Winner of many tournaments and member of half final pretender matches died in Buenos Aires at the age of 75
Smolensk 2010. Murder or accident... Cui bono ?

RIP. He is always one of my heroes. I enjoy the book by Garry Kasparov written about him.

I liked his style very much, to the point of playing entire tournaments - some time at the end of the secondary school - using nothing else than 1.b3. And I still use it as a surprise weapon sometimes. Thank You, Bent!
