play online chess |  Subject: Yuri Sakkharov
Message:
Has anybody heard of this person?
Is a "Yuri Sakharov memorial" tournament a major tournament?
I knew a politician/writer named Sakharov - but never a chessplayer.
Anybody know anything?

Message:
Couldn't be Garry, cuz he wasn't born until '63. His mother's maiden name was Kasparian, later Kasparov, but his father's name was Vajnshtejn. After his dad died around 1970, he took the Soviet surname "Kasparov" which, as you pointed out, is the Russian version of the Armenian "Kasparian."
Don't know if his dad ever played chess or not, but he wouldn't have played under the name "Kasparian" as neither it or "Kasparov" was his surname.

play online chess | Kasparian
Message:
I think this name would probably refer to Genrikh Kasparian. I remember that he was given in a book as having blundered in a game by either missing a mate or trying to move a pinned knight. A quick search reveals that he did in fact play a game against Sakharov, and was apparently famous for his endgame studies.
