About Vladimir B Tukmakov

Vladimir Tukmakov was born in Odesa in 1946 and became a GM in 1972. He finished runner-up in the Soviet championships of 1970, 1972 and 1983, behind Viktor Korchnoi, Mikhail Tal and Anatoly Karpov respectively. His international results included second place behind Bobby Fischer at Buenos Aires in 1970 and tournament victories in Amsterdam, Vilnius and Lugano. He helped the Soviet Union win the 1984 Olympiad and contributed to its victory in that year's match against the Rest of the World.

Tukmakov later became a coach and non-playing captain. He led Ukraine's team to gold at the 2004 Olympiad and received the FIDE Senior Trainer title that year. His pupils included Anish Giri, with whom he began working in 2014. His books explore preparation, risk and coaching, including Profession: Chessplayer, Modern Chess Preparation and Coaching the Chess Stars.
