Mikhail Botvinnik, born in 1984 in Belarus, emigrated to Israel with his family.

Tigran Petrosian, born in 1983, lives in Yerevan.

Mikhail Botvinnik played Tigran Petrosian on Board 4 in the match between Israel and Armenia during the Children's Olympiad.

White plays OK for a kid, but Black is a Terror.

Neither of them are related to their famous namesakes.

I got this from HERE who got it from New in Chess.
