Ratmir Kholmov - Selected Games 1945-1957
Compiled by Resignation Trap
--*--

Ratmir Kholmov in 1958 published a book, <<Rinktines Partijos>>, of his selected games in Lithuanian. Only 6,000 copies of this book were printed. It contains 50 of his best games up to that point, many of which are not available elsewhere.

The first entry in his book is a game fragment from the 1945 Arkhangelsk Championship versus Saprokhin (Black):
