Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-24-21  stridergene: A 66 year old Vasily Smyslov still getting 50% in this elite event. Amazing
Sep-24-21  fabelhaft: It was a good result but not an amazingly strong field, most of the players were rated well below Smyslov. But the next year he faced a very strong field with Kasparov and Karpov in the top two in the Soviet Championships. The only player of the 18 participants to be ranked below Smyslov was Smirin (who won his game against Smyslov). So that -1 score was quite impressive, with wins against players like Ivanchuk and Ehlvest:
