|
| Aug-31-11 | | polarmis: Akopian mentions him as having been at the Botvinnik/Kasparov school, so he'd have been among the top-12 juniors in the USSR at one point: http://www.whychess.org/en/node/1517 He commented from the scene for ChessPro in Dortmund (as he seems to do most years) - and had some interesting comments about computers (also a good photo there if anyone at ChessGames wants to add it to his profile!): http://www.whychess.org/en/node/1136 |
|
| Aug-31-11 | | SimonWebbsTiger: Konstantin mentioned today that he spoke with Grischuk before the game with Feller. <the Gris> said he was a bit worried about playing him. Konstantin made a passing remark about Feller: " a computer player." |

| Oct-13-22 | | stone free or die: RE: dod (Константин Юрьевич Ла́нда) I think it would be safest to just say Oct 2022 at the moment, despite the Russian wiki(*). I tried to trace the notice, which seems to have come from Russian Chess Federation (Федерация шахмат России [Federatsiya shakhmat Rossiyi]). They say he died after a long illness, but don't provide an exact dod. <OCTOBER 12, 2022
Konstantin Landa passed away
Grandmaster was 50 years old
Grandmaster Konstantin Landa (1972-2022) passed away after a long illness. This is a heavy loss for the entire chess community. We express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Konstantin Landa was born and raised in Omsk. His first mentor was a strong master Yakov Rusakov, and after the first successes young Konstantin was assisted by grandmaster Alexander Goldin. The Omsk chess player studied at the sessions of the Yevgeny Sveshnikov school, and also ended up in the famous school of Mikhail Botvinnik, where at the age of 13 he defeated the 13th world champion Garry Kasparov in a simultaneous game session. Vice-champion of the USSR among youths (1989), after the collapse of the Union, he won the junior championship of Russia (1992). In the 1990s, he consistently held the titles of master and grandmaster, but at the same time received a university education and worked for several years in a bank in the automation department, then in a private company. Organizer of the Russian Cup stage in Omsk. Online commentator of the World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk (2011). In 1999 he moved to Germany, where he got the opportunity to become a chess professional. Tournament winners: Oberwart (1994), Noyabrsk (1995), Ubeda (1999), Deizisau (2001), Furte (2002), Bad Wiesse (2002), Trieste (2005), Reggio Emilia (2006), Hamburg (2007) ), Vlissingen (2011), Senden (2011), Hamburg (2014). Winner of the club championships of many countries in the teams. At the peak of his career, Konstantin Landa 's rating reached 2678. He was one of the leading coaches in the world, known for his extensive theoretical knowledge. For many years he worked with Arkady Naiditsch, helped the world champion Alexandra Kosteniuk and vice-world champion Alexandra Goryachkina, the champion of Russia Evgeny Alekseev, the talented Italian chess player Daniela Vocaturo, coached the men's team of Iran, the women's team of Kazakhstan. One of the first to come up with specific proposals to combat cheaters, joined the FIDE-ASP joint anti-cheat commission and played a prominent role in exposing several dishonest chess players. > https://ruchess.ru/news/all/ushel_i... They, in turn, reference a link to <Obituary of the Chess Federation of the Omsk Region>, but I wasn't able to load it: http://dodush15.omsk.obr55.ru/2022/... (*) - I think the Russian wiki just used the publication date of the Federation death notice. |

| Oct-13-22 | | stone free or die: He had a blog, which seems to have ended back in 2012. http://chesslanda.com/index.php
It contains this voting poll, which seems rather apropos: <
Do you support my anti-cheating suggestions?
• Yes. Fully agree with both parts of the proposals.
• Disagree completely.
• I do not agree with the proposals for professionals.
Cheaters need to:
• a) Give a temporary disqualification (2-4 years).
• b) Give a lifetime disqual.
• c) "Wet in the toilet!"
• d) "Understand and forgive."
I have my suggestions - I'll write in the guestbook.> He was involved in FIDE's Fair Play committee.

 | | OhioChessFan: Looking at his picture, he appears to be in a surprisingly deep think after his opponent opened 1. e4. |

| Oct-15-22 | | nummerzwei: RIP
2007 was pretty much Konstantin Landa's best year. At the end of it, he participated in Reggio Emilia (2007/08), which had a stronger line-up than the other editions he played in (with good results), and achieved additional exposure due to the tournament book by Mihail Marin and Yuri Garrett. Landa was a contender for first place for much of the tournament, which may have led to further invitations and a higher-profile career. In the end, he managed "only" an even result. |
