RIP Mark Dvoretsky, 1947-2016
(Info from IChess.net)
Sadly, Mark Dvoretsky, one of the most highly respected chess coaches and authors in the world, passed away on Monday, aged 65.
A hugely talented player, Mark chose to leave the field of competition relatively early, preferring to pursue his passion for coaching.
He quickly gained a reputation for getting results, transforming waves of 2200 players into Grandmasters. Players all over the world sought out his expertise and he coached many of the very best including Kasparov, Anand and Topalov.
His friend and student, Artur Yusupov, rose to world #3 thanks to Dvoretsky’s methods, which were based on deep and accurate analysis of positions. Openings, tactical situations, strategic ideas and the endgame were all to be analyzed until the truth was revealed.
Mark’s legacy and training methods will live on in the chess world for many decades to come.
