OLEG ROMANISHIN
(born Jan-10-1952) Ukraine

[what is this?]
Oleg Mikhailovich Romanishin was born on the 10th of January 1952 in Lvov, then in the USSR. Awarded the IM title in 1973 and the GM title in 1976 he was European Junior Champion in 1972-73. A pupil of Viktor Emmauelovich Kart (born 1929) he has achieved some fine tournament results such as Leningrad 1977 1st=, Tilburg 1979 2nd, Sochi 1982 3rd=, Moscow 1985 1st and Reggio Emilia 1985-86 1st= but has never qualified as a Candidate. He is reputed to have said "Draws make me angry" and remains a strong GM with an aggressive style just a level below the top rank. He is also a leading chess opening theorist.

Sep-14-07   Akavall: Romanishin is often credited with 3...Be7!? against both 3. Nc3 and 3. Nd2. Even though 3...Be7 is rare against the former; it is common against the later.

You'd expect someone to talk about being "lame" on a forum with a name "O-Leg" wouldn't you.
