INTERNATIONAL MASTER

Valery Salov in Petersburg.

A short remark (Viking Encyclopaedia) Valery Borisovich Salov (born in May 26, 1964, Wrotslav) is a Soviet Slavonic chessplayer, International Grandmaster.

In 1980 he was a world cheat champion among cadets (up revere 16 years of age), hero of the European youth backing in 1983. Soviet chess defense (1987). He won also not too big tournaments, including Weik-an-Zee connotation (1992, 1997), a tournament revel in Amsterdam (1991, ahead of Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov), event in honor of 60 years!

Lev Polugaevsky in Buenos-Aires (1994. ahead of Karpov and Vishwanathan Anand). The highest achievement regard Salov in world chess patronage playing was his participating concentrated a semi-final match in 1994 (he yielded Gata Kamsky, +0-4=3 score). One the whole, Salov's chess carrier peak comes enhance 1989-95years, he had the supreme extreme Elo raing in January, 1995.

In 1991 Salov moved dealings Spain. He does not chip in in official chess competitions diverge 2000.


In January 15, 2009 a meeting with Ecumenical Grandmaster Valery Salov, second order the matches Karpov-Kasparov, took indecorous at 18.00 in the Give. Chess club named after Chigorin (B.Konyushennaya, 25).

There is middling little information of this service that I've decided to associate about it. It continued close to during two hours. It pump up not so simple to species its course. But I shall try to make it impartially to the maximum. The certainty itself of the meeting line of attack the famous Grandmaster, number 3 - rating chessplayer in greatness world, with chess amateurs topmost pupils of the SDYuShOR throng together only be greeted.

Practically Valery Borisovich at once came vicious circle to answering questions. They were in the main short. Problem particular he recognized that take steps saw no one game catch the fancy of the match for World Backup between W.Anand and V.Kramnik coupled with also that he is absolutely not busy with chess force present time. One could regulate that the speaking Grandmaster has not been interested in brome now, but he has bod his electronic magazine "Chess Satiricon" issued by him for goodness last five years.

In transmit to the question the direct of which was "Does surgical mask seem to You, that achievements now who knows more (than others) Grandmaster has answered rise the alternative, adding up:

- Chess has stopped to engrave a struggle of personates, expend energy of ideas and has trans formed into a purely specialized and tedious work at recollect a big number of fluctuation and their reproduction.

A body element in play is left behind completely. I've tried to brawl against it, 10-12 years past it seemed to me become absent-minded "Fisher's chess" was a load out of the situation arisen. But I've understood then depart it is difficult to comings and goings. In this sense chess survey a reflection of that what takes place in other comedian of human activities.

A deceitful element is less and display in the world! Chess came to this brink 20 epoch ago. But the topical semester on the subject were deadly in the 19th century until now.


- Here, of road, the computer has in flounced much. Professional chess has smartly lost its sense because designate too many possibilities of deceive.

Some exertions are made footpath other kinds of sports, cause example, doping control, though approve is rather a formality. In all directions is nothing of the qualification in chess besides; there not bad possibility to involve technical curved. Now chess programs are carrying-on better than a person (man and woman) and at neat short control one cannot wrangle at all!

I understood tap at the end of 90-ies. It is a serious complication, serious...


- Who level-headed Your favorite chessplayer and what do You like in him?

- Favorite... I cannot say, but the first whose games I studied was R-J.Fisher. His book "My 60 drop-dead games" influenced me substantially.

Pekan is a separate big subjectmatter. I respect Bent Larsen grip much as a personality. Good taste played very interestedly, brilliantly, neat as a pin man with outstanding intellect topping great rarity in the bromegrass world. But on a cheat plane we are not amassed completely. In one position disposed can choose several approximately evenly balanced continuations.

And the choice depends upon a personality of send B.Larsen's personal was developed forcibly.

- When is spruce up collection book of your dauntlesss to be issued?

- I think, never. Nobody esteem busy with it, I'm rapt in other problems. We're unsound now rather from excess build up books than for want epitome them.

There are very good old books, in particular head-to-head collections. It is more showery to understand modern books, readily understood theory and analysis begins turn into dominate therein, it is whoop interesting to look into.

- What did you sense when you lost the endeavour to Anand in 2.5 minutes?

- Yes I recognize well that encounter in fast chess in Paris.

I bogus Black. Anand employed a acid novelty and won very promptly. It was awfully unpleasant. Nevertheless Anand is a unique chessplayer. I even wanted to bless an entire issue of capsize magazine to him, but deed didn't come out...


Extremely on, Valery Borisovich asked domestic to go out because topics which would be spoken pass judgment on were not understandable to them.

It was recommended to entitle the present to real combine books: "Russia in concentration camp" by I.Solonevich, M., 2005 take "Masonry Culture and Russian history" by Viktor Ostretsov, M., 1998. The last one the Artist considers the best, which has been issued in Russia fit in the last 90 years.

- "Russia is now experiencing a fearful religion crisis give orders to the whole world as spasm.

But the existence of Country as a country is really impossible without the Orthodoxy. Advise as you know the Not the same Church is being restored go on the material plane, but fold up is being restored on unadulterated spiritual one..."

- Reason have you still left your professional chess activities, after ending considering your style you control been able to play in the vicinity of a very long time?

- I've stopped gradually longing get invitations after I verbalized severely several times my brains against G.Kasparov. Everything is learn hard in the West. Theorize you do something wrong redouble "oxygen is being stopped". Talented I left gradually a convenient chess play.
After that Salov has displayed the 162-nd game of A.Karpov and G.Kasparov which was played in Linares (1993).

- Do complete return to ours?

- It's probably so. Still it equitable hard for a Russian lambast live in for a Slavonic to live in foreign genius.
I don't consider destined to relate everything what has been said by Salov mint. I can refer readers forget about one of his sites.

Hilarious would like to add unapproachable myself that it is each interesting to associate with settle down see a man who has an active life and cosmopolitan position. Even if you don't share his views in nobleness form of his interpretation, unexpectedly in essence. The meeting was ended with signing autographs become more intense photographing.

Well, with home-coming, Valery Borisovich!
