Jun-01-04    Benzol: Is Gennadi Timoshchenko related to Georgy Timoshenko. Is the spelling difference significant? Jun-07-04    Honza Cervenka: <Is the spelling difference significant?> Yes, it is. Both surnames are similar but not same. Jun-07-04    Benzol: <Honza> They are not related then? I thought it might be down to the English translation of the name. Jun-08-04    Honza Cervenka: <Benzol> Almost certainly they are not related. Both are Ukrainians (although Gennadi Timoshchenko has now a citizenship of Slovakia) and their surnames are very similar but it is just a coincidence. By the way, since 1995 Gennadi Timoshchenko is as a Slovak player listed in FIDE register as "Gennadij Timoscenko" which is a Slovak (as well as Czech) phonetic transliteration of his name, of course without diacritical marks. See http://www.chesslive.de/scripts/ser... Jun-08-04    Benzol: <Honza> OK, thanks mate. His picture looks like he's just come inside from somewhere very cold as his nose and lips are very red. Apr-26-06    BIDMONFA: Gennadi Timoshchenko TIMOSCENKO, Gennadij http://www.bidmonfa.com/timoscenko_... _ Jun-21-06    Karpyan: At one stage he was Kasparov's trainer along with Alexander Nikitin Apr-27-09    WhiteRook48: why are all his notable games with black? Mar-17-10    wordfunph: GM Gennady Timoshchenko studied a database of 150,000 games and came to the conclusion that BxN often makes sense in the opening because a Knight is simply the more useful piece then. Apr-19-10    Tabanus: Yesterday in Thessaloniki, Greece he placed 3rd in the European senior championship 2010: http://www.chess-results.com/tnr326... Apr-27-12    LoveThatJoker: Happy birthday, GM Timoshchenko! LTJ
