| | WhoKeres: I read somehwere where Bondarevsky's "illness" that prevented his playing in the 1950 Candidates Tournament was alcoholism. Can anyone support or refute this claim? Thanks. |

 | | dakgootje: HUGE differance in age with his wife! If the information of both birthdays (and year) is right, he played his first game (well here his first game, not the first one of his life...at least i guess ;-) 2 years before she even was being born (probably wrong tense, but who cares...)!!!!!! |
|
| Dec-26-05 | | szunzein: spassky had parted with bondarevsky before his match against fischer in 1972 (not that it would have changed the outcome, but it didn't help) |
|
| Dec-26-05 | | chesscrazy: <dakgootje> That was very confusing, but...okay. At least I understood (not understand) what you were talking about. |

 | | Gypsy: Bondarevsky-Ufimcev, 1936; <1...Bg2?> and White wins:
click for larger viewThis comes from the same 1936 1st-Class-Player Tournament that saw Kotov vs Bondarevsky, 1936. After Ufimcev blundered by playing the 'natural' <1...Bg2?>, Bondarevsky won thus: 2.Rh8+ Kf7 3.Be8+!! Nxe8 4.Kg5!... |

"What can one say about Tal? His aggressive style is well known throughout the chess world
...he plays quickly and easily. When the situation on the board heats up, he circles around the table like a vulture." - GM Igor Bondarevsky (from the book The Magic of Tal) |

 | | HeMateMe: Bondarevsky trained Spassky. How many drunks can say that? certainly not the ones wearing Mets or Man U T-shirts. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Keres certainly thought a lot of him. Here's his assessment of the WC situation in 1941: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...
<Of course, it is possible that besides the seven contenders who have been in the forefront now for several years, new ones may soon appear. A step forward in this direction was marked by the last championship of the USSR. Bondarevsky, Lilienthal and Smyslov have shown themselves as masters seriously to be reckoned with. But it would be premature immediately after a first success to place any master in the group of championship candidates.> |
