πΉ Kharkov 1967
πΉ 7 - 26 December
πΉ 35th Soviet Chess Champion
π° CHAMPION: Lev Polugaevsky | 10/13 |
SHARED WITH: Mikhail Tal | 10/13 |
β¦οΈ The 35th USSR Championship was held in Kharkov from December 7-26, 1967, and was dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution which brought the Communist Party to power. For such an occasion, it was felt that a return to mass participation was in order, so the tournament was organized as a 13-round Swiss for 126 players.
Of course, there were other reasons. 1967 had been a very busy year for the top Soviet players, with major international tournaments in Leningrad and Moscow as well as the Sousse Interzonal. Many were expected to skip the Championship to rest, so it seemed a good idea to open things up and see what kind of talent was out there.
Quite a few of the top stars did skip the tournament, and were probably not too disappointed. The Swiss System format proved very unpopular with complaints about the pairings starting in the very first round. By the end, several players had dropped out and the general opinion was that the Swiss System might work well enough in bourgeois nations like the United States, but the Soviet Union would henceforth stick to its elitist round robins.
π’ Tal summed up matters well by remarking:
"The Swiss System is good: we should adopt it again for the one hundred year anniversary of the Revolution!"
Some future stars did make their debuts, such as Lev Alburt, Mark Dvoretsky, Boris Gulko, Gennady Sosonko, Evgeni Sveshnikov, and Rafael Vaganian.
π’ However, the co-champions were the experienced players Mikhail Tal and Lev Polugaevsky.
