Feb-09-04    SamusAran: If you want to see Efimov get his butt kicked, look at Efimov vs Bronstein (at the top of the page) Mar-15-05    Karpova: <chessgames.com> There's an italian GM called Igor Efimov (born in 1960). The first three games were probably not played by the italian GM and the first to games are identical. Mar-15-05    Karpova: sorry, first two games of course Sep-16-06    BIDMONFA: Igor Efimov EFIMOV, Igor http://www.bidmonfa.com/efimov_igor... _
