RIP Grandmaster Gennady (Gennadi) Kuzmin 1946-2020

Kuzmin has won many tournaments, but this crosstable of the Soviet championship, which he didn't win, possibly shows best what kind of player he was in his prime, the 1970s.

Below is one of Kuzmin's most spectacular games. He won that whole strong open tournament in Turkey but, scandalously, wasn't paid his high 1st prize...
