Vaganian was a fantastic player. When I was following the chess scene closely, he was a Candidate for the World Championship, in the mid-to-late 80s and I think even before then. Of course, he never could win the crown with the likes of Karpov, Kasparov, and Korchnoi around.
handsome youth wasn't he? almost as good-looking as me lol. Furman could play a bit, i've come across quite a few of his games against some legendary players and he was Karpov's coach ofcourse so good to put a face to the name but i must confess i'd not heard of Vaganian til now even tho he's got a fantastic record acc to wiki and made GM aged 19.
