I thought you would see it come out but...we are all mortals...and now I can only express my belated gratitude for sharing your memories with us. I first met Valentin Kirillov shortly after I began playing chess. His job was titled “state coach”, making him responsible for selecting players for the Latvian national teams, and he was acutely aware of all chess activities in the country. He quickly noticed me, partly because he knew my father from junior competitions. In January 1984, at the tender age of eleven years old, I joined Alexander Shabalov and Vidvuds Ozolins in the Soviet Under 18 Championship held in distant Kirovabad (now Ganja) in Azerbaijan. Kirillov was the head of the Latvian delegation, and I had no personal coach at the time. My openings were awful, my opponents were much older and far more experienced, and so no wonder I started out with 0.5 out of 5.

  • 10. International Master Anthony Saidy Shares Memories of the Steiner Chess Club Recorded: September 12, 2013
    10. International Master Anthony Saidy Shares Memories of the Steiner Chess Club Recorded: September 12, 2013 International Master Anthony Saidy played in numerous U.S. Championships and authored the book The Battle of Chess Ideas. He shared his memories of legendary player Bobby Fischer in the 2011 documentary Bobby Fischer Against the World. Here, he reflects upon the legacy of the Piatigorsky Cups and the Steiner Chess Club. John Donaldson: When did you first join the Steiner Chess Club and what is your initial memory of Mrs. Piatigorsky? International Master Anthony Saidy: I came to Los Angeles in the middle of 1962 in order to become a medical intern, and contrary to the conventional wisdom, I didn’t stick to medicine. I had to play some chess, and there was the Steiner Chess Club Championship that year, and for sure, I had to take part in it. My patients had to wait until the game was over, until I got back to the hospital in West L.A. I don’t think I formally joined the club but I played in the Club Championship. JD: And, if I’m not mistaken, you also won the Club Championship? AS: Yes, I did. Undefeated. JD: So, is that the first time you had seen Mrs. Piatigorsky, or you had seen her earlier when you were living in New York, and she had been out there to play in one of the Women’s Championships or some other event? AS: I may have met her at a U.S. Open, but I don’t remember.
