| ughaibu: As Ragozin was probably the strongest correspondence champion as far as over the board play goes and was one of the most interesting of strong over the board players he to me would be the natural candidate for best ever correspondence player but in fact of his winning games in the 2nd championship there are only two that I really like: V Bergraser vs Ragozin, 1956 J Jezek vs Ragozin, 1956 |

| meloncio: <chessgames.com> May I inquire discreetly when the games Ragozin-S.Mudrov (1928) and Ragozin-A.Sokolsky (1954) will be ready? I uploaded it three weeks ago, more or less, and I need both to finish my collection. The Ragozin Fans Club would be grateful and happy. ;-)) |

| Benzol: <blingice> Thanks. It took something like seven months working practically everyday but I think the end product was worthwhile.
However, it must be remembered that I was not working totally alone and I extend my heartfelt thanks to the other contributors. BIDMONFA is lucky in a way that a lot of the spade work has already been done for him. |

Didn't Botvinnik implicitly accuce Ragozin of leaking preparation to Smyslov at some point in time? |
