Boris
Franzevich Gulko (Russian:
Борис
Францевич Гулько; IPA: [bɐˈrʲis ɡʊlʲˈko]; born February 9,
1947) is a Soviet-American International Grandmaster in chess. His peak Elo rating was 2644 in 2000.
Gulko is noted to be the only person to win both the Soviet
Chess Championship and the U.S.
Chess Championship, and for having a positive score against Garry
Kasparov.
Boris Gulko was born in 1947 to a Jewish family. His
father was a soldier of the Red Army and was stationed
in East Germany. His family returned to the Soviet Union after a few years.
Gulko became an International
Master in 1975, and a Grandmaster in 1976. He won the USSR
Chess Championship at Leningrad in 1977 along with Iosif
Dorfman. The Soviets usually would break ties for the title of Soviet Champion
with a multi-game match and 1977 was no exception. However, Gulko and Dorfman
were even after the six game playoff, so they shared the title and prestige of
Soviet Champion. They finished half a point ahead of a field that included
three former World Champions. Shortly after, Gulko applied to leave the
country, but permission was refused. He and his wife, Anna Akhsharumova, who is a Woman Grandmaster of chess, became
prominent Soviet Refuseniks. As a vehement anti-Communist, he was once
arrested and beaten by KGB agents.
They weren't allowed in top-level chess competition
until the period of glasnost arrived, and Gulko was
finally allowed to immigrate to the United
States in 1986. "Thirty-nine is too old to start playing and training to
reach the highest achievement in chess," said Boris, "those seven
years were a serious blow for my chess career, but I don’t regret them."
After moving to the U.S. he won the U.S.
Chess Championship in 1994 and 1999. He is the only chess player ever to
have held both the American and Soviet championship titles. Gulko also holds an
amazing positive score against Garry Kasparov, with three victories, four draws, and only one
defeat, in games played from 1978 to 2001 (according to ChessGames.com).
Gulko was subject to anti-semitic discrimination 20
years later. He qualified to play at the 2004 World Chess Championship in Libya. The president of
the Libyan Organizing Committee, dictator Gaddafi’s son, announced:
“We did not and will not invite the Zionist enemies to this
championship.” Gulko and several other Jewish players withdrew from the
tournament, and Gulko said in a letter[3] to Kirsan
Ilyumzhinov, the president of FIDE: “I implore you not to be the
first president of FIDE to preside over the first world chess championship from
which Jews are excluded. Our magnificent and noble game does not deserve such a
disgrace.”
Gulko played for Soviet Union in the Chess
Olympiad of 1978 and for the United States in the Chess Olympiads of 1988–2004.[4] He is still playing chess,
although he does not participate in a large number of tournaments. Today the Gulkos live in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
