Grandmaster Yuri Averbakh, from Moscow, is the world’s oldest living Chess Grandmaster. His first recorded game is from 1939. Yuri Averbakh has competed against nearly every chess world champion, including: Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov! His game against Kotov from what is widely considered the most prestigious chess tournament in history, Zurich 1953, is considered the most beautiful from the tournament, and one of the most beautiful ever played.
In addition to his innumerable successes as a player, Yuri Averbakh is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the endgame. His books on the endgame are considered indispensable Classics.
Join us Wednesday, 2/9 at 7:20 pm for this once in a lifetime opportunity! Yuri will lecture on the endgame and his own games and take questions from the audience!
