Feb-15-07    BIDMONFA: Yuri Yakovich YAKOVICH, Yuri http://www.bidmonfa.com/yakovich_yu... _ May-02-07    masterwojtek: Go Yuri!! Awesome game by an awesome chess player! Sep-26-07    pawnofdoom: This guy deserves a biography! He can beat Kramnik and made it to the 2600's too. Sep-27-07    Eric Schiller: Yes, a very good player. His loss to me was just a blunder, don't hold it against him. May-10-09    Hesam7: Does anyone own his "PLAY THE 4 f3 NIMZO-INDIAN" ? If so what do you think of the book?
