An Inside View - Yury Shulman 07/05/2009 - Chess
Hometown:
Chicago, Illinois
Reason for invitation:
Qualified - defending U.S. Champion
USCF Rating:
2697
Title:
Grandmaster

Highlights: 2008 U.S. Championship, 2006 U.S. Open Championship, tied for first in the 2001 World Open

Yury Shulman achieved the Grandmaster title in 1995 and moved to the U.S. four years later to become one of the top American players. Shulman also uses chess for philanthropic causes. He founded the Yury Shulman International Chess School and consistently contributes to not-for-profit entities, schools and camps. He holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science and an MBA. Last year proved to be a great year for Shulman: In addition to winning his first U.S. Championship title, he was also part of the bronze medal Olympiad team in Dresden, Germany.

You wouldn’t expect reigning U.S. Champion, Yury Shulman and comp sci and business graduate to be superstitious. But he raves about the “lucky car” at the 2006 U.S Championship in San Diego. He drove to the tournament each afternoon with soon to be champions, Alex Onischuk and Anna Zatonskih. Yury won his 32-player group and Alex won his, resulting in a friend vs. friend battle. Why did Yury lose? Probably because he sat in the back seat on the ride to the final. Yury's moment at the top of the crosstable came soon enough. In the 2008 U.S. Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma Yury netted clear first with uncompromising play such as this win over GM Julio Becerra.

Yury moved from his native Belarus to the United States in 1999 to attend UTD (University of Texas at Dallas), a three-time national championship college team. UTD takes chess very seriously. In addition to offering scholarships to top players like Yury, UTD wants to see chess taught in elementary schools across the country.

Although Yury's second place finish in the 2006 US Championship was a surprise to most fans, those who followed his performance in the 2005 World Cup in Russia weren't surprised at all. Yury went up against some of the top players in the World in this knockout tournament and defeated three higher rated GMs to advance to the round of 32, including a very impressive victory over former FIDE World Champion Alexander Khalifman. Despite 8 Americans competing in this event, only Gata Kamsky was able to advance further than Shulman.

Yury credits his excellent results in the past few years to his chess students. Yury has been teaching since he graduated from UTD. Teaching has helped him see chess in a different way, and he even came up with opening novelties while working with his students. Some chess professionals only teach cause of the financial reward, but Yury claims that even if he were rich, he’d still coach.

He also leads the summer chess camp in Lindsborg, Kansas and coached the 2006 Women’s Olympiad team in Turin to an impressive fourth place finish. In 2008, Yury joined the men's Olympic team and helped lead them to a fantastic bronze medal finish. Yury scored the final clutch win over Ukraine's board four, Efimenko to clinch bronze.
