Oct-18-17 | | brainzugzwang: Wow, pretty sketchy bio so far for someone who is still living after 95 years, and just 16 games listed, although those include wins over Ragozin and Polugaevsky (twice with Black). Hope someone can fill in more. But since no one else has jumped in, I'll say it -- Happy 95th Birthday, N. Gusev. |

 | | MissScarlett: How do you square this with the claim he was born in 1922? You must show your working out. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: According to Russian wiki Gusev was a teacher by profession. Since 1946 to 1961 he lived and worked in Tajikistan and during that period he won the championship of Tajik SSR for eleven times. Later he moved to Kazakhstan, where he played for sporting club Dinamo Alma-Ata. In 1964 he tied for the first place together with Noskov and Nikitin in Kazakh championship but then he lost in play-off and Noskov became the champion. He was also quite successful chess trainer, who trained Aida Muslimova among others. |

Apr-26-25 | | Chessdreamer: The game is in the database, Y Gusev vs E Auerbach, 1946 |
|
Apr-26-25
 | | Sally Simpson: Thanks chessdreamer, it is there with 7 pages of comments. They have spelt Yuri Averbakh as E Auerbach. I'll send a correction slip. |
|
Apr-26-25
 | | Stonehenge: https://al20102007.narod.ru/ch_dso/... has: E Auerbakh, with <Shahmaty v SSSR 5-1972, p.17> as the source. |

 | | OhioChessFan: I was curious about the Gusev Countergambit. I could only find one game in the database he played it, and he was crushed by Korchnoi. Other sites haven't been useful either. Korchnoi vs N Gusev, 1956 |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Edward Winter likewise appeals to Shamaty v SSSR https://www.chesshistory.com/winter... |
|

 | | Stonehenge: Thanks.
(it really should be here: Yuri Gusev). |
|
Apr-27-25 | | Olavi: The game was given as Gusev vs. Yuri Averbakh by Euwe in Losbladige in 1951, with detailed analysis by Euwe. So that is the probable source of the mistake. |
|
Apr-27-25 | | Olavi: It is in Losbladige 25.11.1951, and it is Yuri Gusev there, I didn't look. |
