  LIFE Master AJ: Just this guy's name ... is a mouthful.

He might be a good candidate for my "forgotten players" page.

Jan-27-13  LastDaysofSaloFlohr: Bonch Osmolovsky isn't too difficult to say. I actually quite enjoy saying it out loud.

He beat Ragozin and he beat Geller so he was clearly capable.

Jun-08-14  bas1191: He was a close friend of Yuri Averbakh, who speaks in admiring words of him in his autobiography
Sep-06-16  Albanius: One of the great names in chess!
Did he ever play Znosko-Borovsky?
They were both active in the 1940s.
Sep-06-16  Straclonoor: To <Albanius> I think not. Znovsko-Borovsky was in emigration in this period, Bonch-Osmolovsky was in USSR
Jun-16-18  Raginmund: I play his variation agains King's Gambit :)
I was playing against the program 1. e4 e5 2. f4 ... thought for seconds, so I decided do a novelty exf4 3. Nf3 and... Ne7!! I defeated the program several times, I thought it was a variation created by me, but the program was written Bonsch-osmolovsky Variation :)
