Nov-04-04    catfriend: He's famous mainly by his loss in this great game: Kasparov vs Gavrikov, 1981 Dec-30-04    Benzol: Viktor Nikolayevich Gavrikov Born 29th September 1957 Awarded the GM title in 1984 he was also USSR Champion in 1985. Dec-26-05    offramp: He may be most famous as being the luckiest-ever winner of the USSR CH. In 1985 there was a 3-way tie for first. There was a play-off but all the games were drawn. The official committee spent some time wondering what to do next, but a journalist told people that Gavrikov was going to be made champion on tie-break with no further games. The committee was annoyed at that but decided not to rock the boat. So they declared Gavrikov champion.
