Go @timur_gareyev, what a great first day! @ChessHackney is rooting for you in the @FIDE_chess World Rapid and Blitz. "Chess sometimes feels like you're getting punched!" https://t.co/Q6arWAUFnJ
Sad news, Sveshnikov was a influential thinker, with one of the major chess-openings bearing his name.
I saw him play in his hometown Chelyabinsk in 1991, and his board was surrounded by spectators.
RIP.
@EmilSutovsky@rajachess We are all part of chess history in our own little way. @rajachess 's part is certainly larger than most of ours. I don't think he was claiming more than that. Go Teimour!
