Apr-20-06    BIDMONFA: Ilya Leontievich Rabinovich RABINOVICH, Ilya L. http://www.bidmonfa.com/rabinovich.... _ Apr-20-06    offramp: I like this bit in the bio: "Primarily a positional player he perished in the siege of Leningrad in 1942." Did the tactical players survive? Apr-20-06    dbquintillion: <offramp> good question. you'd think that a long, slow squeeze like the siege of leningrad would be precisely the sort of thing a positional player would be prepared for. perhaps the tactical players sacced some of their colleagues to maneuver their way out.
