Nov-09-04		J.A. Topfke: Racist and jewish supremacist. Here is an online review of his book: http://www.bs-chess.com/latin/ezote...

Nov-09-04		dafish298: well that certainly wasnt a bias comment

Dec-05-04		Knezh: It looks like Yudasin has gone bonkers big time on the idea of Jewish supremacy.

Jan-06-06		offramp: It's very hard to read the review - it's a Babelfish translation, I hope. Some players, like Yudasin and Yudovich, have names which display their religion to the world. I suppose they have a choice of either revelling in their religion or becoming paranoid about it. I mean in a Soviet milieu.

Jan-06-06		ughaibu: Or changing their names.

Jan-06-06		offramp: Yeah... I didn't say that because Kasparov is the only Soviet player I can think of who did change his name - and it wasn't even him, it was his guardians.

Jan-06-06		weltschmertz: leonid yudasin is a wonderful man.

Feb-23-06		Poisonpawns: Yudasin played at the US amature team East in New Jersey from Feb18-20th Here is a game from my team mate Ernie Johnson rated 2000 against the GM.Yudasin hangs a piece! but he swindled a draw.

Aug-04-06		al wazir: <J.A. Topfke>: That's a computer translation. Can you give me the URL for the Russian original of the review?
