| Aug-20-04 | | xiaolin: who is this guy |
|
| Aug-20-04 | | sneaky pete: <xiaolin> He's the last Siberian tiger, please don't shoot him. |
|
| Aug-20-04 | | xiaolin: ok, ill pretend i know what ya ment ;) /♘\ |
|
| Aug-20-04 | | sneaky pete: <xiaolin> Filed in my head was that he comes from Vladivostok, but some printed information says Alma Ata. He was born January 20, 1957, which means at least the first 5 games in the database (played between 1961 and 1968) are the work of another Vladimirov.
Evgeny has been a trainer of Harry Kasparov and in recent years he nursed the young Indian tigers.
He is at this moment playing in Abu Dhabi. See http://www.abudhabichess.com/2004/A...(KAZ).htm |
|
| Aug-20-04 | | PinkPanther: He's the guy who just got destroyed (and yes, I DO mean DESTROYED) by Hydra. |
|
| Aug-20-04 | | sneaky pete: The link to the picture doesn't work, so just go to http://www.abudhabichess.com with pictures of both Evgeny the Tiger and the fearsome Hydra. |

 | | offramp: Harry is the right name. Kasparov's first name is Genrik, which means Henry, and Harry is short for Henry. |
|
| Sep-07-04 | | acirce: You're probably confusing him with Genrikh Kasparyan. |

| | offramp: Bob Cunningham says:
"I have received a number of comments on my proposition that Kasparov's name should be pronounced "Harry" by English speakers.
Most of them were by private e-mail, so I can't quote them directly. One responder, who seemed to have a good knowledge of Russian, agreed with me that the double "r" is not found in native Russian words. All of the words he could think of were foreign importations. This seems to make it clear that the name "Garry"
came from somewhere outside Russian. The fact that his father had a Western European sounding name (which I don't remember at the moment) strongly suggests to me that "Garry" came from the name "Harry", which probably came from the family's western roots.
Another responder said that he had discussed Kasparov's first name with him early in Kasparov's career. Apparently Kasparov wanted help in deciding how his name should be expressed in the international chess community. "Garry", "Gary", and "Harry" were considered, and the aforementioned responder recommended "Gary".
I personally believe that when a name is a transliteration from English, it should resume its original English spelling when translated back. If a Russian writer wanted to talk about our President Harrison, he would spell it and pronounce it "Garrison",
but if I were translating his work into English I would spell it and pronounce it "Harrison".
One responder mentioned an example of English retaining the slavic transliteration: He said that the name "Gurevich" was originally a slavic rendition of "Horowitz". I find about nineteen non-anglicized versions in my local 'phone book (divided among Gurevich, Gurewitz, Gurevitz, and Gurevitch).
Anyhow, until I hear otherwise from Kasparov or someone with authority to speak for him, I am going to think of the world's best chess player as Harry Kasparov."<acirce> I think I was thinking of Kasparyan. |
|
| Sep-07-04 | | WMD: During the 1986 WC match, Kasparov accused Vladimirov, one of his seconds, of passing information to Karpov's camp. This came after Gary had lost three straight games, nos 16-18. |
|
| Sep-12-04 | | yoozum: is harry really short for henry though? it seems weird considering they both have the same letters. unlike bob/robert, dick/richard, etc.. |
|
| Sep-13-04 | | Lawrence: <yoozum>, not a "short" form, just a friendly alternative. Compare John/Jack and James/Jimmy. |
|
| Sep-13-04 | | yoozum: yeah, i forgot about james/jimmy but is jack really a nickname for john? weird. |
|
| Dec-28-04 | | WMD: I don't think the name Gary/Garry was used before its adoption by the film star Gary Cooper. "Nan (Collins, a studio casting director) came from Gary, Indiana, and suggested I adopt that name. She felt it was more exciting than Frank. I figured I'd give it a try. Good thing she didn't come from Poughkeepsie." |
|
| Dec-28-04 | | Lawrence: <WMD>, ain't Google incredible? http://baby-names.adoption.com/sear...
says that "Gary" is Old English, Latin, Teutonic, and means "spear carrier." |

 | | cu8sfan: Is today's player of the day actually two players? This guy here played U20 in 1975 so he can be born no earlier than 1955. I think it highly unlikely that he played against Spassky in 1961. The later games must be from http://fide.com/ratings/card.phtml?..., born Jan 20th, 1957. |
|
| May-18-05 | | Runemaster: <Lawrence> "gar" means "spear" in Old English, but I'd never associated it with the name Gary before. |

 | | WTHarvey: The earliest game by Evgeny in Chess Assistant 8.0, is 1967 (a club game against Beliavsky). However, there are 9 Vladimirovs that CA covers. Here are some puzzles from Evgeny's early games: http://www.wtharvey.com/vlad.html |
|
| Oct-28-05 | | Astardis: Harry Kasparov, right. now, why don't we go all the way and drop that un-american v at the end? why not call him Harry Kasp? and since the K is not used that much in America either, why not Harry Casp?
Gotta love you Americans... God bless the USA |

| Nov-30-05 | | Steppenwolf: Harry Cask would be best |
