Evgeni Vasiukov
Evgeni Andreyevich Vasiukov (born March 5, 1933 in Moscow) is a Russian chess Grandmaster. During his career, he won the Championship of Moscow on six occasions (1955, 1958, 1960, 1962, 1972, and 1978) and scored many victories in international tournaments, such as Belgrade Open 1961, Moscow International 1961, East Berlin 1962, and Manila 1974. He was rarely at his best in Soviet Championship Finals, which were among the very toughest events in the world. Somewhat remarkably, Vasiukov never made the Soviet team for an Olympiad or a European Team Championship. Vasiukov has continued to play Master events, well into his 70s, and was active in February 2007 at the European Seniors event at Dresden.
