▪️ Alexander Kotov
▪️ Soviet Chess Grandmaster and Author
♦️ Alexander Alexandrovich Kotov was a Soviet chess grandmaster and author. He was a Soviet chess champion, a two-time world title Candidate, and a prolific writer on the subject of chess.
🔸 Full name: Alexander Alexandrovich Kotov
🔸 Country: Soviet Union
🔸 Born: 12 August 1913 Tula, Russian Empire
🔸 Died: 8 January 1981 (aged 67) Moscow, Soviet Union
🔸 Title: Grandmaster
🔸 Peak rating: 2510 (July 1971)
♦️ Alexander Kotov was born in Tula. He won the Moscow Championship in 1941 [rusbase-1] and was jointly with David Bronstein USSR Champion in 1948 [rusbase-2]. He achieved the GM title in 1950, having qualified for the Budapest Candidates (1950), in which he finished sixth. Kotov again qualified, in grand style with a victory in the Stockholm Interzonal (1952), where his 16.5/20 score was 3 points clear of second place. His Zurich Candidates (1953) appearance was not as successful: he only managed to finish eighth. Kotov won at Venice 1950, ahead of Vasily Smyslov.
♦️ Today, Kotov is probably best remembered as an author; his book Think Like A Grandmaster is one of the best-selling chess books of all time. He passed away in Moscow in 1981.
