|
| May-01-11 | | Dionysius: Hi Chessgames.There are so many images of the great man from a search of google images that I can't see why you haven't included one. Never mind, I'm off now, so over to you. Best wishes all, Dion |
|
| May-01-11 | | DanielBryant: In all seriousness, I agree it's a shame that such an important player doesn't have a picture. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Regarding <chessgames.com> uploading a photo of <Lev Polugaevsky>, and many other masters who currently don't have a photo on the profile: Because <chessgames.com> is a registered business, they have to be very careful that any photo they upload is free of copyright claim. There are only two kinds of photos they can upload safely- 1. Photos with permission of copyright holder
2. Photos that are documented to be free of copyright claim. Look at the Wikipedia photograph here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:L...
Now look at the copyright information, particularly this part: "To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale." Even though the copyright holder of this photo is not actually known, it's still not safe for a <for-profit> business to upload it. |

| Sep-01-11 | | lost in space: Lev without photo. Scandal! He was one of the best in his time. Only Karpov and Korchnoi were better. |

| | perfidious: <lost in space: ....He was one of the best in his time. Only Karpov and Korchnoi were better.> He was certainly one of the strongest players in captivity for a long while, but if he even got as high as third in the world, it wasn't for very long. To state that only those two K's were stronger is a stretch; by 1982, there was a third K in the mix, and when Fischer was active, fuhgeddaboutit! Even in the period 1972-82, there were players who could make a case to be as high as third, whereas Polu never made it to even a Candidates final, same as Geller, who's worshipped by some fanboys here because he had those fine records against all the world champions. |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | Korifej: <Lost in time>Yes!Poluga was very tough opponent for all,especially for 8th WC Mikhail Tal. |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | M.D. Wilson: Yes, but less so than Korchnoi. |
|
| Feb-14-12 | | brankat: <perfidious> <He was certainly one of the strongest players in captivity for a long while,> Captivity?? |
|
| Feb-14-12 | | King Death: <brankat> That's a figure of speech I've heard once in awhile too. |
|
| Mar-04-12 | | StrongSquare: <brankat> <Captivity?>...LOL..it's a Cold-War thing, you had to be around in those days to understand. |
|
| Nov-17-12 | | Cemoblanca: No profile pic for Lev??? Noooooo! ;) Just found 1! :D http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n3U4gKrbZ... |
|
| Nov-20-12 | | brankat: R.I.P. GM Polugaevski. |
|
| Nov-20-12 | | Abdel Irada: <SirChrislov: Sir<thegoodanarchist>, Sir<I play the Fred>, The proper pronounciation of his last name is <pah-loo-gah-YEV-skee> according to Bill Wall.> I thought it would be more like "paul-you-guy-EV-skee." As to the first name and patronymic, I suppose they'd translate as Louis Son of Abraham. |
|
| Nov-20-12 | | Abdel Irada: <brankat: <perfidious> <He was certainly one of the strongest players in captivity for a long while,> Captivity??>
That reminds me of when I played at Mechanics' Institute in 1984. I enlisted in the Navy, and when I came back on leave, Alexander Sinkievich (kibitzer emeritus) greeted me with: "You escape long time!" |
|
| Nov-20-12 | | gars: <Maatalkko>: Karpov's comment on Polugaevsky repeats Tal's words about Semion Furman in "The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal". |

 | | Eggman: <<To state that only those two K's were stronger is a stretch ... whereas Polu never made it to even a Candidates final>> Saying that only the two Ks were stronger doesn't mean that Polugaevsky was the third best player in the world, it just means that he was tied for third, and I don't think this is much of a stretch at all for the period 1976-1980. And Polugaevsky didn't make it to the candidates final in 1980 because he was eliminated in the semi-final by Korchnoi. Given that Korchnoi only prevailed in overtime, I'd say that Polugaevsky had great chances to become World Championship challenger at the time. |

| Nov-20-12 | | talisman: he certainly had an "indian sign" on Tal. |

 | | offramp: If you study his games you are a poluologist. |
|
| Mar-27-13 | | TugasKamagong: I kinda hope the Polish GM Grzegorz Gajewski will produce a son he'll name Paulo. Seems to me "Paulo Gajewski" would be pronounced very much like "Polugaevsky." |
