Testing the World Championship Challenger's Opening Prep with the Vienna Game
The New Year started pretty poorly. But after winning this position down a queen and scoring 4 wins in a row to get 2nd place. Iโve become more optimistic about 2022 :)

Aleksandr Beliavsky (b. Lvov, 1953), pictured in 1975, the year he gained his GM title. He had already won the Soviet championship (shared with Mikhail Tal, in 1974), and would go on to win or share the title again in 1980/81, 1987 & 1990.

Again via the Svenska Dagbladet archive, a photo of the young Ulf Andersson, then a very promising junior from the town of Arboga.

Moscow, Oct 1973 - the 41st USSR Championship. Aleksandr Beliavsky is seen in play during the adjourned session of his game v. Karen Grigorian.
Beliavsky finished last in this, his first final. The next year he was co-champion, with Mikhail Tal.
