Yuri Razuvaev, 1945-2012

Russian grandmaster and trainer Yuri Razuvaev died on Wednesday after a long illness at the age of 66. Razuvaev wasn't a member of the super-elite in his day, but he was strong enough to make the 1984 Russia vs. the Rest of the World Team in 1984 and to draw all four games there with Robert Huebner, then one of the world's best players. His achievements as a trainer may have been even greater, as you can read in some of the tribute articles around the web.
