Mikhail Gerzowitsch Klyazkin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michail Gerzowitsch Kljazkin ( Russian Михаил Герцович Кляцкин ; born February 15, 1897 in Warsaw , † April 14, 1926 in Moscow ) was a Moscow chess player who came from Poland.

Klyatskin reached the shared first place in the amateur group in the first All-Russian Chess Olympiad in Moscow in 1920. He was fifth in the spring tournament of the ten best Moscow players in 1922. At the Moscow City Championships he took fourth place in 1920 and 1921, in 1922 sixth to seventh place, and in 1924 seventh to eighth place. He died during the Moscow championship in 1926 of complications from tuberculosis , which meant that he was not placed.

Klyazkin's name was associated with the chess opening 1. e4 Nf6, which has since become known as the Alekhine Defense . In Russia it is often referred to as the Moscow Defense because of Klyazkin's place of work. The defense had been played since the early 19th century, but was popularized independently by Klyatskin and Alekhine .

Klyatskin was also known as the author of some chess studies , most of which appeared in Shachmaty .
