Sarajevo 1966 (20 March - 7 April) Shared 1st with Ciric, over Ivkov, Pachman, Matulovic, Pietzsch, Janosevic, Minev, Jansa and Kotov, with +9 -2 =4. Di Felice, "Chess Results 1964-1967," p.303; Winter, p.154

"The Czech master Jansa, who was both a friend and an admirer of Boris Spassky, chose against me that same variation of the Ruy Lopez, in principle favourable for white, which had nevertheless caused me so much trouble in the 9th game with Spassky. In a very sharp position Jansa offered me a draw and in reply I immediately blundered and lost..." Tal vs Jansa, 1966

Round 11 Key Game- Mukhin had been leading through round 10: Tal vs M Mukhin, 1972 <1-0>

Tal: "Up till the last minute, the composition of our Olympiad team was not fixed, and in the end, when those who had definitely been included were making preparations, Savon and I set off to an International Tournament in Sukhimi. This was considered to be a final testing for us, and for this I personally was glad: I have always preferred live participation in a tournament to theoretical preparations.

And so- Shukhumi. It was hot, with the temperature in the shade sometimes reaching 35 degrees C, and the Northerners amongst us suffered pretty badly from it. Thus, for instance, Robert Huebner, with whom I became acquainted in Sukhumi, got sunburnt and his skin began to peel.

I began the tournament moderately, although I realised that it was bound to develop into a race with Savon. As it turned out, my game with him was the critical one. In the opening I fell into a variation prepared by Army players, got into a difficult position, and only succeeded in gaining some sort of play just before the time control.

Even so, I had no real illusions about the adjourned position, which is just what Savon thought, and evidently it was this that allowed me to slip out.

In the course of the resumption the following episode occurred. We were playing with a clock of far from perfect construction, and on which the flag fell at nowhere near the time control. I saw that by rights White had at least a minute left, and to demand a loss on time in such circumstances seemed blasphemous to me. All these thoughts occurred in a flash, and before the controller had time to record the fall of the flag, I made a move and pressed my clock. The game subsequently ended in a draw. Towards the end I managed to win almost every game, and thus take first place, while for the following game I was awarded a special prize. (K Honfi vs Tal, 1972)

Thomas:

"Tal's game with the new champion, Savon, was the main battle in this summer event at the Black Sea Resort. He fell into a prepared opening variation and escaped with a draw after many difficulties.

As a result of his play during the year he was selected for the Olympiad to go to Skopje."
