Igor Kurnosov, 1985-2013

The very strong young Russian grandmaster Igor Kurnosov died this morning in Chelyabinsk, as he and another pedestrian were struck by a young driver. Kurnosov was quite a talented player, consistently rated in the mid-2600s and occasionally in the upper 2600s, but it's a great pity for anyone so young to lose their life. More about Kurnosov here, here, here, here and here.
