FIDE announced the death of Sergey Pinchuk at the age of eighty-three and recognised his contribution to chess development in Uzbekistan. Born in Tashkent in 1943, he became a national representative and a multiple winner of domestic championship titles before moving into coaching.
Pinchuk began professional coaching in 1970 at the Republican Youth School of Sports Mastery. He led national youth teams for twenty years, including the Uzbekistan side that won the 1984 All-Union Spartakiad of Schoolchildren in Tashkent.
His work also supported Uzbekistan’s silver medal at the 1992 Chess Olympiad in Manila. He coached Grigory Serper and Rustam Kasimdzhanov and received honours for coaching and public education, alongside government recognition for his long service.
