The Chess Genius GM\Gata Kamsky Masterpiece !

Gata Kamsky was born June 2nd, 1974 in Siberia. After beginning his chess career in Russia, winning two USSR Junior Championships, Kamsky relocated to the United States in 1989. In July 1990 he became the youngest player ever to be rated in FIDE's world top ten.

In 2010 he won the U.S. Championship once again...(http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=15874)
