PRONUNCIATION:
[what is this?]

Artur Mayakovich Yusupov (né Арту́р Маякович Юсу́пов), aka Artur Majakowitsch Jussupow, born Moscow, USSR.

Awarded the IM title in 1977 for his victory in the World Junior Championship and the GM title in 1980, he was a World Title Candidate thrice running, losing the semi-final round in 1986, 1989 and 1992.

Other tournament results include 2nd in the USSR Championship of 1979, 1st at Erevan 1982, 4th= at Linares 1983, 1st at Tunis 1985, 1st= at Montpellier Candidates 1985 and 3rd at Linares 1988.

In the early 1990s, he interrupted burglars in his Moscow flat, was shot and was fortunate to survive. Soon after his recovery, Jussupow moved to Germany, where he now works as a writer and trainer (he became a FIDE Senior Trainer in 2005). Jussupow was German Champion in 2005. He is married to Nadja Jussupow.

  Fusilli: <ughaibu> lol, me too!

Actually, a real artist told me yesterday that she didn't think he looked menacing, so I guess my perception was distorted.

Jun-15-19  ughaibu: Fusilli: I don't know about this "real artist" stuff, screen prints of your picture under different colour combinations would seem, to me, to put you in the company of Warhol.

lol... <wordfunph> was being humorous, and <perfidious> was being good sport.

<wordfunph>'s post did make me rush to check what he was talking about. I'm happy for captain D. Yusupov and all his passengers.

I second that.

Mar-03-24  pcalugaru: Probably my Favorite GM of all time!

Loved his playing style! His opening choices were what made him a favorite.

Few elite players in his class went back to the 1920s and 1930s took those openings and used them consistently like he did.

  jinkinson: I am confused, is this guy's last name spelled "Yusupov" (as I had always thought prior to today) or "Jussupow" (as it is shown at the top of this page)? Is one of these a romanization or other kind of transliteration of the other?
Sep-07-24  Retireborn: Yusupov is the English version of his name, and Jussupow is the German version. He acquired German nationality some years ago.

The "correct" version would be the original in Cyrillic or Russian, but cg spares us that.

  perfidious: Had CG existed during the 1930s, Bogolyubov would have been subject to the same line of questioning, as he took German citizenship in 1926 and remained there.

  Fusilli: I appreciate that <cg> has decided to spell his name as <Yusupov> as opposed to the German spelling <Jussupow>. I grew up speaking Spanish and knowing him as Yusupov, and that was the spelling in English too. The spelling Jussupow is courteous to the German users of this website, but it really made it complicated to find him for those of us who live our lives in English. <cg> is a website of international reach, but it is also based in the U.S. and most users are English speakers, so this made sense to me. So, thank you, <cg>

  paulalbert: Transliteration into English of names in the Cyrillic alphabet ( Russian, Ukrainian, etc. ) are not consistent and certainly vary into English and German because some of the same letters in those languages can have very different pronunciation.

The German version Aljechin certainly gets closer to the Russian pronunciation of his name in Cyrillic than the English Alekhine.

  alexmagnus: Even FIDE is inconsistent with its spelling of Russian names. Nepomniachtchi is transliterated the French way, Karjakin the German one, Grischuk the English one. And then there is the curious case of Kateryna Lagno, who after changing to from Ukraine to Russia kept her Ukrainian first name but russified her last name (I wonder if FIDE cannot handle a first name change for technical reasons?)
Nov-22-24  stone free or die: <PaulAlbert> in an ideal world <CG> would be able to accommodate user preferences, including a <en-de> type switch.

Maybe eventually even a global <de> switch (since google translate is so good these days).

Taken to the extreme, users would have a preference table for customized player names.

Nov-22-24  stone free or die: RE: <Yusupov vs Jussupow>

There's been a lot of discussion on this in the Bistro over the years (including recently).

It should be noted that despite changing his name on his FIDE card, he continues to publish his English language chess books under <Yusupov>.

  Troller: Let us be clear:

Арту́р Маякович Юсу́пов - Russian
Artur Jussupow - German
Arthur Youssoupov - French
Artur Yusúpov - Spanish
Artoer Joesoepov - Dutch
Artur Jusupow - Polish
Artur Juszupov - Magyar
Artur Jusupov - Italian/Danish/Finnish
Artur Yusupov - English

Looking at the above list, definitely French or Dutch has the best flair.

Nov-27-24  stone free or die: <Troller> cute. Of course the list wasn't exhaustive, here's a couple more:

阿圖爾·尤蘇波夫 - Chinese (traditional)
არტურ იუსუპოვი - Georgian
अर्तुर युसुपोव - Hindi
أرتور يوسوبوف - Arabic

All have their own sense of flair.
