Vladimir Mikhailovich Liberzon (Hebrew: ולדימיר מיכאילוביץ' ליברזון; Russian: Влади́мир Миха́йлович Либерзо́н; 23 March 1937, in Moscow[1] – 4 August 1996) was a Russian-born Israeli chess grandmaster.
Other results were less notable; his first entry led to a lowly finish at Tbilisi 1966/67, whereas he achieved solid mid-table performances at Moscow 1969 and at Riga 1970.
In tournaments he was first in Moscow (Central Chess Club-ch) in 1963, 1964, and 1965, fourth at Kislovodsk 1964, fifth at Yerevan 1965, second at Leipzig 1965, first at Zinnowitz 1967, first at Debrecen 1968, second at Amsterdam 1969, third at Dubna 1971 and third equal at Luhačovice.
[1] According to William Hartston, in The Independent, Liberzon was known for his disciplined professionalism and this made him one of the most consistent performers on the tournament circuit of the 1960s and 70s.
It is the rarest of lessons in attacking chess, given that his opponent is none other than tactical maestro and former world champion, Mikhail Tal.
