I would add Leonid Stein and Yefim Geller!

And I'm pretty sure David Bronstein is a boy from Kiev.

Yeah, but they were not from the deep past like Bogo or Bogatyrchuk.
And what`s more important did they feel like being citizens of Ukraine or
rather of CCCP ?

There have been some great players from the Ukraine.I wonder who was considered
to be the Greatest Ukrainian Chess Player of all time?But they were not from
the deep past like Bogo or Bogatyrchuk.
I suppose my post would have been more appropiate to an earlier post on this
thread.As far as chess politics I agree Stein and Geller were treated as
citizens of CCCP.However I have heard speculation that Steins life could have
been sustained with better medical attention.I believe Stein would have had
real chances in the Candidates Cycle that Karpov won.

Although it is a strange concept to inhabitants of the more liberal
democracies, many would draw a distinciton between "Ukranian players"
(e.g. Ivanchuk) and "players from Ukraine (e.g. Geller).

You mean it's not "Lemberg" any more? I have such trouble keeping up with
these things. Now if I could just figure out what ever became of
Leopolis...

Personally, I cannae stand W. Allen's brand of humour, yes I know, his
daddy was a N.y.c. cab driver, & yea I even know all about Mia's
troubles & trials, over Woodies love & lust for the young, adopted
Korean, female child. Is there something amiss with my distaste for this
mans play on humour, or is it simply not being able to relate to the
'geek'? Please help with suggestions, I like involuntary laughter..


Try listening to Leonard Cohen. That should cheer you up....
