morozevich has been one of the best chess players in the world for nearly a decade. he is famous for employing unusual openings, for example the chigorin defense (1. d4 d5 2. c4 nc6), and more recently the albin countergambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5); both systems are hardly ever seen at the top level. he is also well known for preferring complicated rather than clear positions. perhaps because of his style, which produces relatively few draws, morozevich is popular among chess fans.
