Biographyand career
His father was GermanJewish,[1] and hisancestors came from Germany and were named Auerbach, meaning 'meadow brook.' His motherwas Russian. Both sets of grandparents disapproved of theirmarriage because his father was a likely atheist and his mother wasEastern Orthodox, as well as the fact thathis maternal grandmother died very young so his mother was expectedto look after the family. Yuri himself calls himself a fatalist.
His first major success was first place in the Moscow Championship of1949, ahead of players such as Andor Lilienthal, Yakov Estrin and VladimirSimagin. He became an InternationalGrandmaster in 1952. In 1954 he won the USSR Chess Championship aheadof players including Mark Taimanov, Viktor Korchnoi, TigranPetrosian, EfimGeller and SaloFlohr. In the 1956 Championship he came equal first withTaimanov and BorisSpassky in the main event, finishing second after the playoff.Later Averbakh's daughter, Jane, would marry Taimanov. Averbakh'sother major tournament victories included Vienna 1961 and Moscow1962. He qualified for the 1953 Candidates' Tournament (the laststage to determine the challenger to the World Chess Champion), finishing jointtenth of the fifteen participants. He also qualified for the 1958Interzonal at Portorož, by finishing in fourth place at the1958 USSR Championship at Riga. At Portorož, he wound up in a tiefor seventh through eleventh places, half a point short ofadvancing to the Candidates' Tournament.
His solid style was difficult for many pure attackers toovercome, as he wrote: :'..Nezhmetdinov, who if he had theattack, could kill anybody, including Tal. But my score against him was somethinglike 8½–½ because I did not give him any possibility for an activegame. In such cases he would immediately start to spoil hisposition because he was looking for complications.'
Averbakh was also a major endgame study composer. He published morethan 100 studies, many of which have given notable contributions toendgame theory. In 1956 he was given by FIDE the title of InternationalJudge of Chess Compositions and in 1969 he became an International Arbiter. Averbakhwas also an important chess journalist and author. He edited theSoviet chess periodicals Shakhmaty v SSSR and ShakhmatnyBulletin. From 1956 to 1962 he edited (with VitalyChekhover and others) a four-volume anthology on the endgame,Shakhmatnye okonchaniya (revised in 1980-84 and translatedas Comprehensive Chess Endings, five volumes).
Averbakh is the eponym ofseveral openingvariations, perhaps most notably the Averbakh System in the King's Indian Defence:1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Be2 O-O6.Bg5.
Other
In the 1960s, Averbakh worked for the Soviet journal 'Znanie -sila' (Knowledge is Power), which published science and sciencefiction stories, and once even played a simultaneous game againstrepresentatives from the notorious state censorship organ'Glavlit'. A colleague claims to have begged him before the match'Yuri, have a heart and lose!' (see Martin Dewhirst and RobertFarrell (eds.) The Soviet Censorship</i, Metuchen, NJ: TheScarecrow Press, 1973, p.55).
