Veniamin Sozin 1896–1956) was a Russian
master, author, and theoretician. He advocated the Sozin Attack (White's 6.Bc4
) against the Sicilian around 1930, which became popular from the 1950s, and
was frequently employed by Fischer. In 1925, Sozin introduced the Sozin Variation
(Black's 11...Nxe5) against the QGD, Semi-Slav, Meran Variation which since has
become standard.
