Talk:Alexander Zaitsev (chess player)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The zaitsev variation is not named after Alexander Zaitsev. He does not play this variation. Zaitsev variation is based on C92 of the Ruy Lopez closed opening. Alexander very rarely plays Ruy Lopez. Igor Zaitsev pioneered the move 9... bb7 and uses it very frequently with the Ruy Lopez closed which is one of his favorite openings. Ahimsa52

According to sources like this, Mr. Zaitsev died on October 31 so I'll change this. If you change it back, please give your source. --Constructor 02:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
