  TheAlchemist: Two wins, and both are really amazing. Are there any other games by him?
Jan-03-09  Karpova: FIDE knows Alexander Ostapenko - born in 1962: http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... There's also an Andrey Ostapenko who played at the Stepchev Memorial in Kiev, 2004: http://mirror01.iptelecom.net.ua/~c... (36th place, seed Nr. 50).

This game might have been played by one of them: S Averchenko vs D Ostapenko, 1998

I found these two games without forenames (though I guess they were played by Dmitry):

[Event "Soviet Union"]
[Site "Soviet Union"]
[White "Reucki"]
[Black "Ostapenko"]
[Date "1970.?.?"]

And also one from 1989 but I'm really not sure about that one:

[Event "Krasnoiarsk"]

[White "Nikolaev, Sergej"]
[Black "Ostapenko"]
[Date "1989.?.?"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

I'd say that further research is necessary before these games are uploaded.

  LIFE Master AJ: Does anyone realize that the guy playing chess today ... might be the son of the person who played this game?

  LIFE Master AJ: I don't have the e-mail anymore. However, many years ago, someone told me that there was a father and son combination named Ostapenko. (I don't remember all the details. I saved the e-mail on my hard drive, but I have had many computer failures since then, in fact - somewhere, on one of my websites - I have a "blog" of my computer upgrades, hard-drive crashes ... that sort of thing.)

I am not saying that I know this for an absolute fact ... yet MANY fathers (all around the world) name their son with the same first name as their own.

If this was true, then this would seem like a very easy and simple way to explain the problem with this player.

I know my Dad was an avid chess player, and that he played chess all his life. (Although he never played in tournaments.) And I know of MANY examples of "father-son" chess players here in the USA.

Just one simple possibility. [There maybe dozens of possible explanations. There also are defintely MANY players with this last name. One old FIDE list that I have has over 20 players named "Ostapenko." If you search this page, http://ratings.fide.com/, (for the last name, "Ostapenko,") you get 7 matches, including two "Dmitry's" and one female player.]

Apr-17-12  qqdos: Right, well let us attribute the games from 1969/70 to Ostapenko senior not incorrectly to a 9-year-old schoolboy unless that is "verified" to use your own word!
Apr-17-12  JoergWalter: <LMAJ> on his web page about Ostapenko:

<Dmitry Ostapenko was a very strong player, probably at least IM strength. (He played in at least one Soviet Championships Semi-Finals.) He played several beautiful games of chess. He wrote articles for chess magazines, and probably played postal chess, but not much else is known about this player. (A search of my database shows that he played in the Soviet Semi-Finals as recently as 1998.)>

So he knows about that guy?

Apr-17-12  cro777: <qqdos: Let us attribute the games from 1969/70 to Ostapenko senior>

The games from 1969/70 were played by <Alexander> Ostapenko (you may call him senior)

Ostapenko - Yartsev
Ostapenko - Kurkin
Ostapenko - Fomenko
Reucki - Ostapenko
Nikolaev - Ostapenko

(Alexander Ostapenko, born 1962, is not the same player).

FM <Dmitry> Ostapenko participated in the Russian Championships Semi-Finals in Novosibirsk 1998. The game

Sergej Averchenko - Dmitry Ostapenko

is from that tournament. (I have seven Dmitry's games from that semi-finals).

Apr-17-12  qqdos: <cro777> thnx. If you are right - and I believe you are - then this game must be attributed to Alexander Ostapenko senior. It is wrong as it currently stands. Does your source give the correct spelling of the player of the Black pieces and his first name?
Apr-17-12  cro777: No first names of Ostapenko's opponents in the OM database.

I have the game Ostapenko - Yartsev in correspondence chess database as well. It might be a CC game.

The correct spelling is Yartsev.

Apr-18-12  qqdos: thnx again!
