	He was only 71; surprising to me as I had him pegged as from a slightly older generation. He was actually from the same generation as many of the players featured in Best Games of the Young Grandmasters - Timman, Browne, Ljubojevic, Ribli, Andersson et al.

	Thanks for sharing, a good read. Some controversial statements and actions! For example, this quote from your link: Quote: "Chess is an exact mathematical problem. The solution comes from two sides: the opening and the endgame. The middlegame does not exist. The middlegame is a well-studied opening. An opening should result in an endgame.... Give me five years, good assistants and modern computers, and I will trace all variations from the opening towards tablebases and 'close' chess. I feel that power." Wish I could've met him.

	Very sad news and my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and admirers: https://www.chess.com/news/view/evgeny-sveshnikov-1950-2021 I understand his passing was covid related. For all you remaining holdouts, get vaccinated if you can, the life you save could be your own.
