Aug-04-07  Kopenhagener: Perhaps also worth mentioning, he was Olympic champion in Nice 1974. His teammates were Karpov, Korchnoi, Spassky, Petrosian and Tal !!
Jan-19-09  WhiteRook48: Great choice for a player of the day...
Wow, he was actually teamed with Karpov, Korchnoi, Spassky, Petrosian, and Tal? All those great players? And I haven't even heard of him until today!!
Apr-14-10  dagwood2005: The guy has a plus score against Smyslov...not bad!
Jan-19-12  brankat: Happy Birthday GM Kuzmin!
Jan-19-12  wordfunph: from echesspedia..

<He has also been a successful coach; first in the 1980’s with Maia Chiburdanidze, who won three world titles, and then in 2002 he had another major success with Ruslan Ponomariov, who became the 16th World Champion.

Kuzmin was a member of the Soviet team which won the gold in the 1974 Olympiad. At the same competition he won a bronze medal for the third best individual score at board six.

Best ELO: 2580 in 1998.>

Jan-19-15  waustad: I guess there is little kibitzing since Russia was and is so very deep. Happy b'day. I'd heard the name but never studied the games.

He played te classical Ruy Lopez as black often, a favorite of mine.

Feb-28-20  Eastfrisian: He died today according to German Wikipedia. R.I.P.
Feb-28-20  spingo: May he rest in peace.
