Jun-08-05    Kangaroo: The game Fine vs M Yudovich Sr., 1937 should have been listed as the greatest achievement of this master! Jun-30-05    Knight13: The game Fine vs M Yudovich Sr., 1937 became the Puzzle of the Day on June 30/05! Jun-30-05    aw1988: It's just an opening trap. Dec-16-05    stanleys: This man died in 1987 May-08-06    Benzol: He was known as "Mik-Mik" because of the patronymic second name Mikhailovich. Jun-08-06    BIDMONFA: Mikhail M Yudovich Sr. YUDOVICH, Mikhail M. http://www.bidmonfa.com/yudovich_mi... _ Sep-02-07    jenspetersson: I'm searching for a D81 (Grünfeld 4.Qb3) game with "Mik-Mik". White was Belavenets (sometimes spelled Belawenez) and it was played in Moscow 1936. Any idea on where to find it? Jun-08-09    WhiteRook48: he beat Fine?! Apr-08-12    backrank: I've always wondered who might have been Yudovich Jr., but there seems nowhere any trace of this guy! Why is Yudovich always called Senior if there is no Junior of the same name? BTW, one of the most remarkable games by Yudovich (Sr.!) is his short win over Kan with the black pieces (and NOT with the help of an opening trap, as in the case of his win over Fine): [Event "Match"] [Site "match"] [White "Kan, Ilya"] [Black "Yudovich, Mikhail M"] [Date "1934.?.?"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "E34"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 d5 5.cxd5 Qxd5 6.Nf3 c5 7.dxc5 Qxc5 8.Be3 Bxc3+ 9.bxc3 Qe7 10.g3 Nc6 11.Bg2 O-O 12.O-O e5 13.Rab1 Rd8 14.h3 Be6 15.

Apr-08-12    King Death: <backrank> But there is! Along with games here (Mikhail M Yudovich Jr.) you can find some more at http://www.365chess.com/players/Mik... Apr-08-12    backrank: Thank you, now I see. But if you type 'Yudovich' into the search square, there comes only the Senior!
