Another ex-harkovchanin became a hero in our section. Pupil of the famous chess coach Vaisman, Boris Alterman said about me in junior tournament. However, the first major success came only to see Boris in 1990 - he snatches the championship of the USSR among youths under 20 years. For reference - in this tournament played Kramnik, Rublevsky and Sakaev. Two years later, Alterman becomes a grandmaster. It starts with the nomadic life of a professional chess. In the mid-nineties, Boris shows its best results.

He went abroad in 2600 and several years kept the rating. In addition, Alterman has proved an excellent team player. Perhaps his most high-profile successes (eg, bronze at the Olympiad in Elista, 1998) associated with performances of the Israeli team. In the late nineties, Boris began to work in the COP, which is responsible for projects in the gaming zone. In addition, he - one of the major chess consultant Shay Bushinsky, the developer of the famous program Deep Junior. Way Alterman - the only one of our experts, who managed to overcome its 'child' in last year's game 'experts against the machine'. 31 - for a chess player does not age. We wish our colleagues every success in work and the chessboard.
