Nov-17-05    lopium: Seems a man with a nice name! kidding. Seems interesting.... I'd like to read his biography. Is he dead? Sep-15-08    myschkin: . . . <Isaak Schulimowitsch Birbrager > "Chess: Serious, for fun" click for larger view White to play ;) Dec-04-09    Fusilli: <myschkin> That's funny. Not only does white have mate in one... It's the only move he can legally make! Dec-04-09    Fusilli: Now, if you switch the Black rook and knight on the g-file, then Black is obliged to recapture and stalemate White :) click for larger view Of course, that would also happen if the Black king had one square to escape to. Dec-04-09    waustad: He must have lots of wins to have played such an astounding cast of players who stomped him. Dec-04-09    waustad: As far as my very limited research indicates, he was from Uzbekistan in 1935, where he was once champion and has published some stuff about fun in chess. It sounds like he'd be worth the trouble to look into some more for someone so inclined. Any games I found required money to see. I don't disapprove as a matter of policy, but I also don't usually partake.
