Ginger GM - Chess Grandmaster Simon Williams

1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Alex Holowczak, Peter Dengler, Jim Hollingsworth, Iraj Roozdar and everyone else who helped with this issue.

The World Chess Championships finished tied 6-6 after all the classcial games. Today's game was a damp squib as Carlsen clearly had no ambitions to win as white today. A sign he's confident of his chances on Wednesday? Coincidentally the tie-breaks are on his birthday. We'll soon see.

Today we had the sad news of the passing of Mark Taimanov at the age of 90. The golden Soviet post-war generation has almost gone and it's perhaps time for us to reflect on their gigantic contribution to the game. At the other end of the age range is the senseless death of GM Urii Eliseev from a fall from a 12th floor balcony at the early age of 20. He liked a form of urban climbing.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

28) 20th OIBM 2016

The 20th OIBM tournament took place 29th October to 6th November 2016. Alex Areshchenko edged out Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu, GN Gopal, Sergei Zhigalko, Babu Lalith, Abhijeet Gupta and Konstantin Landa on tie-break after all scored 7.5/9. A bulletin for the remaining rounds now available. I also discovered an error in the identification of a player in my previous files.

An intriguing question remains about the game Kozul vs Kveinys from round 7 has been solved. I give the game in two parts as it involves illegal castling.

39) Mark Taimanov 1926-2016

Mark Taimanov has died at the age of 90. Taimanov was both a leading Soviet Grandmaster and a concert pianist.

Taimanov was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine 7 February 1926 but moved to St Petersburg aged 6 months. He died 28th November 2016 in St Petersburg.

Taimanov became a Grandmaster in 1952 and played in the Candidates tournament of 1953 finishing tied for 8th. He tied twice for the Soviet title losing a playoff to Botvinnik in 1952 and winning the title in 1956 ahead of Averbakh and Spassky. In total he played 23 Soviet Championships tied with Efim Geller.

Taimanov qualified for the Candidates again in 1971 where he famously faced Bobby Fischer and lost 6-0. For a time he was punished by the Soviet authorities but Fischer's 6-0 vs Bent Larsen meant this didn't last.

Taimanov had important variations of the Sicilian and Nimzo-Indian named after him and his games are well worth investigating.

Late in life Taimanov remarried and was the father of twins at the age of 78.
