🔘 About Borovsky

🔹 Evgeny Znosko Borovsky
🔹 Soviet chess Master
🔹 Teacher and Chess Author

🔰 Evgeny Alexandrovich Znosko-Borovsky was a Russian chess master, music and drama critic, teacher and author. Born in Saint Petersburg, he settled in Paris in 1920, and lived there for the rest of his life.

▪️ Born: August 16, 1884, Pavlovsk, Saint Petersburg, Russia
▪️ Died: December 31, 1954, Paris, France

🔰 Znosko-Borovsky fought and was wounded in both the 1905 Russo-Japanese war and World War I. He also fought for the White forces during the Russian revolution and was evacuated to France.

As a player, Znosko-Borovsky fell short of the very highest level. He did have some notable results in international competition, including Paris 1930, where he finished first without loss, ahead of Savielly Tartakower, Andor Lilienthal and Jacques Mieses, and first prize in the premier tournament at Folkestone 1933. Success often came in individual encounters with his more distinguished peers; he won impressive games against José Raúl Capablanca, Akiba Rubinstein, Max Euwe and Efim Bogoljubov as well as a short match with Edgard Colle in 1922. He was also highly skilled at simultaneous exhibition play.

Borovsky was 3rd= in the All Russian Championship of 1908, 3rd at Nice 1930 and 1st at Paris 1930.
