(Tolstoy junior shows some class; he spurns the bishop and plays for more complications.) 28.Qa5?! (Flashy, but not the best defence.) 28...Rfa7 29.Rg8+?

Mar-09-11		Tabanus: <myschkin> That game is for the time being placed under Sergei Fedorovich Lebedev

May-13-11		myschkin: . . . Thank you <Tabanus> .. nice surprise while blind flying through the cgverse! Black: (Sergius) Sergei Tolstoy . ".. I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, <some deep chesstalk> - such is my idea of happiness. .." (from the short novel "Family Happiness" by Leo Tolstoy ) <*> red-hot update

Aug-26-12		Karpova: Some of Lebedev's successes: 1901: +1 =3 -0 against Georg Marco and +1 -1 against Von Scheve 1902: Blindfold +1 =1 -0 against Von Bardeleben 1908: St. Petersburg Chess Club Champion ahead of Von Freymann, A. Romanovsky and Evtifeev (after 2 rounds replaced by Helbach) winning every mini-match also. Won many St. Petersburg Club tournaments and beat Chigorin between 1899 and 1900 in 3 tournament games. From page 345 of the 1911 'Wiener Schachzeitung'
