Miroslav Schwarz ( Russian Мирослав Шварц / Miroslaw Schwarz; born February 21, 1975 in Kiev ) is a German chess player and coach.
Life
When he was five years old, Schwarz learned to play chess from his parents. He was trained at the Botvinnik School and the Grand Master School under the direction of Igor Platonov. He had some successes in the youth field, such as the second place behind Alexei Sawko at the international festival in Alushta in 1990. In the 1990s he trained to be a qualified sports teacher at the Kiev Sports University. FIDE awarded him the title of International Master in 1998, and he met the standards for it earlier in the same year at a tournament in the Ukrainian settlement of Katscha and at the Spring Festival in Cherepovets . He finished the 1999 Independence Cup in Kiev without defeat in second place, tied with the winner Sergei Kuzin and Boris Taborow. In October 1999 he took part in the Platonov Memorial in Kiev. With 8.5 points out of 11 (+6 = 5 −0) he came in tied for first place and with this result achieved his first GM norm.
Around 2000, Schwarz moved to Germany. From the end of 2003 he played for the German Chess Federation . He won the second GM norm in the summer of 2003 at the Kali Cup in Mindszentkálla, where he remained unbeaten with five wins and four draws. At a similar tournament in February 2004, he passed the final norm, but it turned out to be "a case of fraud ". After an investigation, the FIDE ethics committee imposed a two-and-a-half year ban on Schwarz from March 2006. Schwarz played team chess in Germany for BSV Leipzig, Dresdner SC and SC Neukloster, and in the Czech Republic for ŠK Sokol Vyšehrad. His highest rating was 2492 between October 2003 and April 2006.
He is active as a chess trainer and worked with Elisabeth Pähtz , Evgenija Shmirina , Judith Fuchs , Falko Bindrich and other players. From the end of March to October 2004 he was President of the Chess Association of Saxony.
