"Errors have nothing to do with luck; they are caused by time pressure, discomfort or unfamiliarity with a position, distractions, feelings of intimidation, nervous tension, over-ambition, excessive caution, and dozens of other psychological factors."

🔹 38th Soviet Chess Champion

🔰 CHAMPION: Viktor Korchnoi | 16/21 (+12 -1 =8) |

♦️The 38th USSR Championship was held in the city of Riga (Latvia) from November 25 to December 28, 1970. It featured 22 of the Soviet Union's strongest masters and grandmasters who were invited to, and qualified for, the main event. The tournament was a tremendous victory for Viktor Korchnoi. He won clear first, a full point and a half ahead of second place Vladimir Tukmakov, finishing with 16 points from 21 games. It was Korchnoi's fourth and final Soviet championship victory, tying him with Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian and Alexander Beliavsky for Soviet titles, and being surpassed only by Mikhail Botvinnik and Mikhail Tal.
