Rolf Voland pp.36-39
Der sowjetische Schachverband hatte für August 1941 das Finale der XIII. Landesmeisterschaft geplant. Nominiert waren bereits die 6 Teilnehmer des gerade beendeten Match-Turnieres - also Botwinnik, Keres, Smyslov, Boleslavsky, Lilienthal und Bondarevsky - dazu die Großmeister Kotov und Levenfish. 8 Finalplätze galt es noch zu besetzen. In das Finale setzte man hohe Erwartungen. Es solite eine Heerschau der sowjetischen Schachschule in den zwei Jahrzehnten ihres Bestehens werden. Um möglichst vielen Spielern eine Chance zum Einzug ins Finale zu geben - vor allem der auf breiter Front nachdrängenden Jugend- begann Mitte Juni in Rostow das Semifinale. Es werde in 4 Gruppen mit jeweils 11 Akteuren gespielt. Aus jeder Gruppe qualifizierten sich die zwei Besten für den Endkampf. Mit den 8 Vorberechtigten solite das Finale um die XIII. UdSSR - Landesmeisterschaft folglich 16 Teilnehmer umfassen.

The Soviet chess federation had planned for final of the XIII. Country championship to be held in August 1941. The 6 participants of the match tournament just ended - Botvinnik, Keres, Smyslov, Boleslavsky, Lilienthal and Bondarevsky - as well as Grand Masters Kotov and Levenfish were already nominated. 8 final places still needed to be filled. In the final one set high expectations. It should be a show of the Soviet chess school in the two decades of its existence. In order to give as many players as possible a chance to qualify for the finals - especially the youthful players who were pushing on a broad front, the semifinals started in Rostov in mid-June. It was played in 4 groups with 11 players each. From each group, the two best qualified for the final tournament. With the 8 entitled persons selected, the final of the XIII. USSR - provincial championship would therefore comprise 16 participants.
################################
So nahmen in der Don-Stadt 37 Meister und 7 Meisteranwärter den Kampf um die begehrten Finalplätz auf. Das Reglement war hart: 48 Züge in 3 Stunden, vormittags Hängspartien, kein Ruhetag. Bei nur 10 Partien konnte jeder Ausrutscher alle Hoffnungen zunichte machen.
Das Rostower Halbfinale fand im ganzen Land lebhaftes Interesse. Hier kämpfen Schachspieler unterschiedlichten Alters und Stils gestandene Meister und "Grünschnäbel" - vom 60 jährigen Fjodor Dus-Chodimirski, der seit 1901 national und international aktiv war und mit vielen der ganz Großen die Klinge gekreuzt hatte, bis zum 17 jährigen Schüler David Bronstein, einem fast unbeschriebenen Blatt.
===
So 37 masters and 7 candidate masters took up the fight for the coveted final places in the Don city. The rules were tough: 48 moves in 3 hours, adjournments in the morning, no rest day. With only 10 games, any slip-up could nullify all hopes.
The Rostov Semi-Final attracted lively interest throughout the country. Here, chess players of different ages and styles would fight seasoned champions and "goblins" - from 60-year-old Fyodor Dus-Khodimirsky, who had been active nationally and internationally since 1901 and crossed swords with many of the greats, up to 17-year-old student David Bronstein, one almost an unknown quantity.

Am. 22 Juni 1941, einem Sonntag, waren 6 von 10 Runden gespielt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt lagen W. Alatorzew, W. Panow, D. Bronstein, N. Kopajew, A. Tolusch, W. Petrow, P. Dubinin und I. Vistanezkis aussichtsreich in ihren Gruppen.
Um 12 Uhr meldete der Rundfunk den wortbrüchigen Überfall des Deutschen Reiches auf di UdSSR. Die schreckliche Nachricht trug Pjotr Dubinin (der später sehr erfolgreiche Fernschach Großmeister) in den Turniersaal.
Zunächst wollte man das Turnier durchspielen, was sich jedoch als unmöglich erwies, da sich alle Soldaten, Offiziere und Reservisten der Roten Armee sofort in ihren Einheiten zurückmelden mußten. Außerdem war den wenigsten nach Fortsetzung zumute. Mehreren Teilnehmern war nach wenigen Stunden des Überfalls die Rückkehr in ihre Heimat abgeschnitten, weil sich die westlichen Teile der Ukrane und des Baltikums schon in der Hand des Feindes befanden. In Rostow gab es erzste Stromabschaltungen und Probealarme.
So mußte das Semifinal am 23. Juni abgebrochen werden. An jenem letzten Turniertag wurde die folgende Parti ausgetragen. Als einzige des Semifinales wurde sie in diesen schweren Tagen in der örtlichen Presse veröffentlicht und legte beredtes Zeugnis vom großen Talen des jungen Siegers ab:
===
On 22 June 1941, a Sunday, 6 out of 10 the rounds had been played. At that time, W. Alatorzev, V. Panov, D. Bronstein, N. Kopayev, A. Tolush, W. Petrov, P. Dubinin and I. Vistanezkis were promising in their groups.
At 12 o'clock the radio announced the word-for-word attack of the German Reich on the USSR. The terrible news was announced by Pyotr Dubinin (who later became a very successful correspondence chess grandmaster) in the tournament hall.
At first they wanted to play the tournament, which turned out to be impossible because all soldiers, officers and reservists of the Red Army had to report back in their units immediately. In addition, the few felt like continuing the tournament. Several participants were cut off from returning to their homeland after a few hours of the attack, because the western parts of the Ukrane and the Baltic were already in the hands of the enemy. In Rostov there were some electricity shutdowns and trial alarms.
So the semifinal had to be canceled on June 23rd. On that last tournament day the following game was played: Bronstein vs V Mikenas, 1941 As the only one of the semi-final, it was published in the local press during these difficult days, and gave eloquent testimony to the young victor.
########################################
Für einige Teilnehmer des Rostower Halbfinales sollte dieser Schachwettbewerb der letzte gewwesen sein: Sergej Belewenez, Lew Kajew, Wladimir Silitsch, und Mark Stolberg.

For some participants of the Rostov semi-final this chess competition was their last: Sergei Belevenez (killed 1942), Lev Kajew (killed 1942), Vladimir Silitsch (killed 1943), and Mark Stolberg (killed 1942).
