Career
In 2004, during the 14th Abu Dhabi Chess Festival, Vladimirov played a match against the computer program Hydra, losing three games and drawing one.[1]
He acted as one of Garry Kasparov's seconds in his 1986 World Championship match against Anatoly Karpov, when he was accused by Kasparov of giving information about his preparation to Karpov.[2][3] However, no proof of Vladimirov's treason have ever been produced. In 2004 he was awarded the title of FIDE Senior Trainer.[4] In 2014, at the 1st Annual Asian Chess Excellence Awards in Al Ain, Vladimirov was voted the best coach of the year.[5]
