In the wake of my post on Mark Taimanov's passing, I received an email informing me that a talented young Russian GM named Yuri Yeliseyev passed away this past Saturday at the age of 20. He fell from a balcony in what appears to have been a parkour-related accident. A little more about him here; and if anyone is aware of some of his best games, please share these (or links to them) in the comments.
Rest in peace.
UPDATE: Here's another article on the young man, also linked to in the comments.
