  GrahamClayton: Lisitsin also finished =1st with Vitaly Chekhover in the 1936 Trades Unions championship tournament in Moscow. He also played in 10 USSR Championship tournaments between 1931 and 1956, finishing =3rd in 1933 and =4th in 1954.

Source: David Hooper and Kenneth Whyld, "Oxford Companion to Chess", 2nd edition, OUP, 1992

During the 1954 championship, Lisitsin received a warning from the arbiters due to his constant adjusting of his pieces, which disurbed his opponent's concentration.

Nice Photo, but there is a mistake...

The two players sitting on the board are not Kmoch and Euwe, but instead Nimzowitsch and Systemsson, during a chess lesson with the theme "how to properly play the opening" to a group of Sovietic chess masters....

Notice the adouring faces of the Bolscevics until the two master are through the lesson by showing theyre famous game

Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927

I believe Hooper and Whyld have miscounted. Lisitsin seems to have played in 11 USSR Championships:

1. 1931 (10-12)
2. 1933 (3-5)
3. 1934/5 (5-8)
4. 1937 (5-7)
5. 1939 (7)
6. 1940 (11-12)
7. 1944 (11-14)
8. 1948 (6-9)
9. 1954 (4-5)
10 1955 (15-16)
11 1956 (18)

This is taken from crosstables in the Cafferty/Taimnov book., and can be verified by looking at the collections of USSR Championships (see Game Collection: USSR Championship Tournament Index for a quick list).

  Roemer: Is this the same Lisitsin who wrote a book Bobby Fischer had to read before the match with Spassky? How does that book compare to A. Suetin's "Lehrbuch fur Fortgeschrittene"?
