Career

edit

In 2004, during the 14th Abu Dhabi Chess Festival, Vladimirov played a match against the computer program Hydra, losing three games and drawing one.[1]

He acted as one of Garry Kasparov's seconds in his 1986 World Championship match against Anatoly Karpov,[2][3] when he was accused by Kasparov of giving information about the former's preparation to Karpov. However, no proof of Vladimirov's treason have ever been produced. In 2004 he was awarded the title of FIDE Senior Trainer.[4] In 2014, at the 1st Annual Asian Chess Excellence Awards in Al Ain, Vladimirov was voted the best coach of the year.[5]
