Assessment and personality
In his book For Friends & Colleagues Volume II: Reflections on My Profession, Mark Dvoretsky described "There is an excellent trainer Vladimir Grabinsky in Lvov, who has brought up a number of leading Ukrainian young players. Some of them are grandmasters now, the most well-known being Andrey Volokitin. Grabinsky’s approach to chess is not dissimilar to my own. We had a nice talk discussing various training problems. In most cases, our opinions were the same, though we had our differences too. I felt from the very start that I was talking to a professional of the highest level."
