Artur Mayakovich Yusupov was born on the 13th of February 1960 in Moscow, USSR.

Awarded the IM title in 1977 for his victory in the World Junior Championship and the GM title in 1980, he was a World Title Candidate thrice running, losing the semi-final round in 1986, 1989 and 1992.

Posoo was referring to Yusupov's having been both shot and stabbed and surviving Kasparov vs Yusupov, 1993.

Feb-13-17  Swedish Logician: In 1986 there were FOUR decided Winaver Advanced French games between Sokolov and Yusupov, with net result 2-2. Three earlier ones were in their Candiates match, but Yusupov's Petrosian-like sacrifice of the exchange in this marvellous positional win impressed me the most: A Sokolov vs Yusupov, 1986 It has, however, not been included among his notable games, where it definitely belongs.

Plani(n)c and Timman also played 4 games of Winanwer I think.Not in a row,but on 4 different occasions ! I think Plani(n)c won them all.Timman was stubborn and wanted to exploit a certain variation with an early -Qa5-a4.

Jun-14-19  ughaibu: Pretty good! Just a bit short on menacingness.

  Fusilli: <ughaibu> Thank you! But you are being sarcastic, right? I was disappointed my rendering made him quite menacing, much more than the original picture!

  Fusilli: Thanks Chancho.

Oh, I made a mistake in my earlier post. No need to have Instagram to see it. If you click on the little arrow to the right of my drawing, you can see the original photo I worked from.

Jun-14-19  ughaibu: Fusilli: No sarcasm, I would feel a lot more confident playing against your drawing than against the photograph.

  Fusilli: <ughaibu> lol, me too!

Actually, a real artist told me yesterday that she didn't think he looked menacing, so I guess my perception was distorted.

Jun-15-19  ughaibu: Fusilli: I don't know about this "real artist" stuff, screen prints of your picture under different colour combinations would seem, to me, to put you in the company of Warhol.

lol... <wordfunph> was being humorous, and <perfidious> was being good sport.

<wordfunph>'s post did make me rush to check what he was talking about. I'm happy for captain D. Yusupov and all his passengers.

Aug-24-19  Dionysius1: Oh ... playing along! Sorry guys.
