 | | offramp: Soultanbeieff was a truly original player; it's a lot of fun going over his games. |

Soultanbéieff was known for his agressive playing style, which sometimes resulted in short, brilliant games, but which sometimes led to unnecessary defeat. Some of his games are still famous like his games against [E Liubarski vs V Soultanbeieff, 1928 ] or [V Soultanbeieff vs Borodin, 1943 ]. Unlike many other players, Soultanbéieff stayed true to his attacking style when he grew old. He left his name to the Soultanbeieff defence, a line in the Slav Defense which was introduced in the correspondence game Alexander Macht – Soultanbéieff, 1931–32: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 5.a4 e6

 | | offramp: There is a pub near me called the Sultan, in South London. It is a superb pub, really a great local.

Anyway, they are holding a beer festival from 22-24 April 2016. I put this in my diary as <SULTAN B.F.>, and I thought, wow!... Victor Ivanovich Soultanbeieff |
|

 | | offramp: He is player of the day today, because if he had continued to live (or failed to die) he would be 121 today. I went to that Sultan BF that I mentioned earlier. It was very good. It rained a bit but that made the beer last longer. |

Happy birthday, Victor Sultan of Beef!! |

Nov-11-16 | | Gejewe: His book "Guide pratique du jeu des combinaisons" (1950) was reprinted in the early 1974 as "Le maitre de l'attaque : 100 parties de Soultanbeieff" and as a junior player his attacking flair highly impressed me.
In 1981, an open was organised in Liège, Belgium as the "Soultanbeieff memorial" and naturally I have played there.
His son Alexandre Soultanbeieff was a guest of honor in the event, he was a chessplayer in his younger years (mentioned in the book). This Alexandre, an artist by profession, was born in 1926 and still seems to be active.., at 90.. ("seems" as information on internet is not always up to date ) |
|
Nov-11-18 | | Nosnibor: In Fischer`s 60 Memorable Games he referred to his victory over Keres in game 9 as "Meat and Potatoes ".However I am sure he was not thinking of Soultanbeieff when this intro to the game was written. |
|

 | | FSR: Chernev had a lot of Soultanbeieff's victories in <Combinations: The Art of Chess>. That's about the only place I've seen the guy mentioned. |
