| USSR Championship 1964/65 |
|
The 32nd USSR Championship was held in Kiev from December 25, 1964 through January 27, 1965, with a field of twenty players: Yuri Averbakh ; Nikolay Bakulin ; Anatolij Bannik ; Georgy Borisenko ; David Bronstein ; Boris Goldenov ;
Ratmir Kholmov ;
Viktor Korchnoi ;
Nikolai Krogius ;
Anatoly Lein ; Vladimir Liavdansky ; Anatoly Lutikov ;
Viacheslav Osnos ;
Andrejs Petersons ;
Yuri Sakharov ;
Leonid Shamkovich ; Leonid Stein ; Alexey Suetin ; Mikhail Tal ;
Evgeni Vasiukov . It saw an interruption in the dominance of Leonid Stein, as Korchnoi came both hungry and in good form. By round 7 he had 6 1/2 points and was already 1 1/2 ahead points of the field. By round 11, he had stretched these totals to 10 points and a 2 1/2 point lead. After that, everybody kept a safe distance away and Korchnoi eased up a bit, still clinching first place with two rounds to go.

|
| Dec-30-12 | | Kikoman: Great performance by Viktor Korchnoi in this tournament, the only undefeated player in the field. :O |

 | | perfidious: <Kikoman> In two of his other three wins in the Soviet final (the exception being 1960), Korchnoi won with ease. For those who might object that Korchnoi won by only a half-point in 1962, that is true, but he had 12/14 and the runners-up only got within shouting distance after Korchnoi's loss to Mikenas in round 16. Even then, Korchnoi maintained a lead of a full point entering the last round. |
|
| Aug-26-13 | | Everett: One of Bronstein's last excellent tournament results at the highest level. |
|
| Apr-08-15 | | Howard: It was also one of Shamkovich's best performances in a Soviet championship. |
|
| Apr-08-15 | | bobthebob: I think Korchnoi will win this.
How does it affect his live rating? |
|
| Apr-08-15 | | Jim Bartle: Nice. |

|
| Jun-22-15 | | Howard: This was probably Shamkovich's best performance in a Soviet championship. |
|
| Mar-23-17 | | Marmot PFL: The absence of strong players such as Spassky, Petrosian, Geller, Keres and Taimanov helped Korchnoi win more games than usual but still a great result. |
|
| Jul-19-18 | | ewan14: Korchnoi beat world champion Petrosian twice in 1965 and the others were not a threat at this time |
|
| Jul-19-18 | | ewan14: Apologies , Keres and Taimanov at the USSR championship 1965 |
