“TITANIC CHESS THEORIST AND HISTORICAL GRANDMASTER E.A. VASIUKOV DIED AT AGE 85 in a Moscow hospital. Monster figure in Fischer epic events (1956 – their final Chinese dinner together – 1996).” — Jude Acers<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Bonus<\/h4>\n

Eddie “The Laminator” Langla reports:<\/em><\/p>\n

From the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, Vasiukov scored wins in individual games over many top Soviet players, such as Smyslov, Bronstein, Tigran Petrosian, Mikhail Tal, Paul Keres, Mark Taimanov, Efim Geller, and Lev Polugaevsky.<\/p>\n

He was unable to defeat top-ranking Soviet stars such as Viktor Korchnoi, Anatoly Karpov, Spassky, or Stein.<\/p>\n

Guy was a think tank …<\/p>\n

Evgeni Vasiukov vs Mark Taimanov (1954)<\/a><\/strong>
\nHis win over Taimanov is amazing as he crushes Black\u2019s Cordell Defense with a quick 0-0, not 4. c3<\/p>\n

Equally fun was where he beats Taimanov\u2019s Sicilian with a g3 System that interests the hell out of me …<\/p>\n

Note the backwardwardness of Taimanov\u2019s knights in this game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Eddie “The Laminator” Langla and Mr. Kevin “Cowboy” Apper recently played “blindfolded” against Will “The Sculptor” and The Marilyn of New Orleans. Langla lost on an illegal move against Will and Apper won against The Marilyn.<\/p><\/div>\n
