USSR Championship 1940
Compiled by suenteus po 147

The 12th Soviet Chess Championship was played in the capital city of Moscow from September 5th to October 3rd, 1940. Twenty of the Soviet Union's best chess masters competed in the round robin event, six of which qualified from the semi-final tournament in Kiev earlier in the year, including: Eduard Gerstenfeld, Mark Stolberg, Igor Bondarevsky, Iosif Rudakovsky, Alexander Konstantinopolsky, and Peter Dubinin. The remaining invitations went out to the elite of Soviet chess (both new and old), including Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, Paul Keres, Isaac Boleslavsky, Alexander Kotov, Viacheslav Ragozin, and Andre Lilienthal. For a more complete story on the conditions and aftermath of this championship, see here: Game Collection: USSR Absolute Championship 1941 Lilienthal and Bondarevsky finished as shared first, each with 13½/19. For the both of them, considering the strength of the assembled field, it was the greatest performance of their chess careers.
