In the book "Master of Risk Strategy" it is the 1st ending fragment that begins with 22...Rxf2 23. Kxf2 e4! and goes on to move 41...Bxf2 and then it says in a few moves white resigned. Somebody help me out. Thanks! |

| Benzol: <jakaiden> I possess both Ray Keene's "Master Of Attack" and Gufeld's & Lazarev's "Master Of Risk Strategy" and have recently submitted the following games into the DB: Stein - Matanovic 1965
Borisenko - Stein 1964
Ustinov - Stein 1965
Lazarev - Stein 1951
Stein - Padevsky 1965
but I have been unable to find the full scores of
Shianovsky - Stein 1950
Kotlerman - Stein 1958 and
Gipslis - Stein 1959.
Perhaps <Resignation Trap> or <Sneaky Pete> might be able to help you out here. |

| Dionyseus: <jakaiden> Hi there, I noticed you have the Data avatar, I uploaded it and was wondering if you'd be willing to switch out so I can use it? I understand if you're not willing to do so. Please let me know either here or at my forum, thanks. |

| brankat: I find it hard to believe that it's been 35 years since a very premature passing of this extraordinarily talented GM. At the age of 39. Would have been 74 today! R.I.P. GM Stein. |

| parisattack: <ketchuplover: In January he'll be featured in a book on attacking chess with Kasparov and Tal.> Stein definately belongs in the Alekine-Tal-Kasparov lineage - but his style had a hypermodern spin as well - he liked the double-finachetto as White and played the English and KIA. To my thinking Stein was one of the great players who could have been WC - along with Pillsbury, Rubinstein, Keres and perhaps Flohr, Reshevsky, Fine as well. I'm sure there would be votes for Bronstein and Korchnoi. Others? |
|

| M.D. Wilson: Rubinstein should have been given the opportunity, but WW1 really threw a spanner in the works. Korchnoi was a great contender, and it took Karpov to beat him, so there's no shame in that. Stein played a solid brand of attacking chess, like Spassky and the pre-1958 and 1970s Tal, making dynamism the key to his play. |
|
| Jan-02-09 |
| M.D. Wilson: It must be said that Bronstein got the closest to the title, but to no avail. He could only hold a relatively out-of-form Botvinnik to a draw, although he often outplayed Botvinnik until the endgame. |

| parisattack: Anyone have a personal review of the new book by Colin Crouch (mentioned some time back on this board) Chess Secrets of the Attackers - Kasparov, Tal, Stein? I have ordered it but not here as yet. |

| parisattack: <But the good news is that Colin Crouch is writing a book in the EVERYMANCHESS Giant of Chess Series on Attacking Chess which features Kasparov, Tal, and Stein(!). Oh yes! See http://www.everymanchess.com/displa... for details.> I received my copy of this book and spent some time on the Stein section. I have to say I was a little disappointed. First, I don't think simply classifying Stein as an Attacking Player/'Master of Attack' does his unique style justice. I was hoping to see more about him qua Power Player or Master of the Initiative. This book closely paralleled the discussion in Leonid Stein Master of Risk Strategy by Gufeld and Lazarev. Second, not much if anything about the clearly hypermodern thread that runs through his opening repertoire. I think an initiative-driven player with a hypermodern rep is something special. Third, I thought the entire section just sort of rambled along (although with some excellent content along-the-way) with no particular theme. The upside - the game annotations were sharp, informative. I liked the first Chess Secrets volume (The Giants of Strategy by McDonald) quite a lot better. |

Hi! He does not appear to be on the Drop Down list at all... |
|
May-07-09
|
| parisattack: Actually, he WAS on it at one time - now gone... There are many 'lessor lights' on the list, Stein definately deserves inclusion, IMHO. I have found quite a few Stein games in old Shakmatnyi Byulletins and CCCPs not in the CG database or either of the two English language Stein tomes. As I get time I will post as a collection. Perhaps my mentor <Chessman95> will assist? |

| talisman: <kamalakanta> Hi!... he's back! <parisattack> i agree with everything. Dissapointed is the word.
limited to one year??? why? |

 |
| HeMateMe: that book of his, the tactical puzzles, is very tough, very useful if you want to beef up your tactical vision. |
|

| Shams: Chessgames, once again you have stripped Leonid Stein from the home page drop-down menu. You have some kind 'a pree-de-lick-shun? |
|
May-11-09
|
| kamalakanta: Hi! Stein is available in the drop-down menu, if you change your preferences and choose a "longer list of players on home-page". Then he becomes visible. |
|
| May-31-09 |
| RickN: I think it was a great "lost" for the world of chess players : Leonid died at 39 years old : (excuse me for my english :I live in Belgium). I began to interest me to the career of Leonid Stein (I was 34 years). I don't say why, but I am sure that he would to become a "top 10" in the circle of GMI's world !
Claude (Belgium). (PS : game 5 of Petrossian - Botvinnik (0/1), 1963, is one of my "prefered" games : domination of bishop by a "magic" knight) |
