Oct-03-03    chessgames.com: Honza, thanks for helping us sort out this fellow's games. Question: is this also Eljaschev or is that a different player? Oct-03-03    Honza Cervenka: Eljaschev is definitely Moisei Zakharovich Elyashov. By the way, game Eljaschev vs Alekhine, 1930 is a copy of M Elyashov vs Alekhine, 1909 with different order of moves in the opening. The game was played in the All-Russian tournament 1909 (Alekhine won it) which took place as an associated event to the great international tournament in St. Petersburg. Oct-17-07    Resignation Trap: Here is a photo of that tournament, Elyashov is seated on the far right: http://www.chesspro.ru/_images/mate... . Dec-21-07    xeroxmachine: User: Resignation Trap Is the one in the middle behind the clocks by any chance named Lenin? Dec-21-07    whiteshark: "There are several anecdotes about chessplayers who ran into trouble because their books or notes were suspicious to the authorities, written as they are in an incomprehensible code. ... Another supposed victim of a spy hunt was the Russian player <Moisei Elyashov>, who was present as a reporter at the tournament in Mannheim in 1914, when it was disbanded at the outbreak of World War I. This seems a more plausible story." Source: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/hans1... True ? What happend to Elyashov after 1914 ? Dec-21-07    Eric Schiller: I had problems entering the USSR in 1974 because the east German chess books I had used figurines where the kings had crosses on top. The inspector who hassled me was yelled at by a superior who called him an idiot and waved me in. Dec-21-07    Resignation Trap: <xeroxmachine> Nyuk, nyuk! No that's not Lenin, that is Anatoly Alekseevich Chepurnov .
