|
| May-27-08 | | brankat: Igor A.Zaitsev has been better known as an analyst/second than as a practical player. Worked as one of A.Karpov's seconds. |
|
| May-27-08 | | brankat: Happy Birthday GM Zaitsev! |

 | | Fusilli: Are Igor and Alexander Zaitsev unrelated? They were born three years apart, but in different cities. |
|
| Aug-23-11 | | Dionysius1: <Wordfunph>. There's a man who doesn't do much computer based preparation perhaps? Top GMs say computer analysis teaches them new things about technique. Wish Zaitsev were right though. |
|
| Mar-23-12 | | stanleys: Very strong analyst,creative player with lot of interesting ideas in the openings (Karpov used many of them!)One of the most famous could be seen here Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1978
Zaitsev worked with Petrossian as well in 1970-71 |
|
| May-27-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Happy Birthday, GM Zaitsev!

| May-27-12 | | talisman: happy birthday...korchnoi called your knight suggestion(game 10 or 11) vs karpov a "move you see once in a 100 years." |

 | | GrahamClayton: <Catfriend>,
There is a splendid queen-sac by I.Zaitsev absent in the db. I'm trying to locate and submit it. I mean the one where black's king gets killed on b6, with his pawns behind him, two black knights on a5,b5, and the white knights on a4, b4 do the mate.<Catfriend>,
Here is the game in question:
[Event "Moscow"]
[Site "Moscow"]
[Round "1"]
[Date "1970.??.??"]
[White "Zaitsev, Igor A"]
[Black "Storozhenko, Viktor"]
[Result "1-0"]

| Jun-20-13 | | jerseybob: There was a Zaitsev - forget his first name - attached to the Soviet embassy in D.C. back in the 60's, not in the league of Igor and Alex, but a strong master who played in several local tourneys. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <jerseybob> USCF rating lists beginning in 1965 have <Lev Zaitsev>, first from DC, then from Virginia, rated in the 2150-2250 range. |

 | | perfidious: Here is another diplomat who was a strong player (over 2300 back in the 1970s): Valentin Prahov. |
|
| Jun-24-13 | | jerseybob: Yes, Lev Zaitsev. That's the name I was looking for. I tried cross-referencing him in this database against various D.C.-area players of that era but found not a single sample of his play, even though many lesser players are represented numerous times. |

 | | offramp: I'll always be grateful to Igot Zaitsev for bringing some life to the Closed Spanish. Young players may have no idea how dull the Spanish Inquisition was. It became calcinated to an alarming degree; 20 opening moves were rattled out in minutes. |
