May-27-04  sergeidave: Is this Botvinnik a Mihail Botvinnik's relative or something? Just curious...
May-28-04  Benzol: I think her name is Irina Botvinnik. No relation as far as I know.
Oct-25-04  LancelotduLac: No, *his* name is Ilia. He lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and used to be my coach before I moved back to the states. He is of no relation to Mikhail Botvinnik :(
Oct-25-04  who: It is unlikely that this is your coach seeing as *he* is playing in women's tournaments. See http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
Dec-17-05  LancelotduLac: Oops, my mistake. Irina Botvinnik also lives in Israel, and *she* is not related to either Mikhail or Ilia.
