He is a Romanian chess grandmaster who received the title in 1993. His federation is Romania and his current FIDE rating as of March 2026 stands at 2437 with a peak rating of 2604 reached in December 2013. — — He began his international career representing Moldova at the 30th Chess Olympiad in Manila in 1992. He subsequently represented Romania at the Chess Olympiads in 1994 1996 1998 2002 2004 2006 2012 and 2014. — — Nevednichy competed in the FIDE World Chess Championship in 2000 where he was eliminated in the second round by Jeroen Piket. He also participated in the World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk in 2007 and was eliminated in the second round. He tied for first place at the Paks tournament in 2003 with Kaido Kόlaots and tied for first at Timisoara in 2006 with Constantin Lupulescu. He won the Romanian national chess championship in 2008 and again in 2012. — — As white his repertoire includes a variety of openings with frequent use of 1 e4. He has employed the Sicilian Defense as black particularly the Open Classical Richter-Rauzer Variation along with the Modern Defense and King's Indian Defense. No specific emphasis on 1 b4 as a primary or frequent choice appears in his recorded games across major databases though he has played a wide range of systems consistent with grandmaster-level preparation. — — His playing style reflects solid positional understanding combined with tactical alertness typical of long-term grandmasters who maintain competitive results into their later career.

He holds the title of international master. His FIDE ratings as of the latest available data stand at 2344 in standard, 2364 in rapid, and 2325 in blitz. He represents the Russian federation and has been active in chess for over 20 years. He graduated from the Kuban State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism with a degree in educational psychology in 2012. He works as a chess coach, particularly with children, and some of his students have become champions and prizewinners at regional and national youth levels. — — In his competitive career Vastrukhin has achieved multiple regional and district titles. He won the Southern Federal District rapid chess championship in 2018. He has been a multiple champion of his city and region as well as prizewinner in Russian youth and adult championships. He secured victories in several international tournaments and stages of the Russian Cup. In 2019 he finished in the top 50 at the world blitz championship. He has participated regularly in strong Russian events such as the Aeroflot Open, various grand prix series including the Black Sea Grand Prix, and rapid and blitz tournaments across Russia and neighboring regions. He has also competed in team and individual events in the Southern Federal District and beyond, often performing solidly against higher-rated opponents. — — As Black he has frequently employed the French Defense, particularly the Winawer Variation with the move 6...Nc6 after 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3, a line he has played consistently for more than a decade. Other common Black openings in his repertoire include the Modern Defense against 1.d4 and the Caro-Kann Defense in the Gurgenidze System. As White his games show use of the Queen's Pawn Game and the King's Indian Attack. He has occasionally played the Polish Opening or Sokolsky Opening beginning with 1.b4. — — Vastrukhin's playing style appears combative and suited to sharp, unbalanced positions, especially in the Winawer French where he accepts structural imbalances in exchange for dynamic counterplay. He maintains a presence in both over-the-board tournaments and online events. His legacy rests on consistent performances in Russian regional and national circuits, contributions as a coach developing young talent in the Krasnodar region and adjacent areas, and a dedicated adherence to specific theoretical lines that have brought him success against strong opposition over many years. He continues to compete actively in rapid, blitz, and classical formats. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Volkmann,Andre Jordi (2125) - Silva,Ezequiel Demetras (1810), 9th Floripa Open (2), 2023. — — Andrι Jordi Volkmann is a Brazilian chess player born in 2000. He resides in Jaraguα do Sul and holds the national master title on chess.com. His FIDE standard rating stands at 2136, with a rapid rating of 2040 and a blitz rating of 2005. His peak standard rating reached 2158. — — Volkmann has competed in various Brazilian tournaments, including the Brazilian Championship, the Catarinense Championship, the Floripa Chess Festival and Open events, and the FIDE World Amateur Chess Championship in the U2300 section. He has also participated in international amateur events. Database records show him with hundreds of rated games, including a win percentage around 52 percent overall and higher success rates when playing white. He has secured victories against strong opponents, such as grandmaster Alexandr Fier in one recorded encounter, and has drawn or lost to other titled players depending on the event. — — In terms of openings, his repertoire as white prominently features uncommon lines, with a notable preference for 1.b4, the Sokolsky Opening (also known as the Polish or Orangutan Opening). Chessbase statistics highlight strong results in A00 codes, including the Sokolsky and Bird's Opening variants, where he has achieved high scoring percentages in played games. As black, he has faced a range of responses and employed defenses such as those in the Queen's Gambit Declined complex or other closed systems. — — His playing style leans toward unorthodox and flank-based setups with white, aiming to steer games into unfamiliar territory early on while maintaining solidity. This approach often leads to complex middlegames where preparation in irregular positions provides an edge. He demonstrates solid calculation and endgame technique in available games, with competitive results against both peers and stronger opposition in open tournaments. — — Volkmann remains an active competitor in regional and national Brazilian chess circuits as well as select international amateur events. His career reflects consistent participation and gradual rating improvement from junior levels into adulthood, contributing to the depth of chess activity in Santa Catarina and Brazil. No major international titles or world championship qualifications are recorded for him, but he continues to compete at a level competitive for untitled or nationally titled players around the 2100-2200 Elo range. — — Note created March 2026.

Gasanov is a correspondence chess player from Azerbaijan who has participated in events organized by the International Correspondence Chess Federation. His ICCF rating reached 1968 according to rating reports published in 2011 and he was listed with a provisional rating around 1800 in earlier team events from 2010. — — He competed in the USA versus Rest of the World Under 2100 rating match and in tournaments such as the LSS No Engine Cup Preliminary sections. No records of over-the-board FIDE titles or major tournament victories appear in available public sources and no birth date or formal biography details beyond his federation affiliation and ICCF activity are documented. — — His chess career centers on correspondence play at a mid-level competitive standard without notable high-profile achievements or national team selections beyond the mentioned international matches.

Liepert,Luise – Sotter,Gerlinde, Bayern–ch (Women), 1982. — — Luise Liepert was a prominent Austrian chess player who became a central figure in women's chess during the mid-twentieth century. Born in 1914, she represented Austria in various international competitions and was instrumental in establishing the presence of Austrian women on the global stage. — — Her chess career was marked by significant domestic success. She won the Austrian Women's Chess Championship on three occasions, specifically in 1950, 1951, and 1954. These victories solidified her position as the top female player in her country during that era. Internationally, she competed in several high-level events, including the Women's World Championship Candidates tournaments. Her participation in the 1955 Candidates tournament in Moscow was a career highlight, where she faced the elite of women's chess, including several Soviet masters who dominated the sport at the time. — — Liepert is perhaps most distinguished by her choice of openings. She was a dedicated practitioner of the Sokolsky Opening, characterized by the move 1.b4. This opening is also known as the Polish Opening or the Orangutan. At a time when the chess world was focused heavily on the Ruy Lopez, the Queen's Gambit, and the Sicilian Defense, her consistent use of 1.b4 was considered highly unconventional. The move seeks to control space on the queenside and develop the bishop to b2, often leading to unique pawn structures and tactical patterns that were unfamiliar to many of her opponents. — — Her playing style was defined by this preference for the unorthodox and a strong positional foundation. By steering the game into the less-charted waters of 1.b4, she was able to utilize her deep specialized knowledge to outmaneuver opponents who were more accustomed to mainstream theoretical lines. This approach required a high degree of creativity and independence of thought. — — The legacy of Luise Liepert is twofold. First, she remains a pioneer for Austrian women's chess, having demonstrated that players from her region could compete at the Candidates level. Second, she is remembered within the niche community of opening theorists for her contributions to the 1.b4 complex. Her games are still studied by those interested in the Sokolsky Opening, as they provide early examples of the strategic themes and pitfalls associated with the move. — — She passed away in 2005, leaving behind a reputation as one of the most original Austrian players of her generation. — — Note created March 2026.

(=1.Nf3 A15: English Opening: 1...Nf6 1...Nf6 2.c4 b6 3.b4 Bb7 4.Bb2 e6 5.a3 Be7 6.e3) — — Sunilduth Lyna Narayanan was born on 10 January 1998 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. He earned the international master title in 2014 and the grandmaster title in 2015, becoming the 41st grandmaster from India. His peak FIDE rating reached 2695 in March 2024, with a world ranking as high as number 40 in May 2024. As of March 2026 his FIDE rating stands at 2608, placing him around number 17 in India. — — Narayanan began playing chess as a child after watching his mother compete in a tournament. He received early training from former Kerala state champion P. Sreekumar and later from international master Varugeese Koshy, as well as grandmasters including Praveen Thipsay, Alexander Goloshchapov, and Avetik Grigoryan. He also attended a training camp with grandmaster Yevgeny Vladimirov in 2011. His family made significant sacrifices to support his chess career, with his father leaving his job to accompany him to tournaments. — — In junior chess Narayanan won the Kerala state under-9 championship in 2007 and secured multiple state titles in under-11, under-13, sub-junior, and junior categories. At the national level he won gold in the National Junior Championship in 2014. Internationally he claimed gold in the Commonwealth under-16 championship in 2012, silver in the Asian Junior Championship in 2015 and 2016, gold in the Asian Junior Blitz Championship in 2016, and bronze in the World Junior Championship in 2016 held in Odisha. He represented India on first board at the under-16 Chess Olympiad, contributing to a bronze medal for the team. — — Among his notable senior achievements are victory in the Ellobregat Open in Spain in 2019 after a playoff, a win in the Chess.com Titled Tuesday online tournament in 2019 against a strong field including Hikaru Nakamura and Wesley So, and a bronze medal in the Qatar Masters Open in 2023. He has competed in the FIDE World Cup and achieved a silver medal with the Alkaloid team in the European Club Cup in 2024. In 2017 he defeated then-reigning world blitz champion Sergey Karjakin in the Aeroflot Blitz tournament. Narayanan has also participated in club competitions and open tournaments across Europe and Asia, earning prize money estimated around 70,000 US dollars in his career. — — His playing style is described as balanced, combining solid preparation with efforts to improve weaknesses through analysis of his own games. He has shown strong handling of certain middlegame structures, such as those arising from the exchange Ruy Lopez. As black he has frequently faced the Sicilian Defense, Ruy Lopez, Nimzo-Indian Defense, and Queen's Gambit Declined. As white his games include various queen's pawn openings and other systems, though no single dominant repertoire stands out as unconventional or centered on 1.b4. He dedicates several hours daily to training, mixing study, online play, and review of classical games for deeper understanding beyond pure engine evaluation. — — Narayanan has been recognized for sportsmanship, such as declining a walkover against a grandmaster at age 11 to play the game fairly. He has contributed to chess in Kerala and India as part of the generation of grandmasters emerging from the country. He maintains a professional approach focused on reaching higher ratings and contributing to team events like the Olympiad while balancing academic excellence, having scored perfectly in his higher secondary examinations. — — Note created March 2026.

He has set records for the highest blitz rating on Chess.com including peaks above 3400. He authored the book Bullet Chess One Minute to Mate in 2009. — — Nakamura employs a wide variety of openings often selecting lines to surprise opponents or avoid heavy theoretical battles. With the white pieces he frequently plays 1 e4 leading into systems such as the Ruy Lopez or the King's Indian Attack. He has also used 1 b3 the Nimzo-Larsen Attack and on occasion 1 b4 the Orangutan or Polish Opening particularly in online rapid and blitz games. With the black pieces he has relied on defenses including the Sicilian the King's Indian setups with 1 g6 and responses tailored to specific opponents. His repertoire shows flexibility with a preference for positions that allow creative and tactical play rather than strict adherence to main-line theory. — — Nakamura's playing style combines tactical sharpness speed of calculation and aggression. Early in his career he favored uncompromising attacks and risk-taking moves to create complications. Over time he developed greater positional depth and defensive resilience while maintaining a dynamic approach that excels under time pressure. He is especially dominant in rapid blitz and bullet formats where his quick decision-making and intuitive feel for positions give him a significant edge. His confidence and ability to thrive in chaotic positions have earned him the nickname the H Bomb in some circles. — — Nakamura's legacy includes his role as one of the strongest American players since Bobby Fischer and his contributions to popularizing chess through streaming and content creation on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. He has helped bring the game to a broader audience by blending elite-level play with engaging commentary and personality. While he has not captured the classical world championship title his consistent presence among the world's elite his success across all formats and his influence on modern online chess have established him as a key figure in the game's contemporary era. — — Note created March 2026.

Laveryd,Peter – Lindberg,Bengt, Ch Sweden (master's group) Borlange, 1995. — — Peter Laveryd is a Swedish chess player born in 1970. He holds the FIDE Master title and represents Sweden in competitions. His highest recorded Elo rating reached 2440, with a peak database rating of 2414 and later ratings around 2340 to 2342 in standard time controls. — — Laveryd competed in Swedish team events such as the Elitserien and other domestic tournaments from the mid-1990s into the 2010s. He participated in games against stronger players including grandmasters. His overall record in available databases shows a balanced but competitive performance across roughly 150 documented games, with solid results as White. He appeared in team selections and open tournaments in Sweden during the 1990s and 2000s. — — Regarding openings, Laveryd has employed a variety of systems. As White he has frequently used the Sicilian Closed (B23) with good results, along with the King's Indian Defense setups from the Black side (A48). He has also played the Four Knights Game (C47) and other standard lines. While some sources note interest in flank openings, there is no dominant record of exclusive reliance on 1.b4 (the Sokolsky or Orangutan Opening) as his primary choice; his games reflect a pragmatic selection suited to opponent preparation and tournament needs. — — His playing style is characterized by solid positional understanding, endgame proficiency, and resilience in complex positions, consistent with many Swedish players of his generation influenced by figures like Ulf Andersson. Games featuring Laveryd occasionally appear in endgame instruction materials as examples of practical play and errors under pressure. — — Laveryd contributed to Swedish chess through consistent participation in club and team events over decades. He remains active in online platforms and domestic circles into his fifties, maintaining a rating that places him among experienced masters in Sweden. His career exemplifies dedicated amateur and semi-professional involvement without major international title pursuits or world-ranking breakthroughs. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Schulz,Hans_Juergen – Woelfelschneider,Peter, TT–12.02 ETC, 2004. — — Hans-Juergen Schulz was born in 1944 in Germany. He died on June 18, 2023, at the age of 78 after a long illness. — — He joined the Hamburger Schachklub von 1830 in 1998 and remained an active member for nearly 25 years until his death. During this period he took part in club tournaments, Hamburg championships including senior events, team matches in city and district leagues, and rapid and blitz competitions. — — His over-the-board peak Elo rating reached 2245 according to ChessBase records, with his FIDE standard rating later listed as inactive at 1884. He held no FIDE title. He also competed in correspondence chess through the ICCF, where his rating peaked at 2093. — — Schulz favored openings that featured early pawn sacrifices. A characteristic choice was the Sicilian Defense line with 2.b4 as White, which created sharp tactical positions that frequently attracted spectators. — — His style was passionate and enterprising, marked by willingness to sacrifice material for initiative and dynamic play across all time controls and formats. — — Within the Hamburger Schachklub von 1830 he is remembered as a dedicated participant who loved chess in every form and contributed to the club's activities through consistent involvement and enthusiasm. His legacy is that of a long-standing club member whose games and commitment enriched the local chess scene in Hamburg. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Taulien,Hans_Juergen (2225) – Henrich,Guenter (2250), RSL2, 2004. — — Hans-Jόrgen Taulien has established a distinguished presence within the world of competitive correspondence chess, a discipline that demands deep analytical precision and patience. Over the course of several decades, he has become a respected figure in the German-speaking chess community, particularly on specialized platforms like remoteSchach and within the broader International Correspondence Chess Federation. His career is characterized by a high level of technical proficiency, often maintaining a rating that places him in the master-level bracket of correspondence players, frequently cited in the 2350 to 2380 range. — — One of the most defining aspects of his chess identity is his dedication to the Sokolsky Opening, initiated by the unconventional move one b4. This opening, also known as the Polish or Orangutan, is a rare guest at the highest levels of grandmaster play but offers a rich, complex landscape for a correspondence specialist. His expertise in this specific line led to a long-standing association with the global 1.b4 community, including frequent participation in tournaments organized by Marek Trokenheim. Within this niche, he is recognized not just as a competitor but as a theoretical contributor whose games are often archived as examples of how to navigate the intricate pawn structures and flank pressures typical of the opening. — — Beyond his individual play, he has taken on significant leadership roles within the online chess ecosystem. For many years, he served as a team captain for the Taunus squad on the remoteSchach server, managing rosters and guiding his team through various league cycles. This administrative and mentorship role highlights his status as a pillar of the community, helping to sustain the organizational structure of competitive email and server-based chess. — — While his over-the-board presence is less prominent than his digital and correspondence achievements, his career represents the enduring appeal of the analytical side of the game. He remains a prime example of a player who has found a specialized calling, combining a love for offbeat opening theory with the rigors of high-level correspondence competition. — — Note created January 2026.

Dudli,Alfrad – Kruettli,Markus, Switzerland, 1994. — — Alfrad Dudli is a Swiss chess player who was active in the late 1980s and 1990s. Limited public records exist about his personal life, and no birth date or detailed biographical background appears in available chess databases. — — Dudli participated in the second open section of the Swiss Chess Championship in 1994. He also faced grandmaster Ljubomir Ljubojevic in a simultaneous exhibition in Zurich in 1988, where he lost playing Black. His recorded games are few and reflect amateur-level competition with no titled status or international rating listed in major databases. — — No major tournament victories or FIDE titles are documented for Dudli. His results in the available games include a loss as White in the 1994 Swiss event and a loss as Black in the 1988 simul. — — As White, Dudli preferred the Polish Opening, also known as the Sokolsky Opening, beginning with 1.b4. One documented game from the 1994 Swiss Championship proceeded 1.b4 Nf6 2.Bb2 e6 3.a3 b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.c4 Be7. As Black, he employed the Caro-Kann Defense, specifically the Martian Gambit variation in his game against Ljubojevic. — — No contemporary analyses or annotations describe Dudli's overall style of play in detail. — — Dudli holds no documented legacy in chess history beyond occasional database entries as a local Swiss participant who occasionally opened with 1.b4. His contributions remain confined to regional amateur events without broader influence on opening theory or notable games preserved in standard references. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Goelz,Sebastian – Schipke,Maximilian, St. Leon–Rot GER, Open, 2011. — — Sebastian Goelz is a German chess player born in 1980. His FIDE identification number is 24660493 and he represents the German chess federation. He holds no FIDE titles and currently carries no official FIDE rating in standard classical chess rapid or blitz formats. — — Goelz has participated in tournament play including the 1st St Leon-Rot Open held in Sankt Leon-Rot Germany in 2011. In that event he recorded at least one victory as White against Waldemar Hoehler rated 1813 using the move 1.b4 followed by 2.Bb2. He also lost one game in the same tournament to Hans-Heiner Wuest rated 2120. Available records indicate he held a German rating of approximately 1589 at the time of those games. Public databases show a small sample of five recorded games overall with one win three losses and one draw. — — Goelz has employed the Sokolsky Opening also known as the Orangutan or Polish Opening beginning with 1.b4 in documented games. This choice points to a preference for flank openings that steer away from mainstream theoretical lines and aim to create unbalanced unbalanced positions early. Limited game data does not allow a comprehensive assessment of his overall playing style but the consistent use of 1.b4 suggests an approach that favors originality and initiative on the queenside over central pawn confrontations. — — No major international or national titles achievements or notable results appear in public chess records. Goelz maintains a low profile consistent with an amateur or club-level participant rather than a professional competitor. There is no documented legacy of influence on chess theory opening development or younger players associated with his name. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Woelfelschneider,Peter – Giesselbach, 2009. — — Peter Woelfelschneider is a German chess master born in the early 1960s. He earned the title of FIDE Master and has spent the majority of his competitive life within the German chess federation. His presence is most felt in the German team leagues, where he has been a stalwart for clubs such as TSV Schott Mainz. Unlike many masters who pursue a professional circuit of international opens, he is often viewed as a specialist who excels in the specific environment of league play and regional championships. — — His career is characterized by longevity and tactical sharpness. While his peak FIDE rating stabilized in the 2300 range, his practical strength often exceeds his rating when he manages to drag opponents into his preferred types of chaos. Notable aspects of his career include: * Long-term participation in the 2. Bundesliga, representing various teams with a high degree of reliability. * Multiple appearances in the German Individual Championships and various high-level German opens. * A reputation for being a giant killer in team matches, where his unique opening choices often neutralize the theoretical advantages of higher-rated opponents. — — The defining feature of his chess identity is his absolute devotion to the Sokolsky Opening, initiated by the move 1.b4. This opening is frequently referred to as the Orangutan or the Polish Opening. While most elite players view 1.b4 as a surprise weapon at best, Woelfelschneider has treated it as a primary system for decades. His commitment involves: * Extensive theoretical knowledge of the various branches of the Sokolsky, including the Main Line and the Tuebingen Gambit. * A focus on the queenside expansion and the early development of the dark-squared bishop to b2, which pressures the center and the black kingside. * Using the psychological advantage of playing an opening that many masters have not studied in depth, forcing them to think for themselves from the very first move. — — Beyond his white-side obsession with 1.b4, his overall style is provocative and unconventional. He avoids the dry, technical lines of modern theory, preferring positions where the evaluation is less clear and the room for creative maneuvering is high. His repertoire typically includes: * For White: 1.b4 almost exclusively. He has developed numerous original ideas in this line that have been adopted by other niche practitioners. * For Black: He often employs the Chigorin Defense against 1.d4, which emphasizes piece activity over a solid pawn structure. He also favors various Sicilian lines that lead to sharp, non-linear play. * General Style: He is a tactical player who enjoys imbalanced positions. His games often feature unusual piece placements and sudden shifts in the pawn structure designed to confuse his adversary. — — Note created January 2026. (AI)

(=1.Nf3 Nf6 2.b4 e6 3.a3 b6 4.Bb2 Bb7 5.e3 Be7 6.c4 d5) — — Boris Vasilyevich Spassky was born on January 30 1937 in Leningrad now Saint Petersburg Russia and died on February 27 2025 in Moscow Russia. He learned chess as a child after being evacuated during World War II. Spassky became an international master in 1953 at age sixteen. In 1955 he won the world junior championship and earned the international grandmaster title at age eighteen. — — Spassky won the Soviet championship in 1961 and again in 1973. He participated in seven chess olympiads for the Soviet Union between 1962 and 1978 scoring 69 points in 94 games and winning thirteen team and individual medals. He reached the candidates stage multiple times and played three world championship matches. In 1966 he lost to Tigran Petrosian. In 1969 he defeated Petrosian by a score of 12.5 to 10.5 to become the tenth world chess champion. He held the title until 1972 when he lost to Bobby Fischer in Reykjavik in the match known as the Match of the Century by a score of 12.5 to 8.5. Spassky later played a rematch against Fischer in 1992 in Yugoslavia which Fischer won. — — Spassky employed a wide variety of openings with both colors. With white he successfully used 1.e4 and 1.d4 as well as occasional flank openings including the Sokolsky opening that begins with 1.b4. He also played the kings gambit 1.e4 e5 2.f4 on a regular basis at the highest level an aggressive choice uncommon among top players of his era. With black he frequently met 1.e4 with the Sicilian defence and the Ruy Lopez appeared often in his games as well. He was comfortable entering sharp tactical lines or quieter positional setups depending on the opponent. — — Spassky possessed a universal playing style that allowed him to handle all types of positions with equal skill. He excelled in attack and defense in the middlegame and in the endgame. His approach emphasized harmonious piece development followed by dynamic play that often involved material sacrifices to seize the initiative. He focused strongly on middlegame tactics and practical play rather than deep opening preparation alone. This adaptability enabled him to succeed against a broad range of opponents and styles. — — Spassky left a legacy as one of the most versatile and respected world champions in chess history. His games are studied for their creativity elegance and attacking flair. He contributed to chess theory through his successful use of varied openings and dynamic ideas such as the kings gambit. Many players regard him as a model of complete chess understanding who could adapt seamlessly to any situation on the board. His sportsmanship and personality earned admiration beyond his competitive results and his games continue to serve as instructional material for generations of chess enthusiasts. — — Note created March 2026.

Burns,Christopher John – Turner,Michael, ch–NZL, Wanganui NZL, 2003. — — Christopher John Burns was a New Zealand chess player born in 1972. He held FIDE ID 4300920 and represented New Zealand in competitions without any formal FIDE title. His peak standard rating reached approximately 2060 around 2008, with later ratings recorded at 1905 standard, 1880 rapid, and 1922 blitz, all listed as inactive in recent profiles. — — Burns participated in various New Zealand chess events over the years, including national championships, the North Island championship, and rapid tournaments such as the 130th New Zealand Rapid Championship in 2023. He faced both local players and occasional stronger opponents, with documented games against figures like Murray G. Chandler, Puchen Wang, Guy West, and others in events spanning the 2000s and 2010s. Available game databases show a modest number of recorded encounters, reflecting activity primarily at club and national levels rather than international circuits. — — He showed a clear preference for the Sokolsky Opening, also known as the Polish or Orangutan Opening, beginning with 1.b4 as White. Examples include games starting 1.b4 Nf6 followed by lines such as 2.c4 e6 3.a3 d5. His repertoire also incorporated responses like the Scandinavian Defense as Black. This choice of 1.b4 aligned with an unconventional, flank-oriented approach that avoided heavily theoretical mainlines. — — Burns' playing style emphasized independent, non-standard positions from the outset, often steering games into structures less familiar to opponents. Records indicate mixed results typical for a club-level competitor, with wins, draws, and losses against a range of rated players in New Zealand events. — — His legacy consists of consistent participation in the New Zealand chess community over decades, contributing to local tournaments and exemplifying dedication to offbeat openings such as 1.b4. He remained active into the 2020s in rapid and standard formats within his federation. — — Note created March 2026. (AI).

Pandurevic,Miro (2250) – Prlac,Vedran (2120), 15th Zadar Open B, 2008. — — Miro Pandurevic was born in 1958 and represented Croatia in chess competitions. He held the title of FIDE Master. His peak standard rating reached 2343, with a later rating around 2197 to 2215 in standard, 2158 in rapid, and 2245 in blitz. — — In his chess career he participated in numerous open tournaments in Croatia and neighboring countries over several decades, including events such as the Zupanja open and various team or individual competitions in the region. Databases record several hundred games played by him, with overall results showing a win percentage in the low to mid 40s across available records. He achieved wins against higher-rated players on occasion, including a noted victory over a 2514-rated opponent in one game. He remained active into his later years, with tournament appearances continuing into the 2010s and beyond. — — His preferred openings as White prominently featured the Polish Opening, also known as the Sokolsky or Orangutan, beginning with 1.b4. This irregular flank opening appeared frequently in his repertoire, alongside other lines such as the Scotch Game and the Alapin variation of the Sicilian. As Black he employed a range of responses depending on the opponent. — — Pandurevic played in a style consistent with 1.b4 practitioners, favoring unbalanced positions, queenside space gains, and early deviations from mainline theory to create practical chances rather than relying on deep memorized variations. His games often reflected a creative and provocative approach suited to open tournaments. — — He left a legacy as a dedicated FIDE Master and regular competitor in Croatian and regional chess scenes, known particularly for his consistent use of the 1.b4 opening. His games serve as examples in collections focused on the Polish Opening. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Amor Alcaide,Manuel (2115) – Casas Douton,Domenech (2310), La Lira op Barcelona, 1995. — — Manuel Amor Alcaide was born in 1937 in Spain. He holds FIDE identification number 2208105 and represents the Spanish chess federation. His highest recorded standard rating reached 1957, and he has remained inactive in rated play for an extended period with no rapid or blitz ratings listed. He possesses no official FIDE title. — — His chess career included participation in open tournaments in Spain during the 1990s and 2000s, such as events in Berga, St Cugat, Barbera, La Pobla de Lillet, and Sabadell. Available game records show a modest number of documented encounters, including losses against stronger opponents like Constantin Ionescu in 1994 and Maikel Gongora Reyes in 2008. He competed against players rated in the 2300-2400 range and occasionally faced titled competitors in these settings. — — Amor Alcaide frequently employed the Polish Opening, also known as the Sokolsky Opening, beginning with 1.b4 as White. Database records indicate he played variations of this opening multiple times, including lines such as 1.b4 e6 2.Bb2 Nf6 3.a3 and other related setups against various Black responses. This choice led to games classified under ECO code A00. — — His playing style reflected a preference for unorthodox, flank-based positions that steered opponents into less theoretical territory early in the game. Games often featured queenside expansion with the b-pawn and development of the bishop to b2, aiming for asymmetrical structures rather than mainline central confrontations. — — No major international titles, national championships, or high-level team representations appear in public records of his career. His documented activity centered on local and regional Spanish opens, where he faced a mix of amateur and stronger club-level players. — — Amor Alcaide contributed to the chess scene as a dedicated participant who favored the Sokolsky system over decades, adding to the practical examples of this irregular opening in tournament play. His games provide reference material for enthusiasts of 1.b4, illustrating both its surprise value and the challenges of facing prepared opponents in such lines. He remains a figure associated with persistent amateur engagement in Spanish chess into later years. — — Note created March 2026. (AI)

Skalozubov,Alexander (2260) – Kulish,Oksana (2130), Serpukhov–B, 2002. — — Alexander Skalozubov is a chess player from Belarus born in 1984. He holds no FIDE title and has represented Belarus in junior team events, including the European Youth Team Championship in the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside players such as Andrei Zhigalko. His peak standard rating reached around 2289 in junior competitions, with a later recorded standard rating of 2179 and rapid rating of 2199, both listed as inactive in recent FIDE records. — — In his chess career he participated in Belarusian junior championships and youth team competitions. One documented result includes a score of 4 out of 11 in the Belarus Junior U20 Championship in October 2002. His recorded games on databases span from 1999 onward and show activity primarily at junior and lower-level events rather than major international open tournaments or adult national championships. — — His preferred openings as White feature the Polish Opening or Sokolsky Opening 1.b4 as one of the most frequent choices, alongside lines such as the Bogo-Indian Defense and Queen's Indian setups. As Black his repertoire includes responses consistent with those common in youth-level play of that era, though detailed statistics indicate a focus on irregular and flank systems when handling the white pieces. — — His playing style, inferred from opening choices and limited available games, leans toward unconventional positions that avoid main-line theory early on, often steering games into structures emphasizing queenside space or less explored paths. No extensive records describe a highly tactical or positional preference beyond the implications of his opening selections. — — Skalozubov's legacy in chess remains modest and localized to Belarusian junior chess of the turn of the millennium. He contributed to national youth teams but did not achieve senior titles, grandmaster norms, or notable international breakthroughs, and his competitive activity appears to have tapered off in adulthood with ratings listed as inactive. — — Note created March 2026.

(=1.b4 Nf6 2.Bb2 e6 3.a3 b6 4.e3 Bb7 5.Nf3 Be7) — — Andrι Jordi Volkmann is a Brazilian chess player born in 2000. He resides in Jaraguα do Sul and holds the national master title on chess.com. His FIDE standard rating stands at 2136, with a rapid rating of 2040 and a blitz rating of 2005. His peak standard rating reached 2158. — — Volkmann has competed in various Brazilian tournaments, including the Brazilian Championship, the Catarinense Championship, the Floripa Chess Festival and Open events, and the FIDE World Amateur Chess Championship in the U2300 section. He has also participated in international amateur events. Database records show him with hundreds of rated games, including a win percentage around 52 percent overall and higher success rates when playing white. He has secured victories against strong opponents, such as grandmaster Alexandr Fier in one recorded encounter, and has drawn or lost to other titled players depending on the event. — — In terms of openings, his repertoire as white prominently features uncommon lines, with a notable preference for 1.b4, the Sokolsky Opening (also known as the Polish or Orangutan Opening). Chessbase statistics highlight strong results in A00 codes, including the Sokolsky and Bird's Opening variants, where he has achieved high scoring percentages in played games. As black, he has faced a range of responses and employed defenses such as those in the Queen's Gambit Declined complex or other closed systems. — — His playing style leans toward unorthodox and flank-based setups with white, aiming to steer games into unfamiliar territory early on while maintaining solidity. This approach often leads to complex middlegames where preparation in irregular positions provides an edge. He demonstrates solid calculation and endgame technique in available games, with competitive results against both peers and stronger opposition in open tournaments. — — Volkmann remains an active competitor in regional and national Brazilian chess circuits as well as select international amateur events. His career reflects consistent participation and gradual rating improvement from junior levels into adulthood, contributing to the depth of chess activity in Santa Catarina and Brazil. No major international titles or world championship qualifications are recorded for him, but he continues to compete at a level competitive for untitled or nationally titled players around the 2100-2200 Elo range. — — Note created March 2026.

Buss,Michael D – Eldridge,Michael, corr CCLA, 1990. — — Michael Buss is a prominent American correspondence chess player who became a leading figure in the United States chess community after a long career in the military. — — While his exact birth date is not publicly listed in chess records, he was part of the Fischer boom in the early 1970s and attended high school events in 1973. He studied at Iowa State University from 1974 to 1978. His chess activity was largely paused during his active service as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy, which lasted from 1978 to 1993. — — His interest in the game was reinvigorated in 1984 after reading the novel The Queen's Gambit. Due to the demands of his naval service and family life, he turned to correspondence chess. In December 2021, he was appointed as the Correspondence Chess Coordinator for US Chess. — — He has achieved the rank of being one of the top correspondence players in the United States. His major victories include multiple championships in prestigious national tournaments: * Golden Knights Championship: Winner or co-champion in 2006, 2010, 2012, and 2014. * Electronic Knights Championship: Winner in 2019 and 2020. * Correspondence Chess Master: Recognised as a preeminent master in the field with a high rating in both US Chess and ICCF (International Correspondence Chess Federation) systems. — — In his earlier years and for variety, he used offbeat systems, but he shifted his repertoire to include more mainline theory to compete at higher levels. His preferred and most frequent openings include: * White: Ponziani Opening, Evans Gambit, Scotch Game, and Reti Opening. * Black: Sicilian Defense (including the Najdorf and Kan variations), Benko Gambit, Nimzovich Defense, and the King's Indian Defense. * Other variations: He has also experimented with the Orangutan (Sokolsky) and the Modern Defense. — — Note created January 2026.

(=1.Nf3 A05: Reti Opening: 1 Nf3 Nf6 1...Nf6 2.e3 b6 3.b4 Bb7 4.Bb2 e6 5.a3 Be7 6.c4) — — Jorge Samuel Bobadilla Viera is an International Master born in 1997. He holds FIDE ID 3906353 and is registered with the Colombian federation, though some sources list a Venezuelan connection. His peak FIDE Elo rating reached 2397, with a current standard rating around 2287 to 2322 depending on the update period. — — He began playing chess at the age of 14 and earned the International Master title by age 17. He works as a chess trainer. In July 2016, as a Venezuelan player rated 2168, he tied for first place with 11 points in the I Torneo de Ajedrez Blitz in homage to AI FIDE Josι Gauna in Valencia, Edo. Carabobo, finishing second on tiebreaks behind IM Wilson Palencia. He has participated in the Colombian Final Nacional de Mayores and the Subzonal 2.3.2 tournament in Medellνn. He has also competed in events such as the Continental Americas Championship 2024 and various open tournaments including the Sunway Sitges festival. Among his notable results is a victory over GM Igor Kovalenko rated 2644. — — His opening repertoire as White features 1.d4 systems, including the Catalan Opening (E04), Nimzo-Indian Defense (E20), Queen's Pawn Game lines, and the Trompowsky Attack. As Black he frequently faces 1.e4 with the Sicilian Defense, notably the Canal Attack (Rossolimo variation), and has employed the Queen's Gambit Declined Ragozin Defense. No records indicate regular use of 1.b4 (Sokolsky/Orangutan Opening). — — No public sources describe a specific playing style beyond his tournament performances and opening choices. He maintains an active presence in Colombian and regional chess events while continuing training activities. His record as an International Master who achieved the title young and competes at national and zonal levels forms the basis of his standing within Latin American chess circles. — — Note created March 2026.

He holds the FIDE Master title and represents the Iranian federation with FIDE identification number 12595837. His current standard rating stands at 2312 rapid rating at 2225 and blitz rating at 2135. — — His chess career includes participation in international events such as the Qatar Masters Open in 2024 where he scored 3 points and the Aeroflot Open in 2025. A notable achievement came when he defeated Grandmaster Parham Maghsoodloo who was rated 2697 at the time while Tamadon was rated 2330. He maintains an active online presence on platforms including Chess.com under the handle Aryan_Tamadon where he has competed since 2020 and earned a Diamond membership along with various awards. — — He prefers the Polish Opening beginning with 1.b4 as White which falls under the uncommon openings category coded A00 in ECO. Database statistics show strong performance with this and related uncommon lines including a 66.67 percent score across multiple games played at an average opponent Elo of 2269. Additional White openings he has employed include the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack coded A01 and the Reti Opening coded A05. As Black his repertoire features the Nimzowitsch Defense the Caro-Kann Defense Two Knights Attack the Modern Defense against 1.e4 and various Indian defenses. — — His style is characterized by a willingness to enter unconventional positions early often bypassing mainline theory in favor of creative and less explored setups such as the 1.b4 systems that lead to original middlegame structures. — — As a 20-year-old player his legacy consists primarily of his status as an emerging talent within Iranian chess marked by the upset victory over a top domestic grandmaster and consistent international tournament appearances while continuing to develop toward higher titles. — — Note created March 2026.

Chua,Al (2305) - Fabris,A (2230), Titled Tue (10), 2024. (=1.Nf3 Nf6 2.b4 e6 3.a3 b6 4.Bb2) — — Alexander Chua, also known as Alex Chua or Al Chua, is a FIDE Master born in 1988 in the United States. He holds the FIDE Master title with a peak standard rating of 2332. He began playing tournament chess at age nine and has competed actively for decades, primarily in events across Texas and other parts of the United States before relocating to the Pacific Northwest. — — His major chess achievements include winning the US Junior Open Championship in 2002. He secured the Texas High School Chess Championship three times in 2003, 2004, and 2006. He placed second in the Denker Tournament of Champions. He earned the title of Texas Collegiate Champion and finished as runner-up in the National Collegiate Championship. He also won the Houston Chess Festival. In state-level events he took second place in the 2010 Texas State Championship and tied for first in the 2009 Austin City Blitz Championship. He has played against grandmasters over the board and maintained a master-level rating into adulthood. — — Chua has served as a chess coach, focusing on players rated roughly 1200 to 1800 who seek rapid improvement. He emphasizes daily tactical study combined with positional understanding, practical play, tournament psychology, and game strategy. His approach aims to build on existing strengths while addressing weaknesses for greater consistency. He holds professional qualifications as a CPA with an MBA and has interests outside chess including puzzles, strategy, guitar, travel, reading, television, and family. — — Information on his preferred openings remains limited in public sources. His most played openings in available databases include systems such as the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack in some lines as well as responses involving the Queen's Gambit Declined Catalan and Sicilian or Caro-Kann structures. No specific confirmation exists of a primary reliance on 1.b4 as his main weapon, though he has employed a range of setups consistent with a practical, flexible repertoire. — — His playing style combines tactical sharpness with positional soundness. He describes himself as a practical player who integrates calculation, strategy, and psychological elements during competition. — — Chua's legacy centers on his achievements as a junior and scholastic standout in Texas chess during the early 2000s, followed by sustained master-level play and contributions to coaching. He represents an example of long-term dedication to the game alongside professional pursuits, influencing students through structured, improvement-focused training methods. — — Note created March 2026.
