🔵 Chess History - Tournaments
🔸 YEREVAN 1975
🔸 43rd Soviet Chess Champion
🔰 CHAMPION: Tigran Petrosian | 10/15 (+6 -1 =8) |
✴️ As in 1964, the Soviet Championship was not a Zonal this year. A Soviet Zonal was held in Vilna, from which Tseshovsky, Balashov, and Gulko qualified for the 1976 Interzonals. Petrosian, Spassky and Polugaevsky were already seeded to play. Geller, Tal and Kuzmin were selected by a FIDE Committee consisting of Euwe, Averbakh, Matanovic, Elo and Golombek. Kuzmin apparently withdrew and was replaced by Smyslov.
✴️ The re-emergence of Tigran Petrosian as the dominant force at the 43rd USSR Chess Championship surprises many, following his disappointing showing at the Alekhine Memorial (sixth place). He scores 10/15, to head up a group of GMs on 9½/15 (Rafael Vaganian, Boris Gulko, Oleg Romanishin and Mikhail Tal). The tournament is held in Yerevan, Armenia's capital city and the magnanimous victor attributes his success to the support of local fans.

23.Rd3! [The 'rook lift'. The rook joins in the attack via the third rank. The idea of employing the rook in the attack along the third rank is very common.]
