We added six players to Study, with 2,754 of their wins in the archive. Each player has a portrait, a biography and a list of notable games with a note on each one.

Romanovsky, Rabinovich, Tseshkovsky and Sokolov each won or shared a Soviet championship, and Chiburdanidze was Women's World Champion from 1978 to 1991. The new players appear on the Players page in order of the average year of their games.
