I found this at chessgames.com:

"Apr-21-09 [a post by...] Whitehat1963: Jakovenko's overall record
since 2006 (according to the database) playing white in games that
have lasted at least 55 moves:

+15-1=16

As a basis for comparison, using the same criteria:

Topalov: +17-4=19
Kramnk: +15-4=10
Anand: +18-5=18
Svidler: +11-2=17
Carlsen: +30-19=38
Radjabov: +10-5=14
Shirov: +9-3=9
Wang Yue: +20-7=25
Ponomariov: +8-4=16
Kamsky: +11-12=14
Pengxiang: +8-0=4".

That is an impressive record ..

Look at Carlsens games , lot of his games go past the 55 move mark
..Start watching him in the second half of tournaments and see if that
wears him down mentally..I belive he will be a future Worl Champ.

A Statistic that is very telling for Kamsky. Wonder if he knows about
this.

What was the average rating of his opponents? Jakovenko hasn't played
in many supertournaments, i.e. against a steady diet of 2700+ players.

It's not a valid "basis for comparison" when most of the above players
were competing in supertournaments and Jakovenko was not.
