Apr-19-04 | | WMD: Alexander Nikolayevich Zaitsev (1935-71). GM in 1967. Came equal first with Polugaevsky in Soviet championship in Alma-Ata, in 1968-69, but lost the play-off. 'Zaitsev came to a sad end. Wishing to marry, he decided first to remedy a limp by having one leg lengthened; although he was otherwise a robust and healthy man, he died of thrombosis as a consequence of the operation.' (Oxford Companion) |

Apr-19-04 | | Kenkaku: <WMD> <Wishing to marry, he decided first to remedy a limp by having one leg lengthened; although he was otherwise a robust and healthy man, he died of thrombosis as a consequence of the operation.> And yet he has a son? |

Feb-07-05 | | Resignation Trap: Due to different transliterations to English, German or Dutch, his name has been spelled many ways on this website:
Alexander N Zaitsev = Alexander Zaitsev = Saizew = Saizev Alexander . |

Jun-15-05 | | Knight13: Happy Birthday, Mr. Zaitsev! Now you are 65 years old.... That is.... If you are still alive. Anyway, have a good afterlife! |

 | | WannaBe: My dear chap, <Knight13> If Mr. Zaitsev is still alive, he would be 70 today, 2005 - 1935 = 70. If my quick math is right. |
|
Jun-15-05 | | Knight13: <wannabe> Oops. I forgot to count the 05 thing. I just did the 2000-1935. Thanks for reminding, though. |

Jun-15-06 | | Prugno: <DeepBlade> Sorry to disappoint you, but that is GM Igor Zaitsev, Karpov's second for a long time, inventor of many great ideas - not only in the openings - and fortunately still alive. Alexander Zaitsev was a brilliant player, but more of a practical one, so I don't think he has any new variations bearing his name. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Just for the record, <BIDMONFA>'s picture of Zaitsev is actually one of Salo Flohr. |
|
Jun-13-09 | | myschkin: . . .
plus <BID> should submit his pic via the the Spanish fed a tiempo! http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... |
|
Jun-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: <DeepBlade> doesn't the Zaitsev continue 9...Bb7 10 d4 Re8? |
|
Jun-15-09 | | WhiteRook48: player of the day again?! |

En efecto, la foto no es de Zaitsev, sino de Flohr. |

Nov-28-10 | | I play the Fred: Eugene Torre is cited as the first Asian GM but the distinction should rightfully go to Zaitsev, born and raised in Vladivostok, in Asian Russia. |
|
Nov-28-10 | | BobCrisp: He could have been born in a stable, but that wouldn't have made him a horse. |
|
Nov-28-10 | | I play the Fred: So a person from Asia wasn't Asian then, Bob? I don't understand how Zaitsev doesn't count. |
|
Nov-28-10 | | BobCrisp: Does he look Asian to you? http://www.e3e5.com/upload/articles... (assuming that's him). |
|
Nov-28-10 | | I play the Fred: No, but I don't think that his appearance has anything to do with his point of origin. If they had called Zaitsev the first black GM, well, that would be nonsense. But he <is> from Asia. |
|
Nov-28-10 | | BobCrisp: He's from Asia but he's not Asian. |
|
Nov-28-10 | | I play the Fred: I see what you're saying, but I read the phrase "Asia's first GM" as referencing the region, not the player's ethnic background. I suppose <chessgames.com> decides this by ethnicity, not regionally. |
