Wassin is certainly a strong player, but not the flame he was once.
Sadly, I have only played him once, in the famous UK match in the Olympiad 2008
in Heraklion.
There, I had a very dramatic victory against him, clinching a famous 2.5-1.5 UK
win against Ukraine. I'm confident that I've annotated the game, but can't seem
to put my hand on it at the moment. Wonder if Tyson has it somewhere?
I can post the game score, but would be interested if a copy of the annotated
game is about anywhere.
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks, Chris.
Wassin's great. My chess instructor who I found through the ICC is
from the Ukraine and has seen him play.

All,
As has been pointed out, Tazbir is hardly "blind". Short-sighted at best.
Certainly, here in the UK, he would not be classified as "visually
impaired". He plays on the ordinary sized board and does not need nor use
any adaptive equipment. Indeed, he plays in regular tournaments for normally
sighted people. I've witnessed him walking along major main roads without
assistance or guidance.
Presently, the strongest "totally blind" chess player, currently active, is
Sergej Wassin (FM) from Ukraine, rated at 2257.
I think, I come a close second!
Annotated game to be coming out later today, I hope, where I beat a 207 ECF
grade (2200+ ELO), last night in great positional style.
Cheers,
Chris
