It is with great sadness that the WCU has learned that GM Evgeni Andreyevitch Vasiukov died on 10th May.
As a chessplayer he was among the strongest players at his peak having won the Moscow Championships six times.
He regularly competed for Russia in the World and European Seniors Team Championships until last year.
The WCU would like to offer our sincere condolences to his family at this difficult time.
