💢 19th USSR Chess Championship
💢 Moscow 1951
💢 November 11 – December 14
🔰 USSR Chess Championship (1948 ) - Moscow
CHAMPION: Paul Keres, 12/17 (+9 -2 =6)
✅ The 19th Soviet Chess Championship took place in the capital city of Moscow from November 11 to December 14, 1951. Eighteen of the Soviet Union's strongest players, including the reigning world champion, participated in the round robin event.
▪️ Fourteen of the players qualified from the semi-final tournaments played earlier in the year.
Nikolai Novotelnov, Isaac Lipnitsky, and Mark Taimanov qualified from Baku; Vasily Smyslov, Evgeny Terpugov, Oleg Moiseev, and Nikolai Kopilov qualified from Leningrad;
Lev Aronin, Vladimir Simagin, and Salomon Flohr qualified from Lvov;
Tigran Petrosian, Efim Geller, Yuri Averbakh, and Isaac Boleslavsky qualified from Sverdlovsk.
▪️ Boleslavsky fell ill before the final and was therefore replaced by Igor Bondarevsky, who had placed fifth in the Leningrad semi-final.
▪️ Four invitations were also sent to Paul Keres as returning Soviet Champion, Mikhail Botvinnik as world champion, David Bronstein as world vice-champion, and Alexander Kotov.
✅ The assembled field was the strongest in the history of the USSR championship at that time, which makes it an especially impressive victory for Keres. It was his second consecutive Soviet crown and his third overall. He edged out runners-up Petrosian and Geller by half a point, and finished two full points ahead of world champion Botvinnik, who only managed to finish in fifth place.
✅ This tournament was also a World Championship Zonal qualifier. As a result, Geller, Petrosian, Averbakh and Taimanov qualified for the 1952 Stockholm Interzonal. Keres, Smyslov and Bronstein were already qualified for the 1953 Candidates, and Botvinnik, as World Champion, was not eligible.
