Thank you for doing this! I'm from Finland and Nybäck is definitely the strongest player we ever had. I think he could have broken even 2700 or heck even 2750 if he would have gone all in on chess. But at least what I heard he kind of lost interest or motivation to do chess full time around year 2010. Maybe it was the money? For example poker was doing more money for him. That's a shame because if Nybäck was from more traditional chess country I'm sure he would have gotten more financial support for his chess career. There was a article in biggest newspaper in Finland few years back about Nybäck which stated that Nybäck could have been one of the best and is kind of "greatness that we lost".

Quick tip: When traveling in Finland when you don't know Finnish, just fall back on your Estonian. The languages are related and you might be able to get by a little bit. (Of course, it might be easier to simply use English, as the Finns are notoriously skilled in the English language.)

He may be Finnish, but the name looks Swedish. The sounds like the in French tu, and the sounds like the in bet.

@mikahamari6420 Жыл бұрын

You are correct, his name has Swedish origin. Part *ny* in his name is cognate word with English *new* and means the same.

@HawkOfGP Жыл бұрын

Swedish surnames are common in Finland. Approximately 5% of Finns even speak Swedish as their first language.

I doubt we will see Nybäck in the Olympiad soon. His team forfeited a league match a during the pandemic with short notice. There were some virus exposures and they couldn't gather a full roster of players. The Finnish Chess Federation sanctioned them by disqualifying and relegating the team. Nybäck considered the penalty to be too harsh considering the circumstances. He is now indefinitely boycotting the national team.

32:50, I thought to compare them and noticed gligoric's and finegold's (english) wikipedia pages are actually of comparable length, and both at basically the same peak rating, 2600 vs from what I recall just under that, to be precise, using page down key, finegold's wiki page is 75% of gligoric's length.

You can approximate the pronunciation of Nybäck quite well with New-beck. Or if you know German then Nü-beck.

He may have stopped playing poker, or he may just have stopped playing tournaments. You can get a better ROI from cash games with much less variance.

@ramela Жыл бұрын

GM Finegold's pronounciation was actually quite close. The only major correction would be that the last syllable of "Nybäck" ("bäck") is pronounced "beck" (Like the singer). This is because Nybäck is a Swedish name and the letter "ä" is pronounced /e/ in Swedish. (Finland was a former colony of Sweden so we have a lot of Swedish names and a large minority of people who speak Swedish as their first language.)

@kyyyni Жыл бұрын

Not colony but a part of Swedish core territory almost as long as there was a Kingdom of Sweden in the first place; some 500 years longer than e.g. formerly-Danish Scania :) Territories like Livonia or Saint Barthélemy could be called having been Swedish colonies. Language-based nationalism wasn't invented until 1800s.

I mean you do lose a knight but white doesn't have the bishop controling F8 anymore so you don't get mated?

@Demian_R Жыл бұрын

You're correct. It's still losing and white is +7 or more. There was no good move or way to recover, without losing a Knight and that's why Ba3 was so good.
