♦️ Russian Chess International Master
📚 IM and WGM Alisa Mikhailovna Galliamova won the World Girls Junior Championship (Under 20) in 1988 and has competed in Candidates and World Championship Tournaments since 1990 when she placed 4th in the Borzomi Candidates tournament. In 1994, she came fourth in the Tillburg Candidates and won the Groningen Candidates in 1997 ahead of Xie Jun. Her subsequent match with Xie Jun in 1999, which Galliamova lost, determined the new Women's World Champion when FIDE stripped Zsuzsa Polgar of the title.
📕 Galliamova became the 2006 World Women's Vice-Champion when she lost the final match of the FIDE Women's World Championship (2006) to Yuhua Xu. In 2012, she played in the FIDE Knock-out Women's World Championship (2012), defeating Ekaterina Kovalevskaya and Valentina Gunina in the early rounds before losing to French GM Marie Sebag in the third round.
📕 Other successes include winning the Women's Russian Championship in 1997, coming 7th in the Men's Russian Championship in 2000 and winning the 60th Russian Women's Superfinal (2010).

🔵 Chess History - Tournaments
💢 MOSCOW 1971
💢 Alekhine Memorial Tournament
🔰 CHAMPION: Anatoly Karpov | 11/17 (+5 -0 =12) |
SHARED WITH : Leonid Stein |11/17 (+5 -0 =12) |
✅ The Alekhine Memorial was a recurring chess tournament, organized in different cities and irregular intervals, honoring the former world chess champion Alexander Alekhine.
The Alekhine Memorial tournaments have no numbering (technically it is not a series), sometimes it is thus unclear whether or not an event can be regarded as an Alekhine Memorial (as for instance at Moscow in 1959 and the following Moscow Central Chess Club International tournaments).
🔹 Immediately after Alekhine's death, Erich Eliskases won at Rio de Janeiro in 1946 the first Alekhine Memorial ever held.
✅ From November 24 - December 18, 1971 the Alekhine Memorial Tournament was held in the Soviet capital of Moscow, on the fifteen year anniversary of the first Alekhine Memorial. Eighteen of the world's strongest grandmasters, including the world champion, were invited to participate in the round robin event.
The participants were (in order of ELO):
▪️ Boris Spassky (2690)
▪️ Viktor Korchnoi (2670)
▪️ Tigran Petrosian (2640)
▪️ Vasily Smyslov (2620)
▪️ Mikhail Tal (2620)
▪️ Vlastimil Hort (2605)
▪️ Leonid Stein (2605)
▪️ David Bronstein (2590)
▪️ Yuri Balashov (2570)
▪️ Fridrik Olafsson (2570)
▪️ Vladimir Savon (2570)
▪️ Wolfgang Uhlmann (2570)
▪️ Vladimir Tukmakov (2565)
▪️ Anatoli Karpov (2540)
▪️ Florin Gheorghiu (2530)
▪️ Bruno Parma (2530)
▪️ Robert Byrne (2510)
▪️ Levente Lengyel (2485)
♦️ Twenty year old Anatoli Karpov and three time Soviet champion Leonid Stein tied for first place, each with 11/17. Both players overcame a field that included the current world champion as well as three previous world champions and various world challengers of the current and previous generations.
