Vasily Vasilyevich Smyslov (Russian: Васи́лий Васи́льевич Смысло́в) (March 24, 1921 – March 27, 2010) was a Soviet and Russian chess grandmaster, and was World Chess Champion from 1957 to 1958. He was a Candidate for the World Chess Championship on eight occasions (1948, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1959, 1965, 1983, and 1985).....(The full article could be found in Wikipedia here :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Smyslov )He was also considered one of the best ever chess endgame players in the history of chess. I would like to express my condolences to his family and his admirers and all the chess community .
