Kibitzer's Corner

Jun-01-04   Tigran Petrosian: My most recent tournament (the one where I met Gurevich) I got 5th place in the reserve section and 2 huge upsets. I got a check for 106 dollars and I outperformed Gurevich's son Sam Schmakel. Gurevich and I talked about his games with Tal. What a tournament.
Aug-19-04   aw1988: Garry Kasparov lookalike!!
Mar-06-05   jsastre48: He is a very nice and non assuming man. Sam Schmakel is one of his talented students. Gurevich combines play with coaching and he is very strong in both, a class act!
Oct-02-05   aw1988: I don't know what it is, but Gurevich seriously looks like Kasparov. Does anyone else notice this, or am I losing my mind?

  Sneaky: I just got my latest Chess Life in the mail, my first thought was "Oh look at Kasparov on the cover." Then I looked again. It was Gurevich!

Oct-02-05   aw1988: Oh, so I'm still sane. I'm trying to pinpoint which similarity it is... the eyes?
Nov-07-05   lopium: I'll guess the nose and hair's color.
Nov-20-05   jsastre48: They are quite friendly as Gurevich and his student Schmakel recently visited Kasparov in NY for a "tune up".
Dec-10-05   aw1988: I don't quite think so, lopium, but good guess... I'm still trying to figure it out...

  waddayaplay: Yes, he's like a fatter Kasparov. http://img.epochtimes.com/i6/503172...
Apr-05-06   Chess Classics: <waddayaplay> Okay, THAT is a spooky image. The resemblance is there, and I'm not sure quite what it is...

Regards,
CC

Apr-07-06   AlexanderMorphy: lol yeah they do look similar!
Apr-07-06   DeepBlade: Relative of Mikhail Gurevich?

Really nice notable games!

Apr-11-06   Chess Classics: <DeepBlade: Relative of Mikhail Gurevich?>

Dimitry Gurevich is one of the three Gurevich brothers (Ilya, Dimitri, and Mikhail.)

Apr-11-06   wallytherhino: he is a little overshadowed by his brother mikhail

  whiskeyrebel: maybe somebody should sponsor a 3 person family team tournament.
May-13-06   DeepBlade: Mikhail Gurevich plays in Turkey, which is a great honour to have him play there.

Overall record: Mikhail Gurevich beat Suat Atalik 1 to 0, with 1 draw.

M Gurevich vs S Atalik, 2006

Mikhail Gurevich's best game (in my opinion)
M Gurevich vs Short, 1990

Ilya's interresting game, his opening seems to challenge theory I Gurevich vs Nunn, 1992

Last but not least, Dimitri Gurevich
L Ross vs D Gurevich, 2004

Resilent, clean and modern play!

  Benzol: <Sularus> Take your pick http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...
Jul-22-07   SniperOnKN2: This guy looks like Kasparov, but plays on the other side of the Aronin-Taimanov.
Mar-20-08   ex0duz: http://img.epochtimes.com/i6/503172...

Stop pulling my leg please.. That HAS to be Kasparov, otherwise he's got a twin i never knew existed till today..

  WannaBe: <ex0duz> I'm quite sure that's <NOT> Kasparov.

Since I was the one that took the picture, and got to see him in action.

Now, if you see a picture of me, you'd say <I AM KASPAROV>. :-))

  whiskeyrebel: I faced GM D. Gurevich at his simul at the Western States open a couple weeks ago. There were 18 of us players in all. I hoped for more so I could have more time between moves. He was very generous with "passes" however. He played an advance variation against my Caro Kann. I've been gloating all over this website about not being afraid of the advance, so I felt happy to be surviving well at the 18 move point. By move 30 I was crushed of course. Thank you for the lesson, sir. By the way, my Wife says he really looks like a strong chessplayer. We both sensed a powerful aura.
