that I am hearing about?
someone said he beat shane and they think he can beat everyone
 
He can play. No doubt about it.

He did beat Shane at least once, Shane traveled to Russia to play and when he got there there was a rule twist...

I don't think you wanna bet Shane beat him 7.5 of 10 sets. You don't want any of that, it is true.

Russian chinakhov. Forgive my spelling, been a long time since I slept with a Russian.
 
Somebody go over to deans house and take him shopping so he can get youtuve on the tv.

Enough great pool on there to outlast us all.

It's spelled 'Ruslan', but you are forgiven. He's been a big force in the European pool-scene for a real long time now, I'm surprised you Americans are hearing of him just now. Is this the first time he's been in the states maybe?

No. Last year he won one of Darren´s World Series of 8-ball competitions. He played like animal there.

Most of us heard of him quite some time ago. I think he has been here before but I’m not sure. Great player either way.

Ah yeah, that's right.

Few years back I saw him play against Oliver Ortmann in a 10ft 10ball challenge and they were both missing balls like they were just some league players. Which is not to say anything negative about his capabilities on a pool table, it's just a memory that sprung to mind that stunned me at the time.
I do believe he has been in an extra stellar form lately.
 
His real name is Ruslan Jurjewitsch Tschinachow :eek:

But just goes by Ruslan Chinahov for a english translation :)

Great young player just won the Texas Open 10 Ball Championship over a stacked field of top guys.

Steve smith aka Lizard told me that he was by far the best player he had ever seen

incidentally,Steve just had a heart attack and has seen better days on another subject

Haha...that was auto correct that said Russian. The first name I knew.

Looks like a jerry in that pic from texas.

Mike, I watched him play Oscar Dominguez in that 3 day marathon out in California. He is an exceptional player. I had also seen him play SVB in the Moscow Challenge. His FargoRate must be pretty high with all this tournament play he's getting?

Yes, he is world #43 at 783, about even with Sky Woodward.
 
Thanks, Mike. He's going to move up some more I would think. I believe he is coming to Louisiana to play the next three tournaments. I'd love to see him go up to Four Bears and play that tournament, too!!
