USSR Championship 1961 b
Compiled by suenteus po 147

The 29th Soviet Chess Championship was the second of two championships held in the same year of 1961. This edition was held in the city of Baku from November 16th to December 20th. 21 of the Soviet Union's strongest masters and grandmasters participated, many of whom had participated in the previous championship earlier in the year, which had also been counted as a zonal tournament. In particular among them was Boris Spassky and Vasily Smyslov, who had both just barely lost seats to the Stockholm interzonal to be played in 1962. Spassky had had an amazing run until he was derailed by a loss to Lev Polugaevsky and then lost his last two games of the previous championship to finish sixth behind Smyslov. In this championship, with the absence of Tigran Petrosian, Viktor Korchnoi, Leonid Stein, and Efim Geller (who had all respectively finished in the top four, securing their participation at Stockholm), Spassky and Smyslov dominated from the start by leading 3½/4 after the first four rounds. Spassky then defeated Smyslov in their head-to-head encounter in round five, securing his lead for the rest of the tournament. Another significant victory on his road to the crown was his rematch with Polugaevsky, who had put a stop to his previous run. This time Spassky defeated Polugaevsky, which ended up being the decisive game of the tournament, as Polugaevsky went 7/8 in the final rounds, but was not enough to overcome Spassky's superb play. The future world champion won his first of only two Soviet crowns with an impressive 14½/20, having scored wins against half the field. Spassky's success was credited in part to his taking on Igor Bondarevsky as his trainer after his disappointing result at the Moscow championship and missing his chance to go to Stockholm. Spassky would eventually triumph at the next Soviet zonal and begin his journey to becoming champion of the world.
