Dec-19-04    Benzol: Georgy Tadzhikanovich Agzamov Born 6th September 1954 in Almalik IM in 1982 and GM in 1984. Dec-19-04    Knezh: Wasn't he the person who died by falling from a cliff? Aug-25-05    yoozum: What a depressing story. Sep-06-06    BIDMONFA: Georgy Tadzhikanovich Agzamov AGZAMOV, Georgy http://www.bidmonfa.com/agzamov_geo... _ Apr-19-07    vonKrolock: <"He was the first ever Uzbek, and thus arguably the first ever Asian grandmaster. Born in 1954 Georgy Agzamov was not just a strong player – the nightmare of top GMs – he was also a great ambassador for chess."> Fine illustrated report on the First International Agzamov Memorial http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Jul-20-07    Grim Reaper: He came as the crow flies. Sep-06-07    D4n: Life can be tragic. Sep-06-07    centercounter: The Agzamov variation in the Alekhine's Defense is one of Black's strongest responses to the Modern system. 1. e4? Nf6! 2. e5 Nf5 3. d4 d6 4. Nf3 Bg4 5. Be2 c6! The point is that after 6. O-O, then Bxf3! 7. Bxf3 dxe5 gives Black play against the Pe5. Black isn't winning, by any stretch, but it is not easy for White to demonstrate the usual "White" advantage, either. Naturally, White has other options than 6. O-O. Rather than make this an encyclopedic post, I'll just say that White gains nothing significant. There are lines where Black forfeits the right to castle after a Queen exchange at d8, but that comes to nothing special for White, either. Sep-06-07    fm avari viraf: Indeed, a very tragic end of a nice human being & a Great Master! May God Bless His Soul Peace In Heaven.
