We added two players to Study, with 2,204 of their wins in the archive. Each player has a portrait, a biography and a list of notable games with a note on each one.

Sokolov won the Yugoslav Championship in 1988 and the Dutch Championship in 1995 and 1998, and beat Garry Kasparov at Wijk aan Zee in 1999. Malakhov won the World Under-14 Championship in 1993 and reached the semifinal of the 2009 World Cup.
