 | | Domdaniel: The plot thickens. It seems Rashkovsky was joint winner of a Spartak tournament in 1974, finishing ahead of Petrosian and crushing him in their individual game. The soviet authorities suppressed the tournament scores due to embarrassment - Rashkovsky was not yet even an IM. The games are still missing from the main databases that I've checked, though maybe Rusbase has them by now. <“You are absolutely correct regarding the games of Tigran Petrosian.
In 1974 the Team Championship of the Spartak Sports Society
among the Republics (in sports, Moscow and Leningrad were always
given Republic status) was held in Moscow. On board one, first place
with 5½ points out of 7 was shared by Naum Rashkovsky and
myself, and Tigran took only third place with 5 points. Moreover,
with white he was beaten in crushing style in 20-odd moves by
Rashkovsky.
Immediately after the Championship he (it is rumoured) requested
that this game should not be published in Shakhmatny Bulletin; later
he altogether excluded this tournament from his list of appearances,
and Shekhtman explained to me that he did not include the
tournament, so as to fulfil his wishes.> |

 | | Domdaniel: Petrosian was editor of '64', the main Russian chess publication. It made only a passing reference to the event (the main team tournament in the USSR), and didn't mention Petrosian's loss. Tigran didn't get to be Tigran by advertising his failures. I found this score in NICbase - don't know if it's complete, but White is lost after 17 moves. Of which the first 15 were theory, 16.Ba3 being a novelty. [Event "Spartak tt"]

 | | perfidious: <Shams>, <Domdaniel> The Soviet machine had an immense capability in the field of revisionist history; a classic case was one I recently saw posted here, which I append for those who missed it the first time round: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola... Fool that I am, I figured Photoshop was a modern invention, but the Soviets were way ahead of us! |

Apr-18-12 | | ewan14: 1 ) the 17 move loss looks vaguely similar to Petrosian's loss to Gligoric 2 ) Not as small behaviour as stabbing Keres in the back |
