Nov-16-06		stanleys: A very strong Soviet player with a tragic destiny.I'm searching for some articles about him;as soon as I find something I'll post it here

Nov-20-06		stanleys: In 1940 he shares the 2nd place in the very strong Leningrad's championship:http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/tables1... (the last table)

Dec-28-06		Karpova: Can you tell us more about his destiny?

Jul-22-07		stanleys: Unfortunately couldn't find the score of the following game (perhaps somebody knows this opening line?) Sokolsky - Vasiliev Leningrad/1947 click for larger view The game continues: 15.Nxd5 Bxd5 16.Bc4 Bxc4! 17.Rxd8 Raxd8! 18.Qxc4 Rd2 19.b4? (19.Re1 would have been a better choice) 19...Rfd8 20.Re1 b5! 21.Qxb5 Rc8 white resigned

Jul-22-07		nescio: <stanleys> According to the following PGN it isn't Victor Andreevich. [Event "URS-ch sf"] [Site "Leningrad"] [Date "1947.??.??"] [Round "7"] [White "Sokolsky,Alexey"] [Black "Vasiljev,A"] [Result "0-1"] [Eco "D58"] 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 Nf6 4.Nf3 Be7 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 0-0 7.e3 b6 8.Qc2 c5 9.0-0-0 cxd4 10.Nxd4 Bb7 11.Bxf6 Bxf6 12.cxd5 exd5 13.Kb1 Nc6 14.Nxc6 Bxc6 15.Nxd5 Bxd5 16.Bc4 Bxc4 17.Rxd8 Raxd8 18.Qxc4 Rd2 19.b4 Rfd8 20.Re1 b5 21.Qxb5 Rc8 0-1

Jul-22-07		stanleys: <nescio:> Thank you very much!I believe it's the same person,but have to prove it

Jul-22-07		Benzol: I think this sort thing has arisen before. BTW why does the bio say died -50 when it's filled in correctly as 1950 in the editors bio block?

Jul-24-07		stanleys: More successes in Leningrad's championships: in 1946 he shares the third place. It was a particularly strong tournament,won by Tolush; Levenfish was second.Klaman,Taimanov,Chekhover,Lisitsyn,Furman,Kopyl- ov,Stoliar also played there http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/Tables 17.htm In 1949 the championship was even stronger (Bondarevsky,Shamkovich,Zhukhovitsky,Borisenko played too) - Vasilev tied for the second place http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/Tables 20.htm
