Career
In 2006, he was a member of the Ukrainian national youth team, which won the U-16 Chess Olympiad in Turkey. His biggest success so far has been his victory, in February 2010, of the colossal Cappelle-la-Grande Open in France, ahead of 82 Grandmasters and 61 International masters (652 players), with 7.5 points out of 9.[1]
In 2010, Yaroslav scored 8/11 (7 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws) to win the Young Stars of the World tournament, held in Kirishi, Russia.
In the 2011 World Cup, held in Khanty-Mansiysk, he caused a sensation by eliminating two super-grandmasters, Pavel Eljanov and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov in the first and third rounds. Eventually he was knocked out by Czech super-GM David Navara.[2]
In May 2015, Zherebukh switched his affiliation from Ukraine to the United States. In 2016 he qualified to compete in the 2017 U.S. Championship[3] where he scored a notable win in the seventh round against world #3 and reigning US Champion Fabiano Caruana.
In 2020, Zherebukh won the Chicago Chess Center 3rd Jane Addams Memorial.[4]
Zherebukh has stated that Akiba Rubinstein is his favourite chess player, "because of his perfect technique and very rich understanding of chess."[5]
