Jun-11-07    jon01: Randviir died in August 8 1996. Apr-21-09    Benzol: Problem composed by Yury Randviir in 1989 click for larger view White to play and win Apr-21-09    nimh: His first name was Jüri, not such a word mongrel as Yury. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estoni... Randviir would surely turn in his grave if saw how chessgames.com or other sites and books misrepresent his name. Apr-21-09    whiteshark: Jüri Randviir (* 28.05.27 - † 08.08.96) Apr-23-09    Benzol: Solution to problem posted on the 21st of April. 1.b3 xb3 2.d3 and mates next move. If 1.........c2 2.a3+ bxa3 3.b3# May-28-09    jussu: If CG, for some reason, has to avoid letters such as ü, then Jüri should be spelled Juri. "Yury" has barely any resemblance to his name. May-28-09    WhiteRook48: composed, I suppose, and not played in an actual game?
