Moscow 1967
Compiled by JoseTigranTalFischer

Three years after the zonal tournament won by Boris Spassky, another elite international tournament was organized to be held in the Soviet capital of Moscow in 1967. Dubbed the 50th Jubilee tournament, eighteen grandmasters were invited to participate in the round robin event. Many of the best grandmasters from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe participated, including the world champion Tigran Petrosian, former world champions Vasily Smyslov and Mikhail Tal, and world vice-champions Boris Spassky, David Bronstein, and Paul Keres. This incredibly strong international gathering was won by three-time Soviet champion Leonid Stein with 11/17 at the final.
