Apr-06-04    Sneaky: No disrepect to this fine Grandmaster, but I'll always remember him for being on the receiving end of the modern classic Oll vs Ulibin, 1989. Apr-06-04    BiLL RobeRTiE: That is a nice game, illustrating the thematic bishop sacrifice in the Winawer w/ Qg4. It's a pity nobody at such a high level plays 3...Bb4 anymore. May-22-05    WTHarvey: Here are some puzzles from Mikhail's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/ulib.html May-31-06    BIDMONFA: Mikhail Ulibin ULIBIN, Mikhail http://www.bidmonfa.com/ulibin_mikh... _ May-31-09    WhiteRook48: I probably would still play 3...Bb4 May-31-09    WhiteRook48: but I'm not high level Oct-11-09    Tabanus: He has now won the 9. Winterthurer Schachwoche, http://www.schachwoche.org/results..... Congratulations! pgns: http://www.schachwoche.org/uebersic... Oct-11-09    Open Defence: interestingly no one has tried 3.Nc3 against his French Defence since 2005!
