🔴 Today is birthday of Rustam Kasimdzhanov!!
♦️ Uzbek chess grandmaster

👏👏👏👏👏 Happy birhday 🌺🌸☘️💐🌷💐💐

♦️ Today is also birthday of Harry Nelson Pillsbury , an American Master, one of the best world player of the beginning of the 20th century but his poor health and other sicknesses prevented him from reaching the level of Lasker, Steinitz or Chigorin.
♦️ Today is also birthday of Krystyna Dąbrowska , a Polish Woman Grandmaster who won the World Girls U16 and U20 World Championships.

▪️ Also today is died-day of David Bronstein , a Soviet-Ukrainian Grandmaster and writer. He came close to win the World Chess Championship when he drew the 1951 challenge match for the title of World Champion by a score of 12–12 with Mikhail Botvinnik, the reigning champion.

Back in the days when women were discouraged to play chess. The ones who defied the odds were looked down on. Some were banned from playing...

“I had a toothache during the first game. In the second game I had a headache. In the third game it was an attack of rheumatism. In the fourth game, I wasn’t feeling well. And in the fifth game? Well, must one have to win every game?”
