| Petrosian63: Happy 85th GM Yuri Averbakh. |
 |

| pazzed paun: <Chess Man> that sounds like a silly made up quote from a very silly movie. I have Averbakh's selected games and no mention is made of speed chess. Also Averbakh talks about his "scientific" personality--speed chess does not fit!! I have never heard of a strong player that liked the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer" . silly movie. |

| Judah: <...all leading Grandmasters have a chess 'character', which is well known. Averbakh likes, and always heads for, situations where the position is absolutely clear.> --Mikhail Tal, "The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal" |

| Cactus: <danielpi> True! Though perhaps you were too kind (be more blunt next time)! |

| brankat: Has it been forgotten that Y.Averbakh was M.Tal's second during the Botvinnik-Tal matches? That they were close friends for many years? Anyhow. Very best for Your Birthday Mr.Averbakh! |

| karnak64: I owe a great debt of gratitude to GM Averbakh, as his book, "Chess Endings: Essential Knowledge" completely turned my game around 30 years ago. In my case that means I went from being a dismissable patzer to being a respectable patzer, but I'll take what I can get. Thanks, Grandmaster Averbakh, and many happy returns! |

| wrap99: Is there an older GM still playing? His rating is still over 2400 -- surely no other 85 year-old has this distinction? |

| brankat: <wrap89> <His rating is still over 2400 -- surely no other 85 year-old has this distinction?> Svetozar Gligoric is now 85, and currently rated at 2447, 2 points higher than Y.Averbakh. But, Yuri is 1 year older :-) |

| whiteshark: Quote of the Day
<I have seen two geniuses in my time. One was Tal. The other was Fischer.> -- Averbakh
Define genius. |
|

 |
| Caissanist: This quote is from an interview that Averbakh did with Evans some years ago, the complete answer may provide a better idea of what he meant: <I have seen two geniuses in my time. One was Tal. The other was Fischer. Maybe Kasparov also. In chess you cannot be a genius forever, only for a short burst. Fischer’s highest level was after the Candidates matches in 1970 where he beat Larsen and Taimanov 6-0 and then crushed Petrosian and Spassky. Fischer was very strong with Black. With White everybody can win, but the main problem is how to win with Black.> |

| Open Defence: <With White everybody can win, but the main problem is how to win with Black> how true |

| whiteshark: Thanks for the <complete answer, <Caissanist>>! btw, QotD again :D |
|

| returnoftheking: In that same interview with Evans he said some pretty hard things about Karpov (see Kramnik page). Also, in OMGP there are some quotes that sound like he has a personal vendetta with Karpov.
His reign as president of the Soviet Chess Federation coincides with the rise of Karpov. Is there some kind of vendetta going on or is Averbakh trustworthy? |
