Gorba Mikhail Ivanovich Biography
Rules Mikhail Gorba.
Here is a monologue of a person who did not just create, but the victim of this project. The contribution of Mikhail Ivanovich to the development of the billiards is truly giant, but not understood and appreciated by everyone. At one time, I did not understand Mikhail Gorba, did not understand that a person who was exclusively investing in billiards, and does not receive from him, makes in the leadership of the FSBR.
He really seemed to me there "his own among strangers." And he saw the situation, development paths, hoped that with his presence, enthusiasm, phenomenal performance, he could change the situation for the better. The intelligent Mikhail Ivanovich tried to be a cosmetologist at a time when the surgeon’s services, if not a pathologist, were more appropriate for the leadership of the billiards.
At the same time, only the delicacy and vital wisdom of the hump allowed the “LLB ship” through the storm of the year. I don’t know, besides him, not a single person who could at that time and keep the “face” of the site, and not let the “body” die. I have something to be grateful to Mikhail Ivanovich. Part of what he did for me is obvious to everyone, even more will remain between us.
But today I advise everyone to read this text. One he will open his eyes on a number of events that had and influenced the development of billiards, others will learn facts that almost no one knew previously a couple of moments even for me even for me. For those who are going to develop billiards, to be a philanthropist, a sponsor, or try to conduct a billiard business - this interview can become a valuable textbook, protect from mistakes, show real ways to apply forces.
And now the word to Mikhail Ivanovich Gorba. Then several years of silence. What was the incentive motive to respond to my proposal to give a detailed interview on the pages until now, I hope, my beloved brainchild? Perhaps worth it! Our interview will be the logical completion of my participation in the LLB project, since I definitely do not see myself in it in the future: there is no time, no resources, nor its own fuse.
I will use an informational occasion to restore the most remembered moments of the history of the creation of LLB and share them with visitors to the site. Surely some of them believe that the LLB portal. We will help them expand the horizons. How he came to a billiard. Billard life to LLB. The first time Kiy took in his hands at the Olympic base in Escers near Sukhumi, in Abkhazia, in October of the year, at the training camp of the Spartak basketball team.
The first teacher is a fellow bug and a fellow countryman in Murmansk Sergey Kaprilenko, one of the first partners there, on the magnificent tables of the local billiard room - Misha Silantyev, the legendary player of the championship “Spartak”, with whom we are still friends. Mikhail Aleksandrovich for the second year in a row took place a healing course in the walls of the Sanatorium Sestroretsky Resort, which I have been manifested since August G.
In Soviet times, the billiards were not the most accessible occupation, so I played mainly by coincidence, but each time with great pleasure. Over time, the billiards from entertainment turned into an alternative basketball sport that helped me realize certain game ambitions, allowed me to re -survive all the emotions that you experience during tournament battles and which you can’t buy for any money.
Moreover, I left the big sport early enough, entering the technical university, having the title of CCM and successful game experience. The transition to a completely different level of immersion into the billiard world was the entry into the billiard club “Sharovnya in Aptekarsky”. In the club members, together with Semen Theodorovich Altov, I was accepted by his honorary president and head of the North-West Customs Administration V.
Shamakhov, he will later be a member of the G. I organized in September, thanks to the club’s club life, as well as extensive ties in the billiard world of the main marker of the legendary club Mikhail Sergeyevich Yeremeyev, who has been conducted over the years A variety of VIP tournaments is a sign figure in our community, I got acquainted with the strongest players of the city, the leaders of the Federation of Billard Sports of St.
Petersburg, and later with Vladimir Pavlovich Nikiforov, who traditionally represented the FBSR at all significant tournaments held in St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg from Yaroslavl, Sergey Bondarev came with the intention of engaging in individual coaching practice. I became his first commercial student in Sharovna. Following me through the Bondarev school, many St.
Petersburg billiards of amateurs from the business environment, as well as their children, passed. For me, the knowledge and skills gained from Sergey served as a serious platform for understanding the philosophy and psychology of the game, further development both as a player and a person immersed in the billiard world. Savinskoy and President of the Association of Banks of the North-West V.
Dzhikovich, starting from the city of a total of 12 championships of St. Petersburg in Russian billiards among bankers, each of which in 4 stages, 8 championships among the leaders of banks of St. Petersburg. For the St. Petersburg branch of the Yugra bank, which I have headed since DecemberLargely due to the excellent author’s program of Igor Zubarev “Formula of the game” on the Station TV channel, which has been published for more than three years, which made a great contribution to the popularization of billiards in the region and closed after the change of shareholders of the canal.
The first thing that was done at the beginning of the year later, against my background, as it seemed to me, insufficient public activity in the direction entrusted to the federation, decided to initiate a series of amateur tournaments in St. Petersburg. At that time, the city felt a clear shortage of commercial tournaments for everyone. The time was grateful, the number of billiard clubs increased, the number of active players grew, both in Russian billiards and in the pool.
The culmination of the billiard paper was the opening of the year in Europe the further flowering of the Leader Billiard Club. And further, at the junction of the years, Viktor Pshenichnikov made something more out of my initiative, during the New Year holidays, writing a revolutionary program in essence, which included both the innovative system of handicaps and the online system of turnkey tournaments.
Ideas for creating LLB. What goals pursued the League at the "Birth". Only the desire to automate the process of preparing, organizing and conducting competitions as much as possible, organize a series of citywide amateur tournaments in St. Petersburg. The second half of the year was a preparatory period, following which a number of fundamental ideas were developed that formed the basis of the project.
Each of them has contributed to the formation of the prototype of the program materialized by Victor. Alexander Nikolaevich told us about the gandicaps that existed at that time and brought convincing arguments in favor of tournaments with the handicap, the main of which is an increase in mass and equalization of the chances of participants, increasing their motivation. Vyacheslav Stepanovich, as an expert on the St.
Petersburg billiard party, compiled a list of local players and offered his version of personal starting handicaps, which we took as the basis. It had a player order - the result of painstaking work! For several months, Alexander Yuryevich exchanged information on electronic tournament accounting systems, shared relevant information and various tournament nets. To launch the system, he was studied, including the experience of the Belarusian portal Billiard-Online.
And, finally, his system and their 5-level classification from “beginner” to “champion” from Nolik to the “four” was shared by a large enthusiast of billiard sports Alexei Osinovsky, who conducted regular citywide multi-mirmaric championships with a gandicap, with a reflection of the results, statistics on the site written for these purposes, accompanied by his partner, accompanied by his partner - Programist.
Later, during the tournament, there was a need for another level - “five”, or “maestro”. It was a great surprise for me to find out that there is a community of players in the city who spend their tournaments weekly on Saturdays, summarize seasonal and annual results, and form a prize fund. And all this is based on the original software product, it is in the nature of a well -functioning system.
Alexei reminded me of the chairman of the closed elite club, and the community of players, the order of the players were his members. As a joke, I compared this community with a religious sect, due to their certain self -isolation and a strict discipline of players. It must be honest that after the team entering the LLB project, that Alexei did not without internal fluctuations, this coordinated group gradually assimilated into the total mass of players, began to give preference to Russian billiard tournaments, which were more numerous, and they had higher the prize fund.
For example, a strong pulpist Alexander Vasiliev immediately hit the 2nd final of the LLB championship - a pyramid and pool, and our judges had to solve a logistics problem to organize his participation in both tournaments. From these scattered fragments, thanks to the talent and practical experience of programming Viktor Pshenichnikov, a program was born, which later became the basis of the new WWW website.
In October, the third discipline - Snucker later added later. The backbone of enthusiasts was determined, ready to promote this undertaking and accompany him on a volunteer basis, who were administered by Mikhail Andreev and Viktor Pshenichnikov. After the meeting on October 22, it was necessary to solve a lot of organizational and technical issues. Viktor Pshenichnikov with Mikhail Andreev and Stanislav Bulatsky resolved organizational and technical issues in coordination with clubs, I sat down to write a draft provision of the LLB championship, which gave a full description of the regulations, the system of organizing tournaments, the principles of their rating to calculate the integral coefficient when calculating points for participating in the tournament, compiling individual players' ratings, system calculation systems, the formation of a prize fund, deductions to clubs, etc.
To motivate the participants, I allocated to the first two championships the final prize fund from my personal funds, which from the very beginning of the project flowed at first with separate streams, and literally by the end of the first season of the LLB, with an increase in the geography of the project, our enthusiasm for them, appetites for new ideas and ambitions to embrace the immense, the need for the continuous M maintenance of the regions located in different watch The belts turned into a full -flowing river, which was poured monthly on average, if we take into account the entire LLB budget with its creative projects, annual festivals of billiards, etc.
Only more than 80 were held on the framework for diplomas of the winners of tournaments of LLB tournaments and more than thousand rubles were spent annually. So far we have not changed the format and began to print diplomas from textured materials that do not require a framework, which significantly reduced the costs under this article. I say and understand the bottomlessness of this topic for its coverage.
Moreover, in the process of preparing for the interview, he climbed into his computer archives and was amazed at the volume of the developed materials. I do not think that readers will be interested in all the bloody details of the startup and the details of the project itself in its dynamics. In order to feel the rhythm and beating of the pulse, I attach a number of documents of that time, thereby reducing my monologue on this topic.
Having passed all the preparatory stages, we launched the first tournament under the auspices of the LLB in the Hermes-Mercury BC in a free pyramid with the number of participants-77 people. This day we consider the official date of birth of LLB. At that time, most players did not yet instruct personal cards in the Bilbort, so the preliminary registration system did not give a real picture and did not allow to predict the scale of the tournament.
So far, on six computers, the participants were registered in 12 hands, Viktor Pshenichnikov on the knee composed a net for “Olympic” for players, and I entertained them with contests like: forget the “pants” and get a prize, on January 27, the re -tournament in the “Leader” on the combined pyramid on February 2 is a participant! It was fantasy by the standards of that time!
Looking back, you understand that we were not ready for such an explosive increase in interest in our tournaments. Both players and clubs were hungry. Everyone wanted to hold more tournaments. It was necessary to go a tremendous path to honeing the regulations of tournaments with restrictions on the number of parties, the number of players, depending on the number of tables, in the selection of comfortable nets, the system of determining fair initial handicaps and their recalculation after each match played, the organization of the work of judges, the technical equipment of the clubs, some of which did not even have a sustainable exit of the Internet when the Internet Our Internet is format!
All this is difficult to describe in words. To understand the volume of work that fell on our small team at that time, we must visit the epicenter of events. When each of us, having rolled up his sleeves, plows in hours and many have his own responsible constant work, and some negatives are constantly pouring on it, critical arrows fly, there are always dissatisfied, dodging, looking for gaps in our system, ill-wishers, etc.
What can not be said about our enthusiasm and creative rise. There was no time to think about all this, it was necessary to bring to mind the brainchild we had born. Despite the fact that some new interesting ideas and projects were constantly born, which I also wanted to do. They swallowed all this in large pieces, not always chewing and not always saving and rationally consuming my personal funds.
Charged some players.
