 | | Chessical: Vladimir Antoshin,International Chess Grandmaster (1964), made siginificant contributions to the theory of the Dutch. 10th 22nd USSR championship 1955, 7th 35th USSR Open Championship 1967. |

| May-21-07 | | Themofro: Creator of the Antoshin variation of the Bird's Opening, early c3, d3, aiming for Qc2 to back up the e4 push. There has sadly been a varation found that gives black solid equality in it, so not as daring as some other Bird's Opening lines. Still, almost know one knows the black line in it, and it is a fine shock weapon, even if someone is prepared for you playing the Bird's, they WON'T be for you playing the Antoshin. Overall a fine contribution to chess made by this similarly excellent GM. |

 | | FSR: Vladimir Antoshin died at the chessic age of 64, like Robert James Fischer, William Steinitz, Howard Staunton, Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander, Vladimir Savon, Albin Planinc, Edmar Mednis, Vitaly Halberstadt, Giulio Cesare Polerio, Octavio Troianescu, Maximilian Ujtelky, Paul Tautvaisas, Claude Frizzel Bloodgood, and Karl Marx. |

| | Fusilli: <FSR: Vladimir Antoshin died at the chessic age of 64> Just barely! The day before his 65th birthday. |
|
May-31-22
| | FSR: <Fusilli> OTOH, there was some poor guy, I believe a FIDE Master and chess teacher in New York, who died last year a day before his 64th birthday. |

| | Fusilli: <FSR> All this said, you know that GMs, or chess players in general, are not more likely to die at 64 than many other ages, right? What is rather odd is that ages at death of world champions has come in pairs three times: Capablanca and Alekhine at 53, Tal and Petrosian at 55, and as you noted, Steinitz and Fischer at 64. |

| | FSR: <Fusilli> Of course I know that. I'm far from stupid. It has taken me years to compile that list. |

 | | perfidious: Another odd pair in death as they were in life: Capablanca and Lasker died in the same New York hospital, less than fourteen months apart. |
|
Jun-01-22
| | FSR: <perfidious> Max Pavey died at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, as Capablanca and Lasker had. Also Anne Bancroft, not known for her chess prowess. (My memory amazes even me.) |
|
Jun-01-22
| | perfidious: <FSR>, had not known of Pavey and Bancroft also meeting their end at Mt Sinai. |
|
Jun-01-22
| | FSR: <perfidious> No doubt many other famous people have as well. |
