  • Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000)
    Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000) First Canadian Grandmaster ever. Born in 1925 in Brody, then Poland, he arrived the same year in Canada, as an eight months young baby. A child prodigy. Brilliant technical play, especially in the endgame. Prominent Winnipeg lawyer and city councillor, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Mayor of West Kildonan, Manitoba. Awarded the IM title in 1950 (the inaugural year), the GM title in 1964 and the International Arbiter title in 1977. The first chess player in the British Commonwealth to be awarded the Grandmaster title (Apart from German-born chess player Jacques Mieses who moved to England in the 1930s to escape Nazi persecution as a Jew. Mieses became a British citizen late in life, then received the title when FIDE first awarded the grandmaster title in 1950, Mieses was one of the 27 original recipients, and the oldest of them) Yanofsky was British Champion in 1953 and Canadian Champion on eight occasions: 1941 in 1943, 1945, 1947, 1953, 1959, 1963, 1965; his eight titles is a Canadian record (tied in closed tournaments with Maurice Fox). “Little Abie” or “Abe”, as the local newspapers called him soon, was a Child Prodigy. At age of 12, Yanofsky won the championship of Manitoba. He repeated every year through 1942, when nobody else even bothered to show up. Thereafter, Yanofsky was banned from further participation in the Manitoba provincial championship to encourage others to play in it :) At 14, was picked to play at board 2 for the Canadian Team in the Olympiad in Buenos Aires 1939.

Editor of the FIDE magazine from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s. Born in the small Czech town of Bela pod Bezdezem, Luděk Pachman went on to become one of the leading players of his generation. He honed his chess skills in Prague during World War II under the expert tutelage of World Champion Alexander Alekhine. Pachman's first serious event at the age of 19 was the 1943 Prague tournament, won by Alekhine. Seven times Czechoslovakian Champion in 1946, 1953, 1957, 1959, 1961, 1963 and 1966.

Thanks to all who contributed to this issue. To subscribe, send me an e-mail ([email protected]); if you no longer wish to receive this Bulletin, just let me know. Stephen Wright HERE AND THERE World Cadet Chess Chamionships (August 21 – September 1) This year the World Cadet, the U8, U10, U12 age groups of the old WYCC, was held in Weifang, China, a popular destination considering the ethnic origin of many of our players. Of the almost six hundred players competing twenty-two were Canadian, including Veronica Guo, Winston Huang, Eric Jiang, Kate Jiang, William Jiang, Erwin Mok, Gillian Mok, Dorsa Shaeri, Ethan Song, and Dennis Wang from BC. Any world competition is tough and lower age group events especially so, given that many participants do not have FIDE ratings or are woefully underrated. This year no Canadian was able to place in the top ten in any section, nor the top twenty for that matter. The best Canadian scores were achieved by Daniel Xu (U12, 7.0/9), Johnathan Han (U10), who was our best contender for a top-ten finish but lost his last two games to end with 6.5 points, and Kate Jiang (U12 girls), also 6.5 points. The other two BC players with a plus score were William Jiang (U8, 6.0) and Veronica Guo (U12 girls, 6.0). Tournament website standings photos Vienna Open (August 17-24) After the Riga Technical University Open (see last issue) four of the BC participants, James Chan, Curtis Lister, Ethan Low, and Kevin Low, headed to a quite different European capital – Vienna.
