| Resignation Trap: If you think about it, even his IM title may have been a bit generous from FIDE in 1950, as he never played outside the USSR. In 1991 a book of his life and best games was published, featuring 75 of his games, but only 26 of those are on the www.chessgames.com database. It should also be noted that Makogonov defeated Flohr in a match in 1942 by a score of 7.5 - 4.5. |

| Runemaster: Well, we all know how many very good players suffered from lack of international opportunities in the USSR. |

| Gypsy: In 1950, FIDE awarded all GM of USSR the IGM title. I believe FIDE also gave all USSR Masters and/or Senior Masters the title IM. |

| Resignation Trap: <Gypsy> His win over Reshevsky was game #15 in the book, and it was annotated by none other than Kasparov! 35. Rh8! was really fine, and Reshevsky lost on time a one move later, but resignation was an alternative, since 36...Qg5 loses to 37. Rh7+ Kg8 38. Qxg5+ and 39. Rxc7. "Vladimir Makogonov" was the 16th and last in a series of books published by Fisikultura i Sport. Unfortunately, when the USSR came to an end, so did this series of books. I am pleased to say that I have all of them. |

| Gypsy: <Resignation Trap> Good to hear. I lifted the game from Kotov/Judovich, where it is given as Makogonov's signature game with his portret/CV/resume. This Moscow/Leningrad is a half-forgotten tournament, but behold the raster and results: 1.Flohr +7 (12/17, 71%),
2.Reshevsky +4 (10.5/17, 62%),
3-6. Makogonov, Lilienthal, Levenfish, & Ragozin +3 (10/17, 59%),
7-8. Belavenets Rabinovich +2 (9.5/17, 56%),
9-10. Alatortsev, Kan +1 (9/17, 53%),
11. Konstantinopolsky = (8.5/17, 50%),
12-13. Smyslov, Keres -1 (8/17, 47%),
14. Goglidze -2 (7.5/17, 44%),
15. Tolush -3 (7/17, 41%),
16. Romanovsky -5 (6/17, 35%),
17. Bondarevsky -7 (5/17, 29%),
18. Panov -10 (3.5/17, 21%). |

| meloncio: <Gypsy><Resignation Trap> I have an old Argentinian book (1949 edition), about this Tournament. According to it, Panov didn't play from round # 13 to the end, leaving the tournament by sickness. |

| Ron: Im my honest opinion, the systems Makoganov created against the King's Indian Defense, and the Grunfeld, are pretty good. |

| Honza Cervenka: I have just sent some Makogonov's missing games to chessgames.com. He really deserved his GM title though he got it only late as "honorary" one in age of 83. |

| Whitehat1963: Although it's not mentioned in his bio here, he was apparently one of Kasparov's first chess teachers. |

| Resignation Trap: In the 1940 USSR Championship, Makogonov defeated Smyslov, Keres <and> Botvinnik : V Makogonov vs Botvinnik, 1940 , V Makogonov vs Keres, 1940 and V Makogonov vs Smyslov, 1940 . After eleven rounds, he occupied one of the top five spots, but several losses followed, and Vladimir failed to win a major prize. See http://www.chesspro.ru/_events/2007... for a good report of this tournament (in Russian). |

Makogonov was also very well known as a chess coach. He helped Vasily Smyslov prepare for his 1957 World Chess Championship match against Mikhail Botvinnik . He trained Vladimir Bagirov and Genrikh Chepukaitis ,and on Mikhail Botvinnik 's recommendation, became one of the young Garry Kasparov 's first teachers. His brother, Mikhail Makogonov (1900-1943), was also a chess master; they tied for first in the first Baku chess championship in 1923 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladim... |
