| Ron: I am glad that <JointheArmy> posted this game. It seems that 18. Nxb5!! is to open the 'a' file. Note how the rook subsequently gobbles material. |

| zdigyigy: USSR Champ in 74' and again in 90'?? you gotta be kidding me. If you looked up the definition of what a chess grandmaster is, you might find the name and games of Alexander Beliavsky. |

of this beautiful study?
1.Qf5+!! Kxf5 2.Ne7+!! Rxe7
White has only the knight against Black's superior forces, and it is placed rather passively on the 1st rank. However...
3.Ne3+ Kf6 4.Nxd5+ Kf5
5.Nxe7+ Kf6 6.Nxg8+ Kf5
7.Ne7+ Kf6 8.Nd5+ Kf5 9.g4#

| GrahamClayton: Belyavsky is one of only 3 players to have won 3 or more USSR Championships without becoming World Champion - Stein and Keres are the other two players to achive this unusual feat. |
|

|
| GrahamClayton: Beliavksy has also represented 3 different countries in Chess Olympiads - USSR, Ukraine and Slovenia. |

| diagonal: "Big Al", former World Junior Champion, World Championship Candidate and a four-time (shared) Soviet Champion, is now - after Anatoli Karpov (currently world's no. 140) dropped out - the oldest player in the Top 100 ELO-List (september 2009, it seems that FIDE is recalculating now every second month). Beliavsky (born 1953), is far from semi-retired as other players of this age and continues to work very hard as he always did with his legendary uncompromising chess - go ahead! <GrahamClayton: Beliavsky is one of only 3 players to have won 3 or more USSR Championships without becoming World Champion - Stein and Keres are the other two players to achive this unusual feat.> Korchnoi was a four-time (always unshared) USSR chess champion, reaching his best years maybe after defecting... |

| SirChrislov: He's Russian and his name is Alexander?
no way!? Happy b-day to Mr. Beliavsky. |

| paulalbert: A good name. My son is named Alexander, but not after Belyavsky or Aljechin. I highly recommend Belyavsky's book "Uncompromising Chess". Resignation Trap has all the games in a game collection on Chessgames. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to meet him. I am not sure whether he has ever played in the U.S. Paul Albert |

| TheAlchemist: <SirChrislov> He was born in Lvov, Ukraine <paulalbert> I'm sure he has many times, he plays in a lot of tournaments, I remember he played in a big tournament in Minneapolis in 2005, where he was close to winning, but lost in the last round. |

| Tabanus: Beliavsky recently won the tournament Gotth' Art Cup (Hungary): http://www.chess-results.com/tnr305..., congratulations. |

| tud: I remember in 1984 Karpov was playing Kasparov and Soviet Union did not have the number 1 and number 1 for Olympics. And Beliavski took over number 1 board and one the gold medal for board 1 and for Soviet Union. He was one of the best by then. |

| HeMateMe: In that Olympiad, both Ks were missing? A grand opportunity for the USA, we did not win? |

|
| Tabanus: <HeHateMe> For the olympiads, why not check http://www.olimpbase.org/. Now click on "Men's Olympiads" (upper left) and select 1984. This should take you here: http://www.olimpbase.org/1984/1984i... and clicking on "Final group standings" should take you here: http://www.olimpbase.org/1984/1984f... - USA ended third. |
|
| Mar-06-10 |
| HeMateMe: tx, <Tabanus>, most informative. Those were the days--USA included Nick DeFirmian (bronze medal), Dzindzi, and Walter Browne. Spassky drew 12 of 14 games, the end of Boris as a relevant tournament player. |

|
| dx9293: I'm guessing that Beliavsky is the answer to the new ChessBase "Guess Who?" quiz! <http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...; -It would have to be an "old" grandmaster (to beat people like Smyslov, Tal, and Petrosian) -Who is STILL very strong (to beat people like Anand, Ponomariov, Topalov) -Probably from the Soviet School, to be trained by Spassky and Kasparov -Who emigrated elsewhere (to have recently been the highest rated player in his country). Beliavsky plays for Slovenia. |
|
| Mar-06-10 |
| HeMateMe: Makes sense, but most of the players think it is nigel Short. Its an old photo of Short that has appeared before. |
