Dec-28-03    jaime gallegos: the schach archives of Lev Gutman are highly recommended to study chess. Anybody knows where can I found them on internet ? Aug-17-04    Kaspy2: I played with him for lower saxony championship 2004, where he was the only GM. But neither of us made it... Jan-02-05    Benzol: Lev Gutman Born 26th September 1945 in Riga Latvian Champion 1972. Aug-14-05    fred lennox: For those who like flank openings with dash and daring play, this GM is worth taking a look. I often play so, and Gutman continues to be a model for my own playing. Sep-26-06    BIDMONFA: Lev Gutman GUTMAN, Lev http://www.bidmonfa.com/gutman_lev.... _ Sep-26-09    whiteshark: Is he still citizen of Israel? According to his FIDE-card he is registered for the German Federation. Even German + English wiki-Bios differ here. Probably dual citizenship. His books, always on rare chess variants, are deeply researched (maybe his brand mark) http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Gu... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Gu... Sep-26-12    LoveThatJoker: Happy Birthday, GM Gutman! LTJ
