message: I thought we should mention the part about how Taimanov was "officially" snagged for smuggling in a book by Solzhenitsyn (I can provide a source from his autobiography if anybody requests it), but I'm having a hard time wording it well; can someone help?

thread_title:  Taimanov's punishment for losing to Fischer 

message: I just deleted something that said something about "algebraic notation" for chess, but I saw non. Then I looked at the history and saw that on  13:31, 17 May 2008 by Xeron220, the algebraic notation was taken away, and on 03:02, 24 January 2008 by Bubba73 the Note on algebraic notation was added. should I just leave it be or put back both please write back on my talk pag

replies: text: Currently no algebraic notation is used in the article, so the tag isn't needed (and shouldn't be there.) Bubba73 (talk), 18:59, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

text: A game using algebraic notation and some other material was removed on May 17, 2008.  That might need to be restored.  Bubba73 (talk), 19:03, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I found a mention that he and his wife separated under the pressure of the official sanctions resulting from the Fischer fiasco.  Did they ultimately divorce?  I found a site giving her year of death as 1996.  When did he "remarry late in life"?  What is the name of his second wife?  I have no references at hand on such matters.Jszigeti (talk) 02:12, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Finish the story about his first wife, Lyubov Bruk, and after. 

message: In How Fischer Plays Chess by David Levy (R-H-M Press 1975  page 123 in the notes to the second match game writes "It is really impossible to have much sympathy with Taimamov for the manner in which he lost this game (or for his 0-6 score in the match), since his qualification from the Interzonal was assured by a 4300 bribe to his last round opponent, the Yugoslav Grandmaster Milan Matulovic."Jszigeti (talk) 02:11, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

message: During Norwegian broadcaster NRK's live airings from the World Championship final at Dubai, the watchers were given two problems to solve early in each game between Magnus Carlsen and Jan Nepomnjasjtsjij. One easier and one hard (called "Today's Russian" regardless of nationality). These were presented by Atle Grønn. One of the difficult ones was a 1977 Leningrad match between World Champion of the time, Karpov and Taimanov. Atle Grønn said that Taimanov was (by Soviet standard) "a musician who also was a very good hobby player". Here's the problem :
At first look Karpov might have been pleased, with the one pawn extra and just two steps from the b1 promotion square. Even if Black's Queen has a mighty position.
The "bomb" is Ng3+ !!. The best White can do is Qxg3 with a lost of his rook and both pawns (at least the dangerous one at b6 - and it's over.) But why not h2xg3 ?
Then Taimanov's can play the wonderful Ra8 - and thereafter nothing can stop Rh8#. A hobby player with Black vs the World Champion....
