Miron Naumovich Sher (June 29, 1952, Chernivtsi, Ukraine – August 21, 2020, New York) (in Russian, Мирон Наумович Шер)
Career
[edit]As a player in the Soviet Union
[edit]Sher's growing emphasis on coaching
[edit]After several visits to Scandinavia in the 1990s, Sher began coaching GM Peter Heine Nielsen, currently the second of World Champion GM Magnus Carlsen. Nielsen wrote about those travels: "I was among the lucky to make his acquaintance. Me being a teenager, I recall getting up in the morning asking my parents if they had seen him, getting the reply: 'He has been sitting in the living room being ready to work for two hours already!' Entering the room with a guilty conscience, I however was greeted with his typical warm smile and we spent the next two days basically talking about chess non-stop.[1]
"He was my introduction to classical chess-culture, and I recall showing Miron one of my games where he rightly suggested that here perhaps I could do the Rubinstein maneuver (re: Akiba Rubinstein) of playing ...a6...Qb8-a7! It was impossible not to notice that he enjoyed his work and always was happy to share his knowledge and opinions. We would look at my games, and I would ask about openings, do chess exercises, or he would show me interesting games. No question from me would ever be treated as it was stupid.[1]
"I was very happy when he returned for a second visit, but not surprised when he made a name for himself in New York settling there with his family as a chess coach with numerous strong students, most notably, of course, Fabiano Caruana. Having fallen out of touch, we met again for lunch in 2015 catching up, and during the 2016 World Championship match in New York, he was a calming, experienced friend to talk to during intense games, giving advice, understanding the stress of the situation."[1]
Coaching in the United States
[edit]In 1997 the Sher family moved to the United States, where he became a scholastic coach. One of the motivations for the move was so that Sher's son would not have to serve in the Russian army.[2]
David MacEnulty – portrayed in the 2005 film, Knights of the South Bronx – in his capacity as director of chess at New York's Dalton School worked together with Sher for many years, told Chess.com: "Grandmaster Miron Sher was a grandmaster of far more than chess. He was one of the most superb human beings ever to grace the earth. I first met Miron in, I think, 1994. He and Alla had recently arrived in America, and NM Steve Colding called to see if I would like to hire a brilliant Russian grandmaster to help with my team in the Bronx. When Miron gave his first lesson, I knew immediately I was in the presence of a chess wizard. His English was still a work in progress, but his chess was clear, concise, to the point, and completely understandable.
"I hired him on the spot; it was the best decision I ever made as a chess teacher. Miron was the key to all my later success as a chess coach. He was brilliant but soft-spoken, always optimistic, always prepared, and always generous with his knowledge, which was extraordinarily deep. At the national tournaments, we had a team of coaches to analyze the kids' games. When I needed help—which was a frequent occurrence—I would go to one of the masters. If they didn't have a clear understanding, we would take it to Miron. He always knew immediately and would quote a game from St. Petersburg Chess Club Tournament of 1909 (ru), Carlsbad 1929, Zurich 1953 or some other event to show the genesis of the position.
"I remember once I carried around a game [Yasser] Seirawan had played against a Brazilian master. It was a Scotch game where the master made a weak 12th move, but I couldn't figure out what he should have played. I showed the game to Miron and asked what he thought. After wincing at that ugly 12th move, he studied the position briefly and came up with an idea that would never have crossed my mind. I asked how he found that, and he said there was—and he showed it to me—an analogous position in the Gruenfeld with colors reversed!
"For all his wisdom, knowledge and expertise, he was never one for self-promotion. One year at the Grade Nationals our team won three first places and five other trophies in the top five. When I tried to acknowledge Miron's contribution—which was monumental—he simply shrugged and said, 'They played well.'"
Fabiano Caruana
[edit]Sher coached Fabiano Caruana from the age of eight until he was 12. Caruana moved to Europe in 2004.
Others
[edit]New York City chess educator FM Mike Klein stated, "I eventually had to ask him [Sher] about a famous game, Nunn-Sher 1994 [ Hastings Challenger Premier Tournment ]. I waited until I knew him a little better, trying to observe the chess player coda that you don't approach someone for the first time and ask about a magnificent loss. Miron never took any exception. Instead, he told me about the secret trick he'd learned from this game: Miron realized that Nunn never played any of the moves that he expected, so after that loss, he stopped trying to guess them, and he fared much better in the next game. I don't know how many more stories Miron leaves behind, but I only wish that he was around to offer one more."
Shaun Smith of Chess in the Schools, where Miron taught classes for elite high schoolers: "He will be missed. I loved watching Miron Sher teach lunch club in John Galvin's office at 318K. He delivered lessons based on games that had been played that morning, and he always had the most prepared lessons! I also will never forget our trip together to Greece to coach Justus Williams (see: 2012 film, Brooklyn Castle). His calm coaching techniques and long walks before every round served as a great inspiration to me and Justus. Miron will be missed."
NM Shawn Martinez, a New York City chess coach, wrote: "Miron was a huge influence in my chess career growing up learning chess in IS 318. In order to participate in his class, you needed to be in the top group or specially selected by Elizabeth Spiegel (née Vicary). This was a class that began at 7:30 a.m. before school even started so the dedication had to be there! In those days he would tell many detailed stories during his lessons and for me, it was like reliving the experience through the lesson, and even getting the chance to have my own game analyzed by him was surreal. He was truly dedicated to his students. I am currently the same age as Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So, and these are players that in their teens Miron would speak highly of along with Fabiano and many others. He had a true eye for talent and remarkable skill in teaching that elevated many who worked with him. I will forever be honored for the opportunity to know and work with him."
If you want to know some teaching tricks and techniques that made him so successful, past "Chess Educator of the Year" Woman Fide Master Elizabeth Spiegel shared these thoughts from their time teaching together at IS 318, the only middle school ever to win the high school nationals:
"Miron taught our advanced players at IS 318 from 2000 to 2013. He was a phenomenal teacher; rich material, amazing questions, lots of different rules and thinking techniques to explain. I learned many teaching ideas from him that I still use every day in my classroom. A few of my favorites:
- He emphasized the importance of noticing tactical targets: pieces that are not defended, but also "not well defended", his term which meant a piece is defended only the same number of times as it's attacked, so if its attacked again it's winnable.
- He encouraged us to think of "dream moves", a sort of thinking technique where you ask "if I could lift this piece up and drop it anywhere, where would it be amazing?" This opens your mind to what's possible, without worrying about what's easy.
- Miron introduced me to the excellent teacher trick of asking a class for the last move of a variation, which both ensures that students have calculated the variation to completion, and also makes it possible for one student to give an answer without ruining the problem for everyone else.
- He coined the term "spy pawn" to describe a white pawn on, say, g7, shielding the black king. Because a spy pawn can never be taken, it provides an unusual kind of protection for the defender.
- My all-time favorite Sher rule is "the 20% rule". This says that if a pawn has been advanced to the 5th rank or further, pushing it is the correct move 20% of the time. When I first heard Miron explain this, I had to stifle my laughter. It's absurd, of course, to try to approximate the complexities of chess with the blunt force of probability. But it made our shared students into aggressive pushers of passed pawns, so that worked out well.
"These techniques and fun rules made Miron an effective teacher. But Miron was much more than effective. He changed his students' lives and he did that by treating them with an unusual and unfailing respect. In his class at 318, when a student would suggest a variation or asked a detailed question in class, Miron would always respond the same way. He would listen, repeat the variation slowly so that everyone was following, and then, very deliberately, think for 10-15 seconds. He would then turn back to the student, nod several times, and reply, 'Yes, now I understand your idea. Let me think ... '
"This is a profoundly respectful way to respond to a question: it acknowledges the question as a complex thought that must be first understood in its own right, before any attempt to answer it. Imagine what this must be like for a child: to have an International Grandmaster of Chess, a white-haired, world-famous foreign-sounding man with seemingly encyclopedic knowledge, treat you as an intellectual equal. It allows you, maybe for the first time, to see yourself as a thinker worthy of respect, a mental force to be reckoned with. This is why children loved and trusted and learned so much from Miron: he was an intellectual giant who lifted everyone else up and never gave any indication he was the tallest person in the room."
"[He was] one of the greatest trainers left," Mikhalchishin said. "Pity that he did not write a book about his experience."[1][3]
USSR Army
[edit]Viktor Korchnoi, in 1976, then ranked second in the world, became the first strong Soviet grandmaster to defect from the Soviet Union, leaving his wife, Bella, and son, Igor, behind. As some point, Igor had been promised that, if he gave up his passport, he would be released to join his father. After surrendering his passport, he was promptly drafted in the Soviet army, which he refused to serve. Igor was concerned about a Soviet policy that ex-army personnel had a very low chance of emigrating for at least 10 years after serving under a broadly applied pretense that, while serving, they may have become privy to military secrets. Igor was convicted of draft-dodging and sentenced to two and one half years in a Siberian labor camp – a sentence he served until May 1982. Even though Bela and Igor were able to emigrate July 3, 1982, Vienna, Viktor and Bella divorced in 1983.

Soviet dominance perspective
[edit]With the exception of five years, 1972, 1973, and 1974 – the years Bobby Fischer of the U.S. won – and 2000 and 2001 – the years Viswanathan Anand of India won, Soviet and ex-Soviet players won world championships from 1948 through 2007. Put another way, for 60 years, from 1948, Soviet and ex-Soviet players were World Champions 55 of those years – a feat accomplished by 12 players (or 11 subtracting Kasparov's 8 disputed titles; but note that the dispute was with other Russians).
The seven disputed years, 1993 through 1999, the three players, Kasparov, Karpov, and for 1999, Alexander Khalifman were all ex-Soviet-Russian. No one from an ex-Soviet country has won the World Championship in the last seventeen years (since 2007).
