Kibitzer's Corner
< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing>
Jun-02-05  Kangaroo: <Benzol> I recall from the soviet sources that his first name was Vyacheslav (or Viacheslav) - who knows how the names have changed since the collapse of the evil empire!

If Leningrad has returned its original name, perhaps so did Eingorn.

Jun-05-06  sitzkrieg: Unfortunately he didnt get to play in many foreign tournaments, I think he is underrated.
Jun-05-06  MoonlitKnight: In "The Soviet Championships" by Cafferty/Taimanov, his first name is Vyacheslav.

He was a very strong player in the late eightes, which is easily demonstrated by his 5th place in one of the strongest USSR championships ever, the 55th, in 1988:

1. Kasparov 11½
2. Karpov 11½
3. Yusupov 10
4. Salov 10
5. Eingorn 9½
6. Ivanchuk 9½

There are three games by him in the book

Eingorn vs Balashov, 1985

of course the incredible endgame in
Eingorn vs Kupreichik, 1987

and he was victim to a brilliancy by old Smyslov
Smyslov vs Eingorn, 1988

By the way, he looks like a mean gangster in his FIDE card, really cool!

Jun-19-06  stanleys: In the 56th championship(1989) he was also joint 3rd.His results in the Soviet championships are really impressive! As I know he was a part of the Soviet team which won the European championship in Haifa/1989. Some days ago the Ukrainian women won gold at the Olympiad of Turin;Eingorn was their coach

I'll buy it, hoping he found a smashing response to <5.h3> : B Kovanova vs M Fominykh, 2006
Oct-09-08  wordfunph: VISA Summit Reykjavik 1990 Tournament: Reserve player may substitute for the resting player, so a reserve could suddenly pop up on any 10 boards unlike in Olympiad rulings. The USSR's number 1 reserve was EINGORN; in the first 4 rounds he had been used 3 times, drawing with H. Olafsson on board 2, beating Short on board 1, and beating J. Benjamin on board 7. He immediately earned the nickname "super-sub"!
Nov-01-08  stanleys: <wordfunph:>It's true,but a little later he was beaten by Nunn and Christiansen in a great style

<How to seize the initiative and pose novel problems for the opponent>

Gambit publishing house, 2006 - 160 pages

<Blurb:>
- - - -

Grandmaster Eingorn is an opening trendsetter and pioneer. Throughout his career, he has introduced many new concepts in the openings, and some of the systems he has developed have gone on to become absolute main lines, such as the Rb1 Exchange Grünfeld. Here he explains his view of opening play, and how it is possible to refine existing systems and work out entirely new ideas from scratch.

The broad topics he discusses include:

Experiments in the Opening
Disturbing the Equilibrium
Strategic Planning
Opening Structures

He follows up by examining some notable trends in modern opening play, and with an analysis of a number of novel opening systems, including ones that he has championed himself. Eingorn takes us through the creative process, and the highs and Iows of the practical testing and refinement of the ideas. Throughout, the emphasis is on the procedures employed and the general lessons that can be learned.

Viacheslav Eingorn is an extremely experienced grandmaster from Ukraine. He played regularly and successfully in the Top League of the USSR Championship in the 1980s. He has represented Ukraine many times in team events and plays frequently in the German Bundesliga and open tournaments across Europe. He is the author of Decision-Making at the Chessboard.

  FSR: <whiteshark> I saw that game in Robert Byrne's New York Times column shortly after it was played. It's always cracked me up imagining poor Tatai's thought processes. The guy's an IM, likes to think he's a strong player. But here he's facing a <really> strong opponent, one of the world's best. Tatai has White, and decides his best chance is to cravenly play for a draw from move 1. Hey, sometimes that works, right? O Sarapu vs Korchnoi, 1967 So he plays the Exchange French - symmetrical pawn structure, an extra tempo. He should be able to hold the draw with no trouble, right? And he gets <annihilated>. In <14 moves>. Chess is a humbling game.

  Phony Benoni: <Brillianicies in the Exchange French> would be an interesting collection, and larger than people might think. Two that spring to mind quickly are G Marco vs Maroczy, 1899 (yes, I consider that a brilliancy) and Blackburne vs J Schwarz, 1881 (that's better).

Speaking of Eingorn, I wonder if anybody can come up with a good pun for Eingorn vs Kupreichik, 1987. Or at least the play beginning after 62...Kf6.

  Penguincw: Happy 57th birthday to the <POTD>: GM Vereslav Eingorn.
Nov-23-13  Conrad93: The Eigorn Variation is suprisingly hard to refute.

It doesn't promise a win, but against a stronger player you are likely to get a draw, and, if they overpress, a win.

May-26-15  TheFocus: <Exposing a concrete error in a chess game is much easier than objectively assessing an overall scheme of play. Every strategic plan, including an incorrect one, is linked to certain distinct conceptions in the player's mind, and may be crowned with success given a fortunate conjunction of circumstances...> - Viacheslav Eingorn.
