Lopez against 1.e4.
