Leonid's Megapage

Post by AGove »

Does anyone remember Leonid's Chess Megapage? It had lots of opening theory on most openings. I used to be able to find it at www.kasparov300mph.com or www.chesstheory.de but I thought it had disappeared forever. Yet I've just rediscovered a a snippet at http://www.fortunecity.de/olympia/marad ... kandi.html

Where can I see the rest of it - all the other openings? And who was Leonid?

I have collected through time his positions that gave me nightmares since i could use programs most of the times to solve them and here are 5 of them(be careful since some of them are computer unfriendly since they make many engines to crash):
