Older chess lovers are probably remembering the big match played in Belgrade between the team of the Soviet Union and the rest of the world.In 1970, the elite of the greatest masters of chess came together and possibly the biggest spectacle to date.A large number of people gathered in the square of Nikola Pasic, where he was following the pillows on the demonstration boards.And in the hall were the best players in the world.Robert Fischer was unpredictable and weird in the demands.Still, he unexpectedly agreed to play on the second board and left the first to Bent Larsen.So the match on the scoreboards was like this.
The USSR played with the following players: USSR: 1.Boris Spaski 2. Tigran Petrosyan, 3. Viktor Korchnoy, 4. Lav Polugajevski, 5. Efim Geler, 6. Vasily Smyslov, 7. Mark Tajmanov, 8.. Mihail Botvinik, 9. Mihail Talj, 10. Paul Keres, reserves: Leonid Stein and David Bronstein.
I’m sorry I do not have an adequate translation of the name of the chess player into English, but I hope that they will know you about which players it is.
The team of the rest of the world has performed the following composition:1. Bent Larsen (Denmark), 2. Robert Fischer (USA), 3. Lajos Portis (Hungary), 4. Vlastimil Hort (CSSR), 5. Svetozar Gligoric (Yugoslavia), 6. Semjuel Reshevsky (USA), 7.. Volfgang Ulman (DDR), 8. Milan Matulovic (Yugoslavia), 9. Miguel Najdorf (Argentina), 10. Borislav Ivkov (Yugoslavia), reserves: Friedrich Olafson (Iceland) and Klau Darga (Germany).
The result of the match was 20.5: 19.5 !
For the end,
I set out one lot between Bent Larsen and Boris Spaski. The excellent combination ended with two queens for black.
Enjoy.

Only men were in this tournament.
The best Russian players against the other best in the world at the time.
There are special tournaments for ladies.
I am old enough to remember this, Dragan! And it was easy to understand the names of the players – you need not worry about that 🙂
Thank you, I always worry about that translation of foreign names in English. In 1970, when Belgrade was a center of chess game , I was 18 years old and was a great fan of this game.
I waited for hours In front of the playing hall, to see Bobby. He was a genius for me and he stayed to this day.
I have never been a great player, but I have always enjoyed playing chess, from a young age. You have inspired me to make a quiz about the game 🙂 Thank you, again, Dragan!
I’d be glad to handle you chess quiz.
We had similar experiences with this beautiful game in our lives.
Here is an easy quiz I made a couple of years ago.

But I will make a more challenging quiz soon 🙂
I did play chess a long time ago, but don’t follow chess championships.
It’s nice to know that you are playing chess. It’s a great game. You do not have to follow Chess events.
Much has changed in the last 20 years and the arrival of PC computers.
Thank you Pamela.
I’m not a big fan of the sport. I have never played chess. At the first photo (if from this tournament) I see female hands. In the listed names I did not read a woman’s name. Did there have been female participants in this tournament?
