| Oct-08-09 | | tranquil simplicity: HI! There seems to be very scant or no info at all about a very strong Chess player (GM?) with a line named after him (Sicilian Taimanov- Bastrikov Variation). ANY INFO?? |
|
| Dec-23-10 | | Maatalkko: Ditto the request for info. His Taimanov sub-system, if indeed it is his, is pretty crucial. |
