the Tragic death of a young and talented Russian grandmaster Yuri Yeliseyev was a shock, the athlete was a bright man and an extraordinary player who could achieve great heights, said the chief coach of the sports national team of Russia on chess Sergey Yanovsky.
“I knew very well George, he was a very talented player, a very bright boy, he always loved in the team. It is completely original – George always was looking for an unusual way at all, unusual decisions was very characteristic. He was one of the most talented young Russian Grand masters,” said Janowski R-Sport.
“George always wanted a way around the unusual decision was very peculiar. He was one of the most talented young Russian Grand masters”
“This is a very heavy loss, and did not find the words, when these young people leave in the Prime of life, so incomprehensible. All players are shocked, it’s impossible to understand,” he added.
“while George was a selfless man, very good at chess, – the interlocutor continued. – And a pragmatism typical of his peers, sometimes his talent trying to make certain material goods, he was missing, he was ready to play for their teams. Wealth for him were in second place, he loved the art and beauty of chess.”
the Coach added that the athlete from a young age has been characterized by unpredictable behaviour. “As a boy he was always drawn to show their fearlessness and somewhere to climb – continued Yanovsky. – But not to the extent of extreme and within reasonable limits. To get, for example, to a height of two meters, to go over the edge, to show that he is absolutely not afraid of heights. Yuri was very original, and such a show of fearlessness was always inherent in it”.
Coach of national teams of Russia believes that the expectations in the coming years could achieve success. “Such people sometimes can shoot at a very high level, – said the expert. – It seemed to me that some kind of ceiling for him just yet, because he was very distinctive and outstanding chess player, and if he gets into a favorable environment and you will find your way to further improvement, he can be very add and enter the Russian Olympic team. And maybe even fight for the highest chess achievements”.
“Yuri was a very gifted boy and already becoming a well-behaved, but continued to increase, added Janowski. – In all of its decisions were clearly visible identity and his own way, he rejected any ready-made recipes. And in all this Yuri stood out with his bright personality. And people with such qualities can sometimes reach very high altitudes. Because there is always an individual approach in finding new ways always more valuable than the following ready recipes.”
In turn, the trainer of Junior Russian national team Mikhail Kobalia said that Elisha was a talented chess player, who now was on the rise. “George was a champion of Russia and the world in the category up to 16 years, led the youth team at the Olympics to 16. I knew him since 2011 when he became coach of the Junior team. Twice we went to the Olympics twice and became Champions,” said Kobalia.
“the team was still Danya Dubov, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Elisha played on the third Board. Remember, it struck me that even though usually the people in the team are changing, Elisha all the time wanted to play and the only one in the team has played without substitutions. Then scored 8 of 10 points, that is, the standard was very high. And next year he was “first Board”, he added.
According to him, Yuri was very original. “Yura in chess and in life was his way and he didn’t back down. We were on some purely chess issues looked different, but he stubbornly defended their point of view. He tried to get to the bottom of it. Probably, these people move the theory forward,” said Kobalia.
Kobalia said that he did not know about dangerous Hobbies Eliseeva. “Now I was told that he was doing parkour. Apparently, this was in line with his desire to go to the point, I don’t know… It’s overall a terrible year for the Russian youth chess. At the beginning of the year killed 20-year-old Ivan Bukavshin, and now George. And how Bukavshin, Yura’s recently been a big chess rise, he won the Moscow Open. It was the best our juniors. Don’t even know what to say here,” Kobalia added.
Earlier on Sunday it became known that the 21-year life in Moscow died tragically the winner of the chess tournament Moscow Open in 2016, the champion of Russia in classical chess Yury Eliseev.
Elisha fell from the balcony of his apartment on the 12th floor. According to friends, the chess master was fond of parkour.
