 | | BLarsen1967: <kingfu> Well said!! -- It appears some ppl only 'remember' M.T. for his disastrous 0-6 result vs Fischer. That of course does show the unquestionable superiority of Mr. Robert James.. -- But Taimanov was a real Chess Hero in his own right,not a 'weak' player,and indeed a multi-talented human being,he even did have a sense for Female Beauty - More Power to Mark Taimanov ! |

 | | kingfu: I have an opening named after me.
It is 0-1.
Or perhaps NN.
Love that avatar!
As Miles Davis was to Music.
So Bobby Fischer was to Chess. |

| Feb-15-11 | | polarmis: He's still in fine form, and I've translated some of the interviews he gave for his 85th birthday last week: http://www.chessintranslation.com/2... He talks a lot about how chess has changed, and, in contrast to Spassky, has nice things to say about Nakamura! |

 | | alexmagnus: His twin children are 6 years old? Sorry for cynism, but is he really the father? I wonder what the record for the oldest father ever is... |

 | | stoy: I have read that Taimanov fathered children 57 years apart. Is this true? |
|
| Mar-23-11 | | polarmis: Yes, click on the link 4 posts up! :) |

 | | Shams: <HeMateMe> God, that's terrible and I wish I'd said it. |
|
| Jul-19-11 | | ozmikey: <HeMateMe> My God, I would be utterly ashamed of a pun like that...which wouldn't prevent me from saying it. ;-) |

 | | tamar: Or you could say he had Taimanov for Love |
|

| | HeMateMe: Must be some sort of record. Only Tony Randell fathered a kid later in life, and he was already dead at the time. |

| Aug-03-11 | | rapidcitychess: <At least I still have my music> -Taimanov
I wonder if he wrote some blues afterwards. |
|
| Feb-07-12 | | Penguincw: Happy 86th birthday GM Taimanov! Hopefully, if you were to play Fischer again (impossible), you won't be crushed 6-0. :) |

 | | TheFocus: I just bought <Taimanov's Selected Games> last week. Good book with some deep annotations. |
|

 | | parisattack: Its a 'sleeper' for sure <TheFocus>. I have a Russian book on Taimanov with a picture of him playing the piano, Smyslov with one hand on the piano apparently singing. The caption 'Bareton' (Russian = Baritone. I tried to paste it here but no luck.) Boleslavsky's games edited by Adams in English in the same category. |

| Jun-02-12 | | stanleys: Taimanov took part in a film as a child - a picture: http://chesspro.ru/guestnew/upload/... |

 | | Cemoblanca: <stanleys> He looks like the little 'Sascha' Luzhin in "The Luzhin Defence"!! ;0) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36vw... @ 05:30!! |
|
| Jun-11-12 | | piroflip: Thankfully the pressure was off him a little after Fischer crushed Larsen. |

| Jul-30-12 | | vonKrolock: Taimanov and the <Russian Nobel Prize> - (named after Ludwig <or Ludvig ?!> Nobel) ... <"elder brother of Alfred.

| Feb-17-13 | | Jafar219: <talisman: happy birthday to one of the greats.> The man who lost 0-6 can`t be called one of the greatest. |
|
Feb-18-13
 | | FSR: <Jafar219> Don't be mean. Fischer made all of his opponents look weak; he went 6-0 against Larsen too, which no one imagined was possible. Taimanov has won games against Botvinnik (twice), Smyslov (thrice), Tal (thrice), Petrosian (four times), Spassky (thrice), and Karpov. Not too shabby. |
