1. Introduce
Martin (born Martin Viktor Radoslav), is a Bulgarian retired chess grandmaster. Born in Paris, France, Martin's parents were one of the best chess player at 1970s. He is 6ft tall and looks older than his age (47 - 55). He has 4 children and they are grandmasters. Martin played for French team from 1990 to 2007, German team from 2007 to 2010, American team from 2010 to 2015, and Bulgarian team from 2015 - 2019. "Why he became 250 elo rated? He was a grandmaster." - Many of you would say that. Because a traffic accident in 2019 affected him, makes him from a master to a beginner, learning chess.
2. Iconic games
Martin Viktor Radoslav (2683) - Anatoly Karpov (2756) (1995)

Martin played Rxf6!!, Karpov made a mistake by taking Martin's rook. Qxa6 played by Martin, Bc8 by Karpov, Then Rf1 f5... and... Rxf5!! Karpov tries to defend by playing Qd8, but it's too late. Rh5 by Martin, and no matter what Karpov plays, Martin will play Qh7#!!! What a brilliant game by Martin!
