| WMD: Alexander Nikolayevich Zaitsev (1935-71). GM in 1967. Came equal first with Polugaevsky in Soviet championship in Alma-Ata, in 1968-69, but lost the play-off. 'Zaitsev came to a sad end. Wishing to marry, he decided first to remedy a limp by having one leg lengthened; although he was otherwise a robust and healthy man, he died of thrombosis as a consequence of the operation.' (Oxford Companion) |

| WannaBe: My dear chap, <Knight13> If Mr. Zaitsev is still alive, he would be 70 today, 2005 - 1935 = 70. If my quick math is right. |

| Prugno: <DeepBlade> Sorry to disappoint you, but that is GM Igor Zaitsev, Karpov's second for a long time, inventor of many great ideas - not only in the openings - and fortunately still alive. Alexander Zaitsev was a brilliant player, but more of a practical one, so I don't think he has any new variations bearing his name. |
