Follow-up question for Rilke
Are there pairs of male identical twins who were or are Grandmasters?

Twins who were are/were GM's
I'm almost certain no male twins have ever both been GM's, indeed I'm struggling to think of 2 brothers who have both been GM's ! There are a few players with the same surname such as Sokolov ( Andrei and Ivan) and Kuzmin ( Alexi and Gennadi) but I'm not even sure they are related ?
For anyone who uses Twitter Alexandra Kosteniuk is worth following :

There are quite a few other good chess sources on there also.
